Do you remember the days when you could just sprinkle some salt into a container and it would last for ages? I do, but sadly those days are gone. Nowadays I have to move the seasoning around all the time in order to get any kind of flavor. Fortunately this is not an issue with this item. The rotating seasoning ring comes with a square shape and little holes on top of it that can be used to store your seasoning or spices, allowing them to get dry out but still keep their flavor.
