Wife came up with the best solution for drying brass after the clean rinse. She put them in a pair of her nylons and laid them on a stationary shell that installs in the cloths dryer, (for drying shoes or some such). Works perfect. She was the one that came up with a solution for the breakfast condiments. Instead of fooling around with a bunch of separate shakers. She bought some glass shakers with large holes in the lid like you see in all the Pizza parlors for the crushed peppers. But she'd mix 1/4 Black Pepper, 1/4 Crushed Red Pepper, !/4 Cayan Pepper, 1/4 Salt all mixed-up and in on shaker. I still use that on the table.
