    The answer is no for the salt shaker: You need a plastic or glass
    sleeve inside to protect your solder joints from the salt (the salt
    will eat right through them). 

    Note: I would make sure I only did a surface liver of sulphur
    treament, ergo make sure I don't get any in where the pepper would be
    going, although if you use sleeves for both salt & pepper then you
    won't have to worry about contamination.
