Q. See question above. Why does Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a require a blessing when immersing a pepper shaker, even when one does not eat directly from it and avoids a brocho from a water pitcher for the same reason, namely that one does not drink from it but pours first into a glass?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a explained that the pepper is a food that one does not usually eat by itself and is kept in the shaker for a while, not so is the case of the water in the pitcher.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit'a.
