1. An apparatus comprising: a bottom portion; a bottom sifter engaged with the bottom portion and having at least one sifting hole; a dial sifter rotatably engaged with the bottom sifter and having at least one sifting hole and at least one axially extending cavity; and a removable cover having at least one axially protruding pin to extend into the axially extending cavity in the dial sifter, the at least one axially protruding pin being in a spring-compressed state to facilitate engagement of the cover with the dial sifter and the dial sifter having a channel to guide travel of the at least one pin protruding from the cover along a surface of the dial sifter, wherein the pin is configured to engage with the dial sifter so that: when the cover is rotated into a closed position the dial sifter is rotated in relation to the bottom sifter to offset the at least one sifting hole in the bottom sifter and the at least one sifting hole in the dial sifter, and when the cover is rotated into an open position the dial sifter is rotated in relation to the bottom sifter to align the at least one sifting hole in the bottom sifter with the at least one sifting hole in the dial sifter.
