Spice Racks are rubbish

Not that big a fan of spice racks, mine are in plastic tray things on a cupboard shelf but I am really tight for room. Plus I had to buy something for £9 to get the total order cost over £20 for free delivery. Will review and report back in due course.

I have this very one. The great thing is you can add extra tiers.

I pine for something like that. I do pretty much all the cooking in our house so nobody feels my pain. This is my spice cupboard. My m-i-l, who is my hero and has done all the cooking in her house for like 65 years, organised me by labelling the lids and separating green/orange a few years ago.

It's an arseache when you're making curry or something new though

Is this the most first world of all the problems?

Mine was purchased when a new lodger moved in and we ran out of cupboard space. It's on the side of the built-in oven - can you not find a spot for these? They came as individual shelves and you could choose how many you had. They could go horizontally too if you had the space.

This is my current set up ^

It actually works pretty well as I know by heart which herb/spice/whatever is in which sliding draw thing.

My issue is small kitchen and overzealous cooking/neatness obsessions already have storage box things on top of the cupboard and am tight on space.

 

[quimcunx]

About 20 spices in the box. It's easy to flip through them. Any overspill goes in the accoutrements cupboard.

You can see the sticky strips where I experimented with stick on spice jar holders.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I buy mine in bags. They store in a plastic box in a cupboard way more easily.

 

[existentialist]

I bodged up 4 IKEA spice racks to make a 4 tier one to hang on the wall. Works a treat.

Love it

 

[existentialist]

Love it

Bunch of those IKEA racks, unscrew the mounting slots from the back, and use the holes to screw those metal repair strips in instead. And leave the front bars off, or you'll never get the jars in or out!

 

[Little Piranha]

I get a pathetic amount of satisfaction from organising things. Not sure how I managed to have such a mess of spice storage but I definitely know my ( still furloughed) project for next week.

I like your oven mitt

 

[Lord Camomile]

Weirdly, I just rearranged my kitchen a little bit and now all my herbs and spices are in the same place, next to my cooker

 

[Lord Camomile]

That whisk never gets used, btw; don't be fooled by its prominence

 

[Badgers]

What is that bread slice board thing?

I love a whisk have six now and they all get regular use.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, it's literally just a smaller chopping board I tend to use it in an attempt to not cross-contaminate, so I'll cut chicken on it, dump it in the sink and then use the bigger board for the rest of the recipe.

Would kind of like a better smaller board tbh, but it seems oddly indulgent to buy a new one when I have which does basically work...

Yeah, my cooking style is such that a whisk is 'fancy'

 

[Saul Goodman]

I don't have a spice rack but anyone who doesn't see the value in one (or ten) probably doesn't cook very often, or doesn't use spices when they do. Rooting through 100 jars to find the ingredients for a curry is far from enjoyable. Doing it on a regular basis is infuriating. I need to make a spice rack.

Should I start the 'Chopping Board' thread then?

Gotta keep the #content coming and feeding those #analytics.

Just reviewing my pick. Proud to see all the bottom shelf are in alphabetical order

Ah, that's more like what my spice cupboard (from which I replenish my spice rack), only without the fancy-schmancy turntable effort, looks like

 

[UrbaneFox]

The turntable is a pain in the neck. Waste of a corner. However, the stuff is kept in the dark, and folded packets mean they are not exposed to extra air.
