Space Saving Spice Racks

I am one of those cooks who spend a lot of herbs and spices on a regular basis when cooking. One of the things I am really sorry when I'm cooking trying to find the ingredients I needed. The problem with having a small kitchen is that there is nowhere to hide these small jars and packages that include cooking ingredients - and find them fast! The obvious choice when you think about it, is to screw a tripod for some available wall space and place small matching jars containing various frequently used ingredients on this rack. This is the basis behind one of my favorite spice rack and set the jar. Featuring the Butterfly Meadow collection inspired by Louise Le Layer, the 7-piece set consists of a wooden rack and six spice jars, each labeled for a second herbs: basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme. I know that these herbs, but you get the idea - you can do the same with the different spices also.

When someone is at a loss to buy myself a gift I tell them that they can never go wrong if they get me a wide range of herbs and spices. Apart from using them regularly, I love to watch them to see their depth of color and tone. However, there are literally hundreds of herbs and spices - if not thousands, if you take into account different mixes - so before splurging out on a space-saving spice rack or two, you really need to think very carefully about where you will put it. Many people do not like bits and pieces cluttering their kitchen surfaces. If this is the case with you, the best place for a spice rack is secured to the wall. If you are one of those people who dislike something about perception and prefer everything in your kitchen to be hidden away - yes, there is still a possibility for you also.

The main feature of a space-saving spice rack is that it should be available. For aficionados of 'everything behind closed doors', which is a spice rack and put spice bottles that have been made to fit into a drawer: you simply designate a special drawer to store your spices, so you can find them quickly. For those people who, like me, prefer spice racks to be attached to the wall, so make sure you do not put them too close to the stove because the heat emitted from within to create your spices' strength to be reduced - and since some of the best spices are quite expensive, you do not want that to happen!

So do what choices we have when it comes to a space-saving spice rack? One idea, for spices, which sits in the corner of a table top, is a spice carousel. It is simply a wooden rack, usually rounded, containing a series of small bottles, each filled with a particular herbs or spices. When you need to get a specific bottle, you simply rotate the carousel around on its pivot until you find the bottle you need. This is really a good idea for a space-saving spice rack, since it can sit on the back of a little-used corner of your work against, and will remain available as prescribed.
