Organizing Spices - Continued

One quick way that you can arrange your spices so you can grab what you want quickly is on a spice rack, one that will turn in circles and generally is going to be no bigger than a bowl that holds two quarts. Arranging all of your spices on this circular merry go round spice rack is going to keep you organized where all of your spices are going to be well within reach. Putting them away won’t mean you have to reach up in the cupboard to stack them only to hope that they don’t fall back down on your head.

Another way that you can arrange your spices is to use a clear plastic container, about the size of two shoes boxes, or you can use a smaller one if you have fewer spices. Using this in the cupboard where the drawer slides out, all you have to do is lift the lid off, pick out your seasoning and you are going to be cooking!

There are a variety of ways to organize your spices that you don’t use very often. A great place, for spices that you only use once in a great while, is that little cupboard above the stove, or in the little cupboard that is above your fridge. These are great little spaces that will hide your spices away so that they don’t get mixed in with your other canned goods or dinner ingredients.

If you have a walk in pantry you can arrange all of the spices that you use occasionally in the pantry where you can quickly look at all the labels and pick out just what you want without having too much of this clutter in your kitchen.
