Spices or No Spices
One dilemma when buying kitchen spice racks is to decided whether or not to buy the spice rack with our without spices. Buying kitchen spice racks with spices is the most convenient, but you need to ask yourself are you ever going to use the spices that are included. Some spice racks come with some very unique spices that may never be used, or you may not even know what dish to cook with them.
Obviously buying kitchen spice racks without spices is less convenient then buying the rack with spices, but this gives you the opportunity to customize the spice rack to fit your style and flavor of cooking. This also sometimes tends to be the cheaper route. You can find spices at most any supermarket. The usually come in the small plastic spice rack bottles with the screw top lids which are very inexpensive. To transfer the spices to your spice rack jar be sure to buy a small funnel. This will help you transfer the spices from the plastic bottle to your spice rack jars without losing any. Some stores sell spices in plastic bags. In this case, cut a corner of the plastic bag off and pour into the funnel.
If you are going to purchase your own spices, make sure that the jars in the spice rack are not relabeled. You will want to buy on that has blank spice rack labels that you can write on or print on to match the spices that you will add to the rack. Another thing to not is the type of lid on the jars. Is it cork, or twist off, etc. Make sure to get a rack with a lid that you are comfortable removing. The last thing you want to do is to be knee deep in cooking and can’t screw off the lid to get your spices out.
Kitchen spice racks can really save you time in the kitchen without having to fumble through a cabinet filled with many little spice bottles. Make sure that before you buy it is everything you need. And don’t forget that you need a durable spice rack.
