Rack Spice is a Great Kitchen Accessory

By Stacy Fox

Today you have almost as many choices of kitchen spice racks as you do of the spices they contain. Spice racks are wonderful kitchen cooking accessories and home organization gadgets.

The rack spice should be in the kitchen so that you have your spices handy when you cook. But don't put the spices too close to the stove or oven because the heat can kill the potency.

A wall mountable spice rack is a good idea.

A "carousel" spice rack can be a good idea if you have hard to reach counter space.

Like to view your spices in one glance? Buy a "slanted" kitchen spice rack.

You can use the spice rack drawer liner that some stores are now selling if you have a free drawer in your kitchen.

The "Under Counter" or "Pull Down" spice racks fit under your kitchen cabinets. So, if you have free space on the bottom side of your kitchen cabinets, this is a great place to put your rack spice.

If the inside of your pantry door is empty use a door mounted spice rack.

Consider a free standing spice rack if you have open shelf space or lots of kitchen counter space.

You have to decide whether to use a large single level spice rack or a multi tiered one if you have lots of different containers of spices.

A gourmet cook may need a lot of spices for their recipes while a more basic cook will only need an organizer for 6 to 8 spices.

A vertical double shelf spice rack on your wall underneath the kitchen cabinet must have room between the top shelf and underside of the kitchen cabinet. This will allow you to easily remove and replace the containers. Remember, you need to be able to easily access your spices.

Some kitchen spice racks come complete with full containers of spices and others come without jars or containers of spices. And if you buy a spice rack with containers, make sure they're what you want. Some are glass jars; others aren't.

Don't get too elaborate though. Remember that you're trying to save space when buying home organization gadgets.

There are a wide variety of rack spice materials including chrome, wire, plastic, stainless steel, acrylic, and wood.

These organizers are durable. They help greatly if you are doing any amount of cooking.

And that's what you need to know about rack spice. - 30289
