Best range of spice storage to suit every type of kitchen

Spice organisers are handy storage solutions for all your spices, dried herbs and seasonings. With varying sizes, shapes and types of storage options, implementing an organisation system will not only save time locating them when cooking, but it will also help you to maintain a clean and organised kitchen or pantry space. The most common types of spice storage include:

• Spice jars - Spice jars are loose canisters for storing spices. They are a great way to get started on organising your spice storage.

• Spice storage sets - Reusable spice storage canister sets are a smart and cost effective way to begin organising your spice storage collection.

• Spice racks - Spice racks can be wall mounted or freestanding on your benchtop to display your spice collection in your kitchen or pantry.

• Wall mounted spice racks - Wall mounted spice racks can be attached securely onto your wall in either the kitchen or pantry to maximise space and keep your spice collection organised.

• Drawer organisers - Spice drawer organisers can be placed neatly inside your kitchen drawers. They typically have angled levels so that you can clearly see and access each spice canister and its label.

• Grinders - Grinders are a great option for any fine or coarse crushing of spices.

Things to consider when buying spice storage

When it comes to buying a spice storage solution to fit into your kitchen and cooking lifestyle, there are a few factors to consider first:

1. Amount - Are you a home chef who likes to collect spices or are you someone who just needs the essentials? Think about how many jars or canisters are in your collection and try to find a spice storage solution which will comfortably hold everything you own.

2. Location - Where are your spices going to be stored? Will they be on a benchtop, inside a drawer or securely attached to a wall? The location needs to be considered to maximise the space within your kitchen and choose the best product to fit the space.

3. Kitchen decor - Does your kitchen have a specific interior design that your spice storage needs to match, or is your kitchen aesthetic a little bit of everything? Choosing particular materials or finishes for your spice storage can make an impact on the overall look of your kitchen.

4. Frequency of use - Do you reach for the spices before every meal, or do you only use them here and there? This will impact your choice of spice storage, so work with your lifestyle to maximise efficiency in the kitchen.

How to organise your spices at home

When organising your spices to prolong their shelf life, it’s best to keep them in a cool dark area such as a cupboard or drawer, or inside your pantry. An easy way to organise your spices and make it easy to differentiate between them is to label them. The Kitchen Pro Denny Spice Label 72pk features common spices printed in a contemporary black or white font on a transparent backing, perfect for organising. Another helpful tip for organising spices is to arrange them in alphabetical order or group according to their use. This way, when you are looking for a specific spice, you know exactly which section to look in.
