Choose Stylish and Smart Spice Racks and Islands for Your Kitchen
Your cooking can be much simpler if you arrange all your spices and condiments neatly in spice racks. You can choose from tabletop spice carousels, wall-mounted racks and magnetic racks according to the storage needs of your kitchen. Label your spice tins so you can choose the right container when you are cooking.
Magnetic spice racks are cleverly designed to hold spices and condiments. The rack has a metal board or a stand and magnetic canisters. The metal stand can be affixed to walls or to pantry doors and saves counter space. The spice jars have a magnet glued to the base which helps attach the jar to the metal board. Opt for racks with strong magnets and sturdy spice canisters.
For an organized cooking space, you can opt for spice racks that fit into drawers. You can choose modular compartments that will fit your drawer perfectly. Install the rack in a drawer next to your stovetop so you have easy access to the spices while cooking. Before you get a spice rack, measure the drawer correctly for a perfect fit.
