Keep your spices organized with a magnetic spice rack

Magnetic spice racks are metal wonders in the kitchen that provide an efficient and orderly way to store spices and keep them within easy reach. These are modifications of the usual spice racks and shakers that house those red, yellow and green powders. Possibly taking a cue from limited space, a magnetic spice rack is designed to take advantage of mostly unused wall space in the kitchen. Countertops, drawers, and cabinets are the usual places for kitchen knickknacks, and walls used to be spaces just for hooks and screws. With limited space, maximizing any other open area is key. Having been charged with the usual hanging rack or standing types, these are equally fine, but only so long as the spice collection doesn’t exceed the 10-20 bottle mark. Containers that go beyond this number would make a huge clutter that eats up space and becomes an eyesore.

A favorite design is a wall shelf that holds circular containers with clear lids. This provides easy identification and eventually becomes a design of its own as well. A magnetic spice rack in this design can be purchased in the $20 to $25 range. This price is typically for a set of five or six aluminum spice jars, and the Kamenstein brand offers customers several options. If this is what fits the budget, it would be better to list the common herbs and spices used in your meals. If you have a lot of spices on your kitchen counter, investing in a spice rack that can hold 20 different spices could cost a little over a hundred, like the SOHO 20-Piece Magnetic Spice Rack with Stainless Steel Tins from Lipper International. This is still not bad for such an investment because, in addition to its obvious use, its attractiveness helps improve the look of the kitchen. For those with a spice count of over 50, then multiple sets would be required.

There is an innovative design from the brand, GneissSpice, which offers a set of 24 hexagonal jars that can be suspended side by side to finally resemble a honeycomb look. Airtight lids keep them suspended across a metal board or even the refrigerator door while keeping spices fresh. Each cap is already stamped with a spice name, allowing for easy identification. The beauty becomes apparent once all the jars are filled and suspended.

And just from the mere description of these revolutionary spice racks, you may be feeling all too convinced and anxious that the next shopping trip might include them in their carts.
