I have a spice rack on the inside of the cupboard door. Fits about 40 jars, round and square.

I luffs it. About £20 from amazon.

There you go.

Hope you've got good hinges :)

Frouby · 18/03/2017 08:36

It's been on 2 years and never moved the door!

I've cancelled my plans today to sort through a drawer of clutter and turn it into a spice drawer Grin

We currently have this set up but DP deliberately ruffles them all up quite often because he can't stand them on standing in a line on show

A spice drawer? Shock Now you're talking!

Smashedinductionhob · 18/03/2017 10:53

Gin, this clearly needs to happen for the sake of your relationship :)

Smashedinductionhob · 18/03/2017 10:54

Them's good hinges

I was considering alphabetising my spice drawer to make it easier to find what I'm after- is that a step too far???

Smashedinductionhob · 18/03/2017 11:32

Only poetry suffices.

"So much depends

Upon

A well ordered spice drawer

Alphabetical

Or in order of heat

The round and the square"

Please feel free to get poetic

Will read this later! Thanks op.

I've got what Frouby has, was about £15 from Amazon. It improves my life in a small but noticable way (no more spice rage or multiple duplications!).

I have a wire rack, metal but coated in white plastic that screws on to the inside of a kitchen cupboard. Bought it about 15 years ago, put it up for the first time 2 months ago (yes, really) and it's changed my life. Fab. Apparently IKEA still sell them. Holds loads. Fab!

Indaba · 18/03/2017 16:14

Oh, and chefs do say they should be kept in a cupboard (thus it's usually dark), rather than out on shelves in the kitchen. Heard it in the food programme on Radio 4 so it MUST be true!?!

P1nkP0ppy · 18/03/2017 16:18

I have one like Frouby, perfect 🙂

GinAndOnIt · 18/03/2017 16:47

There are probably a million other things I should have been doing today!

Smashedinductionhob · 18/03/2017 17:08

Yeah!
Another spice drawer!

thenightsky · 18/03/2017 19:48

I'm getting a new kitchen fitted starting a week on Monday. I wish I'd specified a spice drawer on the plans Sad

Smashedinductionhob · 18/03/2017 23:07

It's not too late.

Will there be drawers?

MsJuniper · 18/03/2017 23:50

I have this... it makes me happy

Rightly so Mrs J, rightly so.

Smashedinductionhob · 19/03/2017 08:49

I have no cardamom :(

Smashedinductionhob · 19/03/2017 08:49

I must get some and crush the pods!

Smashedinductionhob · 19/03/2017 08:50

What is you favourite spice?

thenightsky · 19/03/2017 09:43

I had one of those Mrs J, but every time someone opened the cupboard door a bit sharply, a jar would fall out and smash on the floor Sad
