Get a Rack Spice as a Great Kitchen Accessory

By Stacy Fox

These days there are almost as many kinds of kitchen spice racks as the kinds of spices there are. Rack spice are useful kitchen cooking accessories and home organization tools.

Naturally, you want your spice rack in the kitchen so it's handy for cooking. The only caution here is that some people advise not putting your spices too close to the stove or oven for fear that the heat will be harmful to some of the spices' 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.

If you have a free drawer, then you can use the "spice rack drawer liner" that some stores are now selling.

If you are not using the bottom side of your kitchen cabinets you can buy an under the cabinet spice rack. This is also called the "Undercounter Spice Rack" or the "Pull Down Spice Rack."

Use a door mounted spice rack if the inside of your pantry door is empty.

If you have lots of kitchen counter space or open shelf space then get a "free-standing spice rack".

Do you use a lot of different spices in your cooking? Then you have to decide whether you want a large single level spice rack or a multi tiered one that holds all of them.

If you are a gourmet and use lots of different spices regularly, you'll want a large kitchen spice rack. But, if you like to keep things simple, you can get an organizer to hold 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.

Do you want a spice rack that comes pre-filled with spices or do you want to do your own shopping? Also, do you want a higher quality spice rack that has glass jars or one that is more inexpensive?

Keep things as simple as possible. The goal is to save space when you buy home organization tools.

Kitchen rack spice comes in a wide variety of material including acrylic, wood, stainless steel, plastic, wire, and chrome.

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