Topic: Storing Spices

[meggeth]

I usually buy the 100g spice bags in the hope that I will use them reasonably quickly. There is a section dedicated to storage on the forums - you may get some useful info from there.

Some of the cheapy pound type stores have good storage containers at very cheap prices. I got these, and they are just about big enough for 1 x 100g bag of spice, and they stack on top of each other.

Keep them inside the cupboard, but in the sealed container.

Thanks, we have a B+M just down the road in Wisbech so i might have to pop over there at some point.

Made my first spice mix tonight, and my base is currently simmering away. (CAs)

Don't forget, good or bad we love curry porn.

Prefer to toast and grind if possible, but more often than not, can't be bothered even though it does make a massive difference. I bought a load of plastic takeaway containers from eBay for next to nothing that all hold a full bag each and seal well - definitely need to be kept out of direct light though and preferably somewhere cool (not a problem in my freezing flat!!)
