would be good to hear members thoughts on this and what you use etc and pics would be good :-) and just in general how you all store their spices.

Hi Jay

You ask a very good question.

I think what you're referring to is called a Dabba (the stainless steel pot) and Wala (the container of the stainless steel pots) in Indian.

I'm in exactly the same situation you are in and have far too many spice containers kicking about and was thinking recently about how to consolidate them all. I was looking at these on eBay, although I still haven't bough them yet -

I prefer the larger size and wider necks these have - more convenient than the slim spice jars and I'll keep them all in a cupboard in the dark so they don't go stale quite as quickly if left open to the light.

Hi spiceyokooko, I bought about half dozen of these jars about 5yrs ago & have proved to be a good investment
