Spice drawer
« on: January 25, 2015, 05:25 PM »
Hi everyone. This is my spice drawer. It is based on the small Kilner jars and I have 48 herbs and spices stored here. I don't keep my mix powders there as they are in larger jars but all the most common whole and ground ingredients are there. How do other people keep spices?

Yeah, it is a bit isn't it. I do have a shed a bit like yours though which sort of balances that out. The missus wasn't impressed with me taking a whole cupboard up just for my BIR stuff, but throw the odd Korma out to keep the peace.

Just upgraded mine from 2 off carrier bags (1 powder, 1 whole).

Now in 1 off 800 by 400 by 170 mm high tub neatly in 2 rows.

Does suggest I might need another clear out though

Just picked up on this. Thats a bit posh SR, very organised. I do have a cupboard but the majority are crammed into a massive mayo tub.

Mine is somewhat similar to Geezah's. I have to cram stuff in amongst the stuff which will never be used....it's a tragic symbol of married life :)

 ;D ;D ;D  Love it !!!  There are some advantages to being separated then and living alone in a house  ::)  My spice shack is scattered around in a few places.  And my fridge and freezer contain what i want them to, or more like what i can fit  :-\

I do have my own freezer (3 drawers although I do spill over into the family one) and probably a shelf in the fridge is mostly mine.  :D
