Spice shelf organization

**Ceashels** · 01-08-2008, 02:22 PM

I figured Kitchen Pantry would be about the best place to fit this. It isn't a challenge but it is decluttering and organizing.

I ordered a spice tray (best price found was $30) and even though it is pricey, I needed something to keep it all from tumbling down on me and not look as jumbled and trashy. It is a little bigger than I expected but what a difference it makes. The tray has 3 shelves each with a cubby to hold average size spice jars. All in all it can hold 27 jars. I have 3 spaces for the slightly larger jars left and will be getting them from friends. But that means 3 jars not sitting out in the open or using a larger jar than needed.

I hope the pictures aren't too big.

I have looked at that same spice drawer unit! Glad it's working so well for you.

I've found that the plastic lazy susan type thingies work the best for me. I think they'e made by Rubbermaid. I have one single tier for the large bottles of spices and cooking spray, etc. and one double tier for the small bottles. I've even been known to use a single tier one on the baking shelf for baking soda, baking powder, smaller bottles of veg/baking oil, salt, extracts.

I have had that same spice organizer in my favorites for about a year, I keep waiting for it to get cheaper and so far it has not. I might have to just buy the darn thing now!

I need to organize my spices, too. Every time I open the cabinet and rummage around for what I need, they come crashing down on my head.

I just have one question for you. Where is the Old Bay???

Middle tray bottom right.... can't cook without Old Bay.

I didn't realize you were in Baltimore too! You'll appreciate this then, before Old Bay was bought out we used to ship it to Oregon for my Godmother... that and Berger cookies... yum.
