Space Saving Spice Racks

I am one of those cooks who uses a lot of herbs and spices on a regular basis when cooking. One of the things I get really fed up about when I am cooking is trying to find the ingredients I need. The trouble with having a small kitchen is that there is nowhere to store those tiny jars and packets that hold cooking ingredients - and find them quickly! The obvious option, when you think about it, is to screw a rack to some available wall space and place small matching jars, containing various frequently used ingredients, on this rack. This is the basis behind one of my favorite spice rack and jar sets. Featuring the Butterfly Meadow collection inspired by Louise Le Luyer, this 7-piece set consists of a wooden rack and six spice jars, each one labelled for a different herb: basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme. I know these are herbs, but you get the idea - you can do the same with the various spices too.

How to Select FlooringSo, what selection do we have when it comes to a space saving spice rack? One idea, for spices sitting in the corner of a worktop, is a spice carousel. This is simply a wooden rack, usually rounded, that contains a number of small bottles, each one filled with a specific herb or spice. When you need to get a particular bottle, you just spin the carousel around on its pivot until you locate the bottle you need. This really is a great idea for a space saving spice rack as it can sit at the back of a little-used corner of your work counter, yet still be available as required.
