spice tins
Ideally, spices should be stored in a way that protects them from the heat, light and moisture that are common in kitchens. When we moved into an apartment with a lovely built-in spice rack right under a skylight, I channeled my inner Martha and took matters into my own hand, replacing all of our unmatched, clear spice bottles with inexpensive 4 oz. tins fitted with a standard label (that can be easily printed from a preloaded Word template).
Hi Deb,
I must admit I have shamelessly copied your Martha-esque spice rack to revamp my own spice rack.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - I swear!!!
Hi Deb - thanks for the heads up on this site - I ordered a few of the tins and bottles to see which I liked the best (they have great, cheap bottles for homemade vanilla!). Anyway, I got one of both the 4 oz deep tin with lid, as well as the 3 oz deep tin with screw on lid, and was wondering if you had any issues with the regular lids coming off when you didn’t want them to (e.g., dropped, etc.)? LOVE the idea, btw - thanks so much - my spice rack is, unfortunately, right in front of a window (WTH?).
