/ck/ - Food & Cooking

the last two places I lived either had standard shelving in the kitchen that I could keep my spices, oils, etc on or just so much counter space that I could line them all up along the wall out of the way.

new apt has a smaller kitchen so I bought one and I feel like a doofus for not having one for so long. It makes it just god damned easy and organized

how do you stop it from falling over

>>18207374
They do what they say, store spices, relatively efficiently and relatively easy to access. Some kitchens don't need them, some do.

I put some double sided sticky foam tape on the back so it hangs onto the tiles but it doesn't need it, it's heavy enough and seems to naturally hug the wall. it doesn't so much as budge or wobble †bh

>>18207408
do I need one?

>>18207410
where did you get that rack?

How do store your spices at the moment? How much space do you have in your kitchen?
If you store them in a way that isn't easily accessible, change that. If your space is limited or you want it to be small and neat, then a rack is good. If you have space and can place them somewhere else equally as easy to access, then you can do that rather than using a rack.

picrel is mine, or was mine a while ago, though except for cleaning it up a little it hasn't changed much. Easy to access, over the place where I do the cutting and work.
I store most of the spices in a cupboard, away from UV light, then I fill them into those glass containers when they deplete for easy access.
Spices are in german, but should be easy to guess. The macha has since been replaced with garlic powder, I just keep the macha in the cupboard, the UV damages it too quickly.
As I said before, easy to access, not in the way so it saves space. Perfect for my kitchen.

got it at Bunnings. was super hard to find as it was actually up on a shelf in the craft aisle (you have to assemble it yourself and it's unsanded/unfinished). I cbf sanding or staining it, I just put it together and deployed and just have to keep the wood from getting stained by oil and sauce splatters. good price, it's a quality item just know it doesn't have many pilot holes drilled so you need an electric drill or just some time and elbow grease (I managed to get all the screws in by hand was just a pain in the dick)

>>18207374
Yes, store spices cold, dark and dry.

>>18207374
It's a fucking thing to store spices. God damn you autist.

>>18207374
yes.
just use the cupboard on the side of the stove like a smart person.

>>18207374
I have a magnetic spice rack that's attached to the side of my fridge. Saves a good deal of pantry space.

>>18207484
It's for displaying spices. The best way to store spices is to not have them out in the light.

>scratches the fuck out of your fridge
eeh pass

>>18207374
Never in my life I had both good spice jars (that was easy to use for both non-ground and ground spices) and a basket/rack that would perfectly fit these jars.

>is organized storage a meme
Are you a fucking retard?

>>18207852
in a way that kinda was your spice rack

>are knives a meme?
are you autistic?

Real spice users have a spice drawer. Spice racks are decoration for posers.

>>18207374
I have 3-400 different spices and spice blends stored at any given point because I actually cook.

>>18207475
Is correct.

>>18207801
Doesn't know what the fuck is going on.

>is [literally anything] a meme?
4chan brainrot where you call everything a meme since you can't actually express your thoughts anymore

>>18208555
AKA a meme

>just have to keep the wood from getting stained by oil and sauce splatters
Rub it down with cooking oil so that it is uniform colour and doesn't absorb anything it touches

>>18207816
So put your spice rack in a cabinet or pantry. Makes it easier to see them stacked on a rack than digging through a cabinet shelf six containers deep.
>Need coriander
>Dig through shelf removing every single spice until I find it
>Takes ten minutes of searching
>Have to load the rest of my spices back in when I find it

>Get spice rack
>Open pantry
>Grab spices I need because they are all laid out in front of me and easy to see
>Start cooking

Everyone isn’t out to get you or look better than you, sometimes people have an actual reason to do shit and aren’t just being pretentious.

>Ignore the concrete dust on everything
Racks are the most convenient way
The only other option is a drawer and you label the top of every jar, but that has it's own difficulties
