I saw Alton Brown's spice "rack". He puts his spice/s inside little round tins similar to what special mints come in. He says they are available at craft or hardware store. He labels ea. tin. On the back of ea. tin he glues some velcro and on an inside cupboard door, in his kitchen, he glues the other side for velcro. Then he sticks the tins,w/ label on top, to the velcro on the door. Spice rack!! |

I love the tins for my spices. I have a long magnet like the ones used to hold tools mounted on the wall and the tins stick on the magnet. I have another magnet that I have my knives mounted on so I don't have to stick them in a drawer or take up counter space with a block.
Here is a link to the site I got them from...I got extras and use them to keep craft supplies in my sewing room. With the clear tops I can easily see what is in each tin.

I keep mine inside my kitchen cupboard on a double turntable stand, alphabetized. Quick and easy, no hardware, no installation. Maybe someday I'll put everything in uniform labeled containers but the original containers take up less space and I'd rather be gardening. ;o)
This was my sunrise this morning. 70's all week long - Spring fever has set in.

I lke those tin containers. My niece gave me a set that has a magnet board and the containers with clear lids. The containers are plastic and do not turn to close so I wouldn't put spices in them. They are very handy for little items. |

I have just like Cindy, (without that gorgeaous sunrise.)
What I want and can't find is th e thing Alton uses for salt, the little can with lid that you flip up with your thumb. Anybody tells me where to get that, I'll owe you one.

They must have gotten that magnet idea from me...right after I made my own magnetic rack to attach to the side of my fridge I start seeing them everywhere. lol
Does everybody alphabetize their spices???? |

I don't have enough spices to alphabetize them. The ones I use more often are in the front. When watching the renovating shows I love to see all the new organization things for kitchens. It doesn't seem like there are any cabinets - just drawers. And the new thing is the drawer for spices. Very cool. There is a new drawer for under the sink. It is U shaped and made of stainless steel for sponges and stuff. I would love all new cabinets and drawers. |

I love that drawer for spices, that's so cool. I have the undersink drawer for the sponges but it not that great. The sponges stay too damp and get that funky smell. |

Run your sponge each day through the DW. That's where mine is stored overnight :) and comes out perfect! |
