Have you ever started baking something, searched for a particular spice the recipe calls for, and couldn’t find it in your spice cabinet? It’s so frustrating! Even worse is when you go to the store, buy it, come home to put it away, and the one you were looking for magically appears out of nowhere. That’s exactly one of the reasons why I switched to a spice drawer.
Organizing your spices is a crucial part of kitchen organizing because spices are so important to making food taste good! And it’s annoying to buy new ones (especially when you don’t need to) because they’re so dang expensive!
Instead of using a kitchen cabinet, where spices get lost in the back, organize with a spice drawer.
Since my kitchen has few upper cabinets and plenty of drawers, this made sense. I use a drawer right next to my stove so I can quickly grab what I need.
No more digging to the back of a cabinet only to miss what I’m looking for.
Here’s why using a spice drawer works so well:
01. Easy to see
Since I started using larger labels on each jar, it’s been so much easier to find what I need. I take a glance at the drawer and instantly find what I need. No more shuffling around jars.
I categorized my spices as well in a way that makes the most sense to me, based on what I use most.
02. Every spice stays in place.
One hesitation I had before committing to moving all my spices was how I would keep them in place. But I figured somebody must have a solution for that. A quick internet search told me there definitely was.
This spice drawer organizer fits perfectly inside my drawer. It definitely does its job of keeping everything in place.
When they get dirty, it’s easy to remove and wipe them down.
Using a spice drawer will free up precious cabinet space in your kitchen and will help you find what you need. It’s an inexpensive change that will make your life easier.
