Pull-out spice racks

Spices are essential ingredients for most recipes; even the most basic will call for a little salt, if not a pinch of ground black pepper as well. Most people stock more than just those two, of course, and once the spice collection starts to grow, the question of how to store them so that each is visible and accessible becomes more important. If you're trying to store spices more smartly, a pull-out spice rack can solve a lot of your problems, especially as you can get one shipped fast and with reduced shipping costs.

Why have a spice rack at all?

Why have a spice rack to begin with? Why not leave the spices on the counter by the stove? You could, of course. But then you encounter two issues. One is the forgotten-spice problem that you're already trying to avoid. The other is that all those spices take up space, whether you stack them or place them in a row against the wall. If you're in a small kitchen, you lose valuable counter space.

Spice rack real estate

So, a spice rack helps you get all those bottles organized into a neat section, and even better, the rack moves those bottles elsewhere. The classic spice rack is the three- to four-tier wall rack; however, if you leave the rack up for long enough, the back of the rack can start to stick to the paint on the wall.

If you'd rather not mess with your wall, many home-organization stores sell step-type organizers that sit on the counter but at least elevate the spices in the back row. These racks are certainly better than nothing, but there's another type of spice rack that could be even more beneficial.

Pull-out spice-rack solutions

If you want a spice rack that's easy to use, sits out of the way, doesn't take up counter space, and allows you to see all the spice bottles you have, you need a pull-out spice rack. Depending on the style, these hide away in a cupboard on a shelf, or they rest underneath the upper cabinets in the kitchen. Both types are held in place by brackets. When you want to get a bottle from the rack, all you have to do is pull the rack out, and it will extend fully. You can buy them online from us, and we offer reduced shipping costs, too, making them an economical choice.

These sliding superstars of kitchen organization are sturdy and compact, yet they store a lot, in a very visible way that doesn't change how your kitchen looks. No more rotating blocks to find one little bottle, no more torn paint, no more splatters from the stove getting all over a counter rack and the spices sitting there -- now the question isn't why have a spice rack at all, but why don't you have a pull-out spice rack yet?
