What’s The Best Way to Store Spices?



Let’s start with a simple question; how many types of spices are there in your kitchen? Dozens for sure and naturally storing them in an organized manner is not easy. Here are a few ways to address this issue:

Keep All of the Containers Together


People don’t really care about how they store spices; at least not until they need a specific one while they are cooking food. It can be a nightmare looking for a jar of cardamom when you need it.
This is why it’s always a good idea to store all the containers together. It’s also a good idea to take out the time and label each and every one of these containers. You can also use mini jars and paint their tops using chalkboard paint.

Test Tube Rack

Another way to prevent this problem is by purchasing a test tube rack and storing the containers in there. The rack will give you immediate access to the spices.
All you have to do is empty the spice containers into test tubes, pick a cheap wooden crate and place the tubes in there.    

Arrange the Containers in a Pattern


Spices have different colors and you can use that to your advantage by placing them in a pattern. Not only does it look visually appealing, it also allows you to keep all of your seasoning together.

Store Them in the Fridge

You can also store spices in the space available on the side of the fridge. Just make sure that the labels are marked properly. You can also use a chalkboard in order to keep track of which container is stored where.
Since there’s limited space available in the fridge, it’s a good idea to store the spices you use most frequently in there. 

Hang the Jars


Another way in which you can use the colorful spices is by hanging them on the wall. Not only does it allow you to store spices in an organized manner, it’s also a good idea for decorating your home. It’s also a practical idea since all you need is a screw hook, matching jars and a wire.

Store Spices in Tins

Another way in which you can store spices is by placing them in small tins and storing them in the kitchen cabinet.

Safely Storing Glass Jars in a Freezer—Without Breaking Them

Image
Glass jars are no doubt the ultimate choice for storing food. Nobody wants plastic containers leeching toxins and chemicals into their food items. But some people may still choose plastic containers, only because glass jars have the habit of breaking when put into the freezer. Luckily, if you’re careful enough, you can prevent glass jars from breaking in the freezer and do not have to compromise on your health. Just in case, if you do find a glass jar broken with food in it, you must follow FDA guidelines  when dealing with it, as consuming food from a broken glass jar can be dangerous. Here are certain tips to freeze in glass jars: Cooling the food Never put hot food straight from the oven or stove into a glass jar. It could give the glass jar a temperature shock and make it weak. Only when the food is cooler, should you pour it into the jar. But still don’t put the jar in the freezer. When the jar itself cools down, only then put it into the freezer. Preve...

Advantages of Screen Printing Glass Bottles vs. Paper Labels

Image
In the year 2020, let’s make your brand packaging go paperless. All the emotions you want to put into your brand message can still be conveyed without using any sort of paper-based labels.  Did you know around 26% of the total waste in our landfill sites  comprises of paper? As a brand that aspires to be socially responsible, it’s your job to make sure you’re not contributing to any of that environmental damage. A more plausible alternative that we suggest is screen printing. Let’s take a look at some other benefits: Flexible design options From a branding perspective, you can use the entire bottle as a canvas and play to the max of your designing capabilities. Whether you’ve opted for a bold design or a classic template, you can use as much space as you want to put up the best visual expression. On the flip side, if you’re using a paper label, your design space is limited to the shape and size of the label or the bottle. Screen printing even allows you to put up a ...
