Our site is designed to educate about designer spice racks and different kinds of spice to put in your spice rack.

Take a look in your pantry. You’ll probably find that there are one or more themes running through your food store. Maybe you’re big on a lot of spicy food, or Mediterranean food, or good old American cuisine. All of these different types of food require different spices. In fact, any chef worth his salt will tell you that a good kitchen requires a tremendous number of spices.

The New Basics Cookbook by Julee Rosson and Sheila Lukins recommends that you stock your kitchen with over 30 spices and dry herbs for basic cooking needs. These include basil, rosemary, bay leaves, cardamom, chili powder, dill, mint, curry powder, sweet and hot paprika, pickling spices, tarragon, sesame seeds, saffron threads, and poppy seeds among others.

In addition to the spices listed here, you likely have spices that you enjoy keeping around the house. You may want to use spices for homeopathic purposes. Of course, then you will need to look into larger designer spice racks for storing your cooking spices as well as your healing herbs and magic remedies.

Designer spice racks are specially made spice racks that are suited to your spice storage needs. You can purchase one or even make one yourself. (Making a designer spice rack will require a hammer, saw, and nails and can be done relatively easily if your design is simple; however, for an elaborate construction you will need to be an experienced do-it-yourselfer.)
While a standard spice rack usually only has only one option for hanging, a designer spice rack can be stored in your kitchen in more than one way. Designer spice racks can be wall mounted or cut to fit a drawer so that they are neatly tucked away. It can fit inside a pantry door in your kitchen or hang on the inside or outside of a cabinet. Designer spice racks can be wall mounted with screws (though if you drill into drywall you will want to find a stud and use drywall screws in addition to metal screws).

Designer spice racks come in different materials and add to your interior decor. You can find a spinning spice rack that sits on in island or hangs from your kitchen ceiling. The spice rack can be made of wood, wrought iron, stainless steel or any combination of the three.

Designer spice racks make wonderful housewarming gifts. Of course, you will need to do a little homework to find out what your recipients' storage needs are and where they would like to put their spice rack. Invite them over to dinner and discuss your own cooking to get them to start talking about their kitchen needs. Then, go to an online or brick-and-mortar retail store to pick out a designer spice rack that will fit in with their home decor and help them feel comfortable in their new kitchen.
