Where do you store your spice jars?

[ Edited ]

I bought two of these spice spinners when I moved into my home last year.  I've since decided that I hate them.  They are flimsy and wonky and don't hold as much as I'd hoped they would. I don't have drawer space for spices, I need to store them in a cabinet.

Do you have a good system that works for you?

If so, I'd love to know what it is.

Thank you.

I did that in my last house and it worked well for me.  Unfortunately, it's not an option in my current kitchen.

The very large jars in the freezer.  Grocery store size in a handmade spice cabinet.

I still use the old Rubbermaid, double decker carousels.  They allow me to store the maximum in the space allotted.  I've never seen anything I liked better.

I have 3 in drawer spice racks in a drawer that hold all my spices

I've got my eye on this one at the moment, but I'll need 2 or 3 of them...

I use this as well. Apparently mine is now considered "vintage". LOL

 

I got this lazy susan rack BEFORE I was married. Bought for my first solo appartment...maybe 45 years ago?? Somewhere in that range. I don't use too many dry spices, mainly use fresh herbs. So that double decker fits my needs and I have room to spare for the sugar bowl.

I have spice shelves mounted on the inside of a food pantry door.  I have a lot of different spices and this has worked for me for years.  If you google "Door mounted spice shelves" you'll see a lot of these for sale - everywhere from Amazon to Wayfair, etc.
