Does anyone have 6 inch spice drawers?
Comments (6)I have them, but not for my spices. They're out of my main work area, at the penninsula which I consider my entertaining area. I put decorative knobs on the drawers. It was one of my splurges. Those 5 knobs nearly cost as much as the rest of the handles in the whole kitchen. One drawer has my cheese spreaders. That one has a grapes knob because wine & cheese go together. I'm really the only one who gets why each knob "works" for the drawer it's on. One drawer has party picks, one has straws, one has decorative tea balls, one has poker night ramekins & cheese knives(more, I know.) I'd imagine they could fit bunches of spices. The drawers are nice, because the entire drawer can pull out and be moved to your workspace. You could divide your spices into baking, roasting, grilling, etc....See MoreStorage of spices if no pull-out/spice drawer?
Comments (31)loves2cook- I love the test tube rack. Since it was a gift I suppose it is hard to ask her how she likes it. What a great gift! WILL you be my friend????? My only concern would be putting it down and having it roll away....See MoreWhat do you have in your toekick drawers?
Comments (1)I have three of them, one under each 36" drawer bank. On the drawer bank that holds dinner and flatware, I store service platters and a cheese slate in the toekick. On the bank to the right of the range where I store my cookware and cooking utensils, I store my griddle pan, broiler pans and cooking bricks in the toekick. To the left of the range where I keep all the spices, oils, etc., I store the extra speedoven racks and a cutting board in the toekick. Here's a picture that I had originally posted in the other thread about toekick drawer hardware.

Comments (30)Zero aggravation using, some aggravation seeing. MAJOR brain overheating working out how to get to this point. My ideal would be a drawer with the odd stuff in the cabinet above. It works so much better than before when the bin in the freezer had who knows what in there, the skinny shelf above the spinner had unknown stuff on it and the shelf over eye level had a wide variety of loose jars but mostly terrible because oregano was on one side and fresh garlic on the other. We cook nearly every meal at home and use them all. Boogles my mind but have looked through the spinner jars and most if not all have been refilled over the years let alone get usedl. I just hate that spinner, it seems so make do with the little wire shelf next to it it, feels like it's wasting space and the shelf above is so high up. If it dies I'd fit in pull down organizers, drop the next shelf down and probably be able to put in another shelf. My ideal would be a drawer for small jars with the odd larger things in the cabinet above though. The oldest stuff in there might be the whole cloves as studding a whole ham doesn't happen these days - they smell wonderful. Ground cloves are long gone so I use a mortar and pestle when necessary. I've never noticed herbs and spices losing potency over years.. Things like whole red peppers cannot fit into little jars and it's cheaper to buy in bags so they go into the freezer with prepared fresh ginger cubes and such. A list inspires me to dig deep rather than assume we are out if what I'm looking for isn't in plain sight. I want cocoa, baking power, fresh garlic, molasses, bouillon cubes and so on with the spices, that's where they logically belong according to my brain so am stuck with a wide array of shapes and sizes of jars. What happened was the little jars that fit in the spinner hold less than what is in the refill bags and jars then we didn't know if we were out or not. No worries now. I sorted it out less than a year ago and the roasting pan only has 4 bottles left in it, 2 being surplus black peppercorns and Himalayan salt. 4 bottles of basil. I think 2 were part full too....See Moreolga_d
