It's tough finding a spice rack that matches your specific needs. I was recently looking for one that had a lot of jars, and would also accommodate my space limitations. Our old spice rack had 20 compartments, and was great for having all our spices handy. But the lids were getting weak from years of use, and it took up way too much counter space.
I came across the Trudeau Maison Axia 16-Bottle Revolving Spice Rack,
available both online & in store across Canada at Walmart. I
immediately searched out a sample and put it to the test.
This spice rack not only
has 16 bottles, which gives you a lot of selection at your fingertips,
but it also comes with 16 different herbs & spices. From Cinnamon, to
parsley, to thyme and basil, you'll find many in between. Some of the spices
included I have never personally used, so I opted to fill the others up with my
own personal favorites to compliment what was already included in the
set.
Each of the 16 spice
jars comes with a screw on/off cap lid which allows you to pour, sprinkle,
or keep it closed for freshness. The spice rack itself is narrow and short,
taking up little counter space. It revolves so that you can
easily grab whichever herb or spice you'd like in a pinch. Pun
intended! For finely ground spices, the sprinkle holes work fine. For the chunkier herbs like chives, you will have to utilize the pour feature, or screw off the lid.
Overall, I like
this spice rack. I think it'll be good over the long haul and is already a
great addition to our kitchen. It is compact and handy and would be especially fitting for someone residing somewhere with little counter space. For the price point, it's definitely a good buy.
I just wish that it would have come with a variety of commonly used herb & spice labels for those that were both included in the set, as well as, for those that a consumer would add themselves. Not including any labels with the spice rack, makes it difficult for the user to differentiate between some of the similar looking herbs. The one spice rack image online also shows it with labels on the lids, which can be a bit misleading. It should also be noted that the amount of herbs/spices that come in the packs fill up the bottles about 2/3 of the way, not full as is pictured on the box.
