Finally sorted out my spice cabinet. Turns out I own four jars of ground cumin.
Thought this might get a laugh here. I spent Sunday finally going through my spice cabinet and discovered four separate jars of ground cumin. Every time I was cooking and couldn't spot it in two seconds, I just bought another one on the grocery store.
My cabine ss super deep and narrow, so I was only seeing the front row while everything behind it sat in the dark. Half the cleanout was just me finding stuff from three years ago that had completely lost all its flavor.
Ended up setting up the SpaceAid 2-tier pull-out rack since it was one of the fow options thin enough to squeeze through my cabinet door. The hinges eat up about half an inch of the opening, so I had to measure the actual clearance before screwing the base down.
Taller bottles like vinegar or bulk seasoning jars definitely don't fit on the bottom tier, so those had to stay on a separate shelf. But f or standard spice bottles, actually being able to pull its the tray out mid-recipe instead of playing Jenga with glass jars has been huge.
Anyway, the cabinet is finally under control and my cumin hoarding days are officially over. Curious what kind of random kitchen duplicate everyone else discovered when they finally reorganized their space?
