Spice racks are useful cooking accessories and home organization tools. There are almost as many choices in actual rack spice as there are spices they contain.

You will want to put your rack spice in the kitchen so it is close at hand for when you cook. As a caution, do not place the spices too close to the stove because the heat can destroy their potency.

Consider buying a wall mountable spice rack.

By using a "carousel" spice rack, you can maximize your options if you ahve hard to reach counter space.

Like to view your spices in one glance? Buy a "slanted" kitchen spice rack.

If you have a free drawer, then you can use the "spice rack drawer liner" that some stores are now selling.

Not utilizing the bottom of your kitchen cabinets? Buy an "under-cabinet kitchen spice rack", also called "undercounter spice rack" or "pull-down spice rack".

Use a door mounted spice rack if the inside of your pantry door is empty.

If you have lots of kitchen counter space or open shelf space then get a "free-standing spice rack".

If you use a lot of different spices, would you like one large single-level or multi-tiered shelf spice rack that holds all of them?

If you are a gourmet and use lots of different spices regularly, you'll want a large kitchen spice rack. But, if you like to keep things simple, you can get an organizer to hold 6 to 8 spices.

Another question is whether you can easily access the spices. For instance, if you hang a vertical double-shelf spice rack on a wall underneath a kitchen cabinet, you need enough room between the spice containers on the top shelf and the underside of the kitchen cabinet to be able to easily remove and replace the spice containers.

Some kitchen spice racks come complete with full containers of spices and others come without jars or containers of spices. And if you buy a spice rack with containers, make sure they're what you want. Some are glass jars; others aren't.

Don't get too elaborate though. Remember that you're trying to save space when buying home organization gadgets.

There are a wide variety of rack spice materials including chrome, wire, plastic, stainless steel, acrylic, and wood.

These organizers are durable. They help greatly if you are doing any amount of cooking.
