Having to maintain three households (Texas, Condo and Boat) created a bit of a problem in keeping spices on hand for cooking. I was constantly replacing spices. When I would return to any of these homes and try to plan a meal, I could never remember what I had on hand. I would muse. "I think I have chili powder on the boat, or was that down in Texas that I just bought that." and if I did remember exactly what I did have on hand I would find the spices that I left last year, would be stale. So, now I have a solution. My travelling spice rack.
I purchased this spice rack from Lee Valley and it hangs on two hooks. As shown next to the stove on my boat.
I have installed sets of these hooks in all three households, so this spice rack can be moved along with us as we travel. I now know exactly what is on hand and how fresh the spices are.
IT WORKS FOR ME !
