Quick answer
To organize spices with the LAB Gewürzregal, start by sorting your spices, then arrange the rack for easy access, and use clear labels to maintain order.
Why the LAB Gewürzregal works for spice storage
The LAB Gewürzregal is part of KPM Berlin's LAB series, designed by Thomas Wenzel. It brings a minimalist, multifunctional aesthetic to your kitchen, making it a stylish choice for spice storage. Its design is inspired by technical porcelain from the 20th century, featuring the 'BERLIN' lettering and a chromgreen stamp mark that adds a unique heritage touch.
This rack is not just about looks; its structure allows you to keep spices visible and within reach, which is essential for efficient cooking. Unlike closed cabinets, an open rack lets you see your spice collection at a glance, reducing the time spent searching for the right jar.
Step-by-step spice organization with the LAB Gewürzregal
- Sort and declutter your spices: Take all your spice jars out and check their freshness. Discard any that are past their prime or that you rarely use. Group the remaining spices by category, such as baking, cooking, or ethnic cuisines. Aim to keep only the spices you use regularly to avoid clutter.
- Choose the right location for the rack: Place the LAB Gewürzregal near your cooking area but away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as these can degrade spice quality. Ensure the surface is flat and stable. Avoid placing the rack above the stove or near a window to preserve spice potency.
- Arrange spices by frequency of use: Put the spices you use most often at the front or on the most accessible tier of the rack. Less frequently used spices can go toward the back or on higher shelves. This arrangement reduces reaching and searching during cooking.
- Label the jars clearly: If your spice jars are not already labeled, use a label maker or waterproof labels to write the spice names. Place labels on the top or side of each jar for easy identification. Consistent labeling prevents mix-ups and speeds up your cooking process.
- Maintain the rack regularly: Wipe the LAB Gewürzregal with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Check for any spills or residue from spice jars and clean immediately to prevent staining. Regular maintenance keeps the porcelain looking pristine and ensures hygiene.
