Spice drawer insert

The refined alternative to the spice shelf: The spice drawer insert

Spices are for gourmets to the obligatory basic equipment in the kitchen, but also less ambitious and inexperienced cooks appreciate with the trend towards more subtlety and slow food the value of spices more and more.

This movement is felt in wide areas of culinary art and the general lifestyle sector, with the increase in the supply of unusual and high-quality spices in the sales landscape on the one hand and that of all related components on the other. This includes lovingly designed spice shelves, spice glasses or recipes with a special focus on professionally coordinated seasoning in Internet portals and cookbooks. The senses for spices are sharpened by such developments and make you want a stylish and appreciative storage of the effective tasters in the kitchen.

A beautiful solution: The Spice drawer insert

A classic variant of placing your spices in the kitchen is the spice shelf, which is equipped with small screw-on glasses of different aromatic contents. A practical alternative that can be realized quickly and in which no holes have to be drilled into the wall is the Spice drawer insert. In this case, the conventional principle of drawer cutlery insert is pursued, which represent a practical solution for the clear and quickly tangible accommodation of dining and cooking cutlery. Spices can also find their permanent place in the kitchen in this simple way and are also particularly gently submerged by the light- and fall-proof situation in the drawer. So the spices retain their aroma longer, the containers are not tainted by food vapors and dust with unattractive toppings and can not be damaged so easily by shocks and falling down.

The best models: simple, cheap or refined

The range of spice drawer inserts is not as extensive as that of cutlery inserts, for example, since this type of spice storage has not (yet) been particularly spread. Nevertheless, interested parties can choose between fundamentally different concepts. The most important feature is whether the insert specifies the lying or upright storage of the spice shakers. On the one hand, inserts are offered which are equipped with simple grooves on which spice containers of any common size can be placed side by side in a slip-proof manner and in large numbers. A great advantage here is also that spices, which can be bought in finished spreaders, with upward-facing labels can be accommodated in the drawer in a particularly clear way. Other models are designed according to the egg insert principle as holding boards with holes for the upright storage of spice jars. This has the advantage that the perforated scattering heads of the containers do not come into contact with the ground spice content and remain free. For a good overview, the upper sides of the covers should be labeled separately. The materials of spice drawer inserts range, as in cutlery inserts, from simple plastic models to elegant, high-quality variants made of solid wood.
