Organising your kitchen
Keep the things you use every day within reach of where you use them, and store similar items together. Matching storage such as the wooden spice box keeps essentials together and leaves the worktop clear.
Keeping spices fresh
Spices last longest when kept cool, dry and away from direct sunlight and the heat of the hob. Close lids firmly after each use and refill only when containers are completely dry. Used this way, the wooden spice box will help your spices stay fresh.
A practical gift
Kitchen storage makes a useful gift for a new home or a keen cook. Storage like the wooden spice box looks good on a shelf, so it is a present that is used and seen every day.
Small kitchens
In a small kitchen every centimetre counts. Keeping spices together in one container uses space far better than a cupboard full of packets. Using the wooden spice box is a simple way to win back space.
Spice tips
Whole spices keep their flavour longer than ground ones, so buy small amounts of ground spice and refill often. Toasting whole spices briefly in a dry pan brings out their aroma. Storage like the wooden spice box keeps both kinds ready to use.
Labelling ideas
Keep the same spices in the same places each time, so you can grab the right one at a glance while cooking. Small habits like this keep the wooden spice box neat and easy to use.
On display
Good-looking storage is made to be seen. Keep it on an open shelf or the worktop near the hob, where it is handy while cooking and adds a stylish touch. Storage like the wooden spice box is as decorative as it is useful.
Everyday cooking
Having your most-used spices together in one place makes everyday cooking quicker, from a weekday dal to a weekend biryani. Storage like the wooden spice box keeps them all within reach.
Traditional Indian kitchens
In many South Asian homes, a spice box sits right beside the hob, holding the spices used every day for dal, curry and sabzi. Having them all in one box with a single spoon makes cooking faster, and the glass lid shows at a glance when something needs refilling.
Solid wood
Handmade from solid wood, the box has a warm, rich colour and sturdy joints, and it will darken gently with age.
