The Best Rack for Your Kitchen
When shopping for a seasoning holder, you’ll want to take the layout of your kitchen into account. If you’re short on counter space, for instance, it will make a lot more sense to opt for a hanging plate ($22.99, Amazon) that won’t take away room you might have otherwise used for a kitchen appliance, such as a coffee maker or juicer, than it would to pick up a counter carousel (35.99, Bed Bath & Beyond).
If you’re the type that prefers to hide things away completely, a pull-out ($35.99, The Container Store) or drawer rack ($11.99, The Container Store) will efficiently organize all your flavoring while keeping it out of sight.
