Equip Your Kitchen With Jar Spices

Posted on September 2nd, 2010 in Spice Rack by spicerack  Tagged ,

You might be in the process of remodeling or putting a new kitchen into your home. You will undoubtedly spend a great deal of time determining what types of appliances to buy as well as when to place them in your new cooking space. But after all the construction and finishing work is done, the space would be incomplete for the fun of cooking without an ample assortment of jar spices. Jars of spices placed in racks make a wonderful, colorful decoration in any kitchen, and the great thing about spices in jars is that they are not only beautiful but also functional as well in your new culinary workspace.

It is always handy to have a spice blend as one of your jar spices. Many enjoy the flavor that comes from using an Italian Seasoning blend of organic spices. These organic spices typically include marjoram, an herb in the mint family; thyme; rosemary; savory; sage; oregano and basil. This makes it very easy to prepare a dish such as Herb Marinated Chicken, for example. The chicken can be cut up and then placed in a plastic food storage bag. To this bag you can add extra virgin oil oil, a couple of tablespoons of Ouzo, a Greek liquor that tastes like licorice, and a healthy shake of your jar of spices. Seal the top, and rotate the chicken around in the bag, then place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour. This succulent chicken can then be roasted in the over or placed on the grill for a delicious dinner.

You can also use this jar of spices to prepare spinach lasagna. This is a wonderful meatless main dish that substitutes chopped spinach for the meat that typically goes into the sauce of lasagna. You layer the sauce, spinach, cheeses and lasagna pasta, finishing with a layer of sauce and cheese on top, and bake for an hour. That, combined with some garlic bread, a green salad and some red wine, will make you a star in the kitchen.

Cinnamon is another of the jar spices that you will not be able to do without. One of the most popular jar of spices that you will likely have in your kitchen, you can use it to prepare a host of summertime fruit pies. Try a cherry pie with a coconut and almond crumble on top, all seasoned with cinnamon. Alternately, you could also try a Pumpkin Pie jar of spices. This works wonderfully for the squash pie, but it is also an ingredient you can try for seasoning hot cider beverages and homemade ketchup.

Other spices in jars that you will use include granulated garlic. Use this to season guacamole and other savory spreads. Most cooks could not do without black and red pepper spices in jars. These are found in nearly every savory food dish.

Jars of spices add zest to your meals, and those same jars of spices add a colorful touch to your new kitchen decor.

Everyday Time-Saving Solutions

Posted on August 28th, 2010 in Spice Rack by spicerack  Tagged , ,

Life in the world just seems to go faster and faster each day, doesn’t it? Each technological advance and every personal change you make in getting married, divorced, raising kids, etc just seems to add fuel to the fire and increase the pace at which you live. One thing is certain – you have a limited amount of time and it is up to you to make the most of it. Fortunately, you can take steps to make life run smoother.

Organizing your kitchen is a great way to help make life easier. After all, think of the time you spend in the kitchen each week cooking meals and feeding yourself and your family. A spice rack is a good place to start in collecting your spices and storing them in one location. A cylinder shaped container (think of a large 32 ounce cup made of ceramic, wood, or metal) for storing your commonly used spatulas, whisks, etc near the stove will help keep them within reach for when you’re slaving over that hot stove.

When you’re going to follow a recipe, try pouring out the individual ingredients into bowls prior to starting. Ramekins work well for this, but any bowl will do. Simply measure the 3/4 tablespoon of this, 1 teaspoon of that and put them in one or more bowls. Once you start cooking you will see how nicer it is to simply grab the bowls of ingredients to mix them in instead of trying to measure ingredients while the meat, etc is starting to burn on the stove.

Another tip in the kitchen is to cook larger quantities of any meal you prepare. The amount of time you spend cooking a meal for 4 and a meal for 8 is almost the same. Why not get the benefit of leftovers for your efforts? This translates to less time spent cooking and more time for other things.

Laundry can be simplified in three words: Cold Water Detergent. Several major brands offer this type of detergent now. In addition to cutting down on your utilities, this allows you to combine clothes a little more liberally. Combining clothes into larger loads means potentially less loads and less time spent waiting for them to finish.

Keeping track of your daily schedule without some kind of written reminder is foolish. Unless you’re one of the rare few with photographic memories, purchase a simple wall calendar or daily planner and record important dates and times on it. Then, you will have a reference point to refer to whenever you are asked if you have time available on a certain day for an activity.

The above are just a few suggestions on how you can get a handle on some of life’s regular chores and make things run a little smoother for yourself. Give them a try if you haven’t already – you’ll be glad you did.

A Systematic Approach to Organizing Kitchen Shelves

Posted on August 24th, 2010 in Spice Rack by spicerack  Tagged , , , ,

The kitchen is often the center of activity in many modern homes. It is the place where friends and family gather for holiday celebrations. It’s the place where kids settle in at the kitchen table for an evening of homework. It’s the place where families share meals and enjoy traditions. It is the place where romances are kindled and birthdays are celebrated.

With such a constant barrage of activity, it can be difficult for today’s busy family to keep a neat, organized kitchen. Fortunately, it’s not difficult with some of the tools available, especially in the form of kitchen shelf systems.

Older cabinets often feature static shelves that cannot be moved. Things that get used less often get pushed to the back and many people forget that they even have these items. The other disadvantage of fixed shelves is that it is very difficult to reach things in the back, especially unwieldy things like large pots and pans. It’s dark inside a cabinet so it is also hard to see everything that’s on the back of a shelf.

Installing pull-out shelves helps to alleviate some of these little inconveniences. Pull out-shelves can be totally flat like a regular shelf or they can be up to 6 inches deep to keep taller items from tipping over. They also come in many different finishes to match any existing cabinet color scheme. These sliding shelves usually mount to any permanent shelf or to the floor of the cabinet, making them an ideal choice for the do-it-yourselfer. This type of shelving is a great addition to any existing shelf system.

Pull-out shelves are ideal for organizing pots, pans and cookie sheets. Smaller things, like spices, present a different challenge.

A spice rack is a must-have for the home chef. They are made of many different materials. Wood is a favorite due to its attractiveness as well as its durability. Many cabinet spice racks are expandable, so as one’s spice collection grows the rack can easily be adjusted to accommodate the extra jars. Spice racks are intended for use in many different locations in the kitchen. There are racks that sit on the countertop, racks that fit snugly into drawers and racks that could organize an extensive spice collection in a large pantry. Sometimes wall niches can also accommodate storage of this type.

Whatever type of shelving goes into a kitchen, it is also important to group items by their purpose and to assign them to certain cabinets and areas of the kitchen. This will make it easier and more convenient to find the items when they are needed.
