The start of a new calendar year has long been seen as a chance to get a fresh start in the kitchen. The COVID-19 Pandemic has caused millions of illnesses and deaths, in addition to a spike in the popularity of cooking and baking at home. The survey showed that 70% of participants planned to cook at home even after the Pandemic.
The section of counter space that is used for the spice rack may be looking a little rough, and in need of some type of organization. If this is a task you want to tackle, and you really want to give your herbs and spices a new look, here are some free, downloadable andprintable labels you can use.
Spice jars are one of the container options.
We want to make it clear that there is no need to organize or label your dried herbs and spices. If you have the time, energy, and funds, you can take on this project.
It depends on how you use your spices. A lot of people always have a few staple seasonings on hand (in some cases, just salt and pepper), and then purchase new herbs and spices individually as they are needed for recipes. A collection of different sizes, brands, and types of jars is what this typically results in. Again, is perfectly fine.
It may be a good idea to buy spices in bulk if you cook a lot of dishes. One- or two-pound bags or canisters are not necessarily massive, industrial-sized bags. You probably want to put the spices in smaller containers.
If you want to make your jars look more put together, you can use uniform labels, peeling the original labels off your existing jars, buying a set of matching jars for your spices, or repurposing a variety of previously used jars.
There are free spice jar labels to download.
The labels for spice jars can be downloaded and printed for free, even though you will still need to pay for the blank labels and printer ink/toner.
The Cottage Market has circular labels for herbs, spices, and other pantry items.
Somewhat Simple is a white, rectangular label where each spice is assigned a number and category. You can remove yourself from the mailing list after getting the labels if you enter your name and email address.
The labels are designed to fit on the Rajtan jars and will work on most other jars as well.
Simple, classic white square labels are what Anderson + Grant are about.
140 modern, minimalist white rectangular labels are in the Cooking Gift Set Co.
You can write the date of purchase on a blank sticker and put it on the bottom of the jar, but these labels don't come with a spot where you can add an expired date.
