Customer Reviews of Kamenstein 5-Canister Magnetic-Strip Spice Rack
Customer Rating: Summary: very practical spice rack Comment: The five magnetic spice containers are perfect for organizing and storing. They take up very little space and eliminate spices lost at the back of the cabinet. I have four sets and have attached each one to the inside of a cabinet door. My spices are out of the way but very accessible. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Space Saver! Comment: These are great! You can mount to your wall or stick to your fridge and all of your spices are at your fingertips. Customer Rating: Summary: Magnetic Spice Tins are fantastic for organizing crafts/beads Comment: Really attractive and modern Magnetic Spice Tins make fabulous storage for organizing your beads/crafts. It actually looks like upscale modern decor while being functional. Customer Rating: Summary: Looks great and works great Comment: Pros: Looks great. The whole thing looks like matte finished stainless, and the plastic windows on the canisters add visual appeal as well as practicality. The canisters themselves are very practical. There are shake and pour slots on the sides (just turn the lid to open/close them)and you can pull the lid off completely for scooping. This doesn't seem like much of a benefit until you own a spice jar that ONLY has tiny little shake and pour openings and won't accomodate a spoon. The whole magnetic thing is pretty cool. I just stuck the baseplate to the side of the fridge, stuck the canisters to the baseplate, and I was in business. Cons: Hmmm, none that I can think of although I've read reviews that complained of the magnets becoming unglued to the bottom of the baseplate and canisters. BUT, this happened because they kept the spice rack close to the oven or on the range hood. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful, versatile, well-made spice rack! Comment: I had been eyeing similar products ever since seeing a magnetic 12-canister at my friend's house five years ago. I didn't really need the base because I intended to keep my canisters on my fridge (the magnets are very on these), but everytime I came across what I was looking for, the canisters were either very light and cheap feeling with a thin plastic top, the magnetic backing seemed flimsy, or they were prohibitively expensive for spice containers. This product is a perfect match for my needs, as it well-manufactured and relatively inexpensive when taking into account its high production value. I found that it was cheaper to buy the rack and canisters than the canisters each separately and now I can display them on my back-splash at some point should my aesthetic needs shift. The canisters have two means by which to dispense the spices: you simply turn the lid slightly to either sprinkle or pour your spice. I would have preferred slightly larger perforations for sprinkling but this is not a huge issue at all since I usually just unscrew the lid anyway and pour spices on my hand when cooking. I have since purchased two other Kamenstein racks (one much larger), and I use one of the racks in my home office for my thumb tacks, small paper clips, rubberbands, etc. Spices are so beautiful (both the color and texture) and displaying them, juxtasposed against each other in this manner, really embellishes my kitchen and makes the space more dynamic. The rack is a really successful piece, both regarding its form and function. An added note for parents: the canisters are very visually appealing to children as well as adults, which is another benefit. But they should be kept out-of-reach of toddler-aged kids if they contain spices or sharp items as mine do in my kitchen and office respectively. My sister did buy one after seeing mine and put it in her seven-year-old daughter's bedroom. She uses hers to organize and display her daughter's hair accessories. My niece loves it. I could see it being useful for art supplies as well! Great, versatile product at a fair price! More Reviews Sleek, modern and sensible, the 5-canister Magnetic Strip Spice Rack makes a great registry or housewarming gift. Each jar has a magnetized base to help keep it firmly on its slim tray. Place it on a rack or a counter; the see-through tops make it easy to grab exactly what you’re looking for. Set comes with .5 oz bay leaves, .5 oz. basil, .3 oz. marjoram, .25 oz. crushed mint and .7 oz. coriander. Hand wash. Imported. Tray is 12Lx3W”. Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Choosing Appliance -> Convection Ovens Convection ovens allow you to bake more foods (cookies, muffins, etc.) at once with even browning, but without the need to shift and rotate pans. A convection oven is the same as a conventional oven except a fan is installed in the back interior of the oven. The fan is used to blow and force the heat to circulate in the oven and around the food, thus eliminating the need to rotate and shift pans. In reality, though, even with the most expensive convection ovens, you will still need to rotate your foods, because there will always exist still hot spots in the cavity, because the cavity is small. Don't compare home convection ovens with most commercial convection ovens used by bakers and small food manufacturers, because their commercial ovens are much larger than home ovens and commercial ovens don't have any hot spots and therefore, there's no need to shift and rotate pans.
