With restaurants mostly closed to dine-in customers and a renewed interest in baking and bread-making amid the coronavirus pandemic, you’ve probably had plenty of time to ponder the organizational system of your kitchen over the past couple of months.
Wrangling spices, and keeping them organized, can be especially tough since their bottles come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
