I have had my SpiceCare set for several months now, and I love it. All my containers are filled, and I am waiting for the right occasion to buy another set.

When I first opened the box, I was so excited to try it out, that of course I did not read the instructions or watch the video, so I fought a little while with the metal label holders, but once I did check the instructions, it was easy to remove and reinstall them.

I love that you can group spices by what you use them for - Here's my Indian Food selection, here's the Italian stuff. You can stack the containers by whatever system you like, but by sorting them by cuisine type you can 'grab and go'.

I also love the pleasant shape and design of the containers - they look good, stack well, and form a circle. The build-in spoon leveler made me cry little tears of joy when I first discovered it.

If you are looking for a system
a) that keeps your spices properly airtight
b) helps you find your spices easily
c) that is flexible about where it can be stored - counter top or drawer or cabinet
d) allows for neat sub-sorting (like stacking all your baking things, or your Indian Spices)
e) that looks pretty cool, even if left on the counter
f) that helps you measure (spoon leveler)
this is the best I found. I'll get more.

Well designed and constructed. I've been searching for a system like this for years with different sizes, available shaker tops, and individual containers available for purchase separately (and no special rack required). I also love the custom label feature on the website. With a collection of over 60 spices and OCD tendancies, it's been very hard to find a system that meets my requirements. In response to some negative reviews, after watching the video on the TableFare website, I had virtually no problems removing the stainless sleeves to install the labels. One sleeve stuck, but it was easy to gently pry one of the bottom sides loose with a small screwdriver and move on. It only took me a little over an hour to fill the system with 1/3 of my spice collection. I see a great increase in my cabinet space already. I've ordered about 40 more containers to finish the job. Even my husband is thrilled with the system, increase in cabinet space and ease of organizing our spices. The customer service is wonderful; I've received a fast and courteous response to a couple of questions. Even though I've had the first system filled for a few days I still have to stop every time I enter my kitchen, open the spice cabinet doors and (while the heavenly chorus sings "Ahhhh") gaze in awe at my beautifully contained and organized spices. (Wish I had thought to take a before photo.)

I received my Spicecare set as a gift from my partner before the holidays, and I'm thrilled with it! Being a self-employed person who loves to cook forces me to keep a very organized kitchen so I don't waste time. I always put things back in the same place so I don't have to go hunting for it mid-recipe.
My shelves are organized so my baking items are in one area, cereal and crackers another, back-stock in the pantry downstairs, etc. The spice shelf and drawer have always been my nemesis. In order for me to find anything I had to pull a bunch of stuff out, stack it on a nearby counter, discover that one of the jars had popped opened and spilled everywhere, deal with slimy or hard to read labels, things falling over as I reach to the back of the cabinet for the star anise, a glass jar falls and breaks on the floor, etc.
This isn't the case anymore. Because all the containers snap together I can fit my baking spices together, and spice blends together and so forth. I just grab the stack and go. They don't roll all over the shelf, and they're visually appealing. The little teaspoon leveling flap inside is quite convenient.
I haven't bothered to use the shaker screens because I don't like holding my spices over hot food. The steam rises up into the spice container and makes the spices clumpy. Yes, I'm a spice snob. Although I've yet to commit to the idea that you shouldn't keep your spices for more than 6 months, or the one that says a year is the maximum before they lose their flavor. So I ride the fence on that, and rely on the airtight seal of my new spice jars!
I have three times as many spices than what the kit provides and will end up purchasing more to complete my collection. I think the quality of these containers matches the price and generally expect to pay a little more for something that's durable. Unless I ran over them in my truck these little guys aren't going to break.
One neat feature I've discovered on their website is the ability to print up more labels. I can type in "Billie's Jerk Seasoning" or what ever I want it to say and I don't have to look at my bad handwriting.

Finally! A spice storage system that works! This company has thought of everything...different sized containers, great seal for freshness, and a fantastic and easy labeling system. You can also deftly spoon your spices right out the jar for a perfectly measured dose, or choose a screen to shake your spice right out of the nifty container depending on the size of the spice! It is space saving, stackable, lazy-susan friendly and really suits the O.C.D. personality in anybody! A must have!!!

WHEN WE PLANNED OUR KITCHEN SEVERAL YEARS AGO, ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS EXCITED ABOUT WERE THE TWO DRAWERS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER MY COOKTOP WHICH WOULD HOUSE MY SPICES. I WAS CERTAIN HAVING MY SPICES ON THEIR "BACKS" WOULD BE HELPFUL AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN...IF ONLY THE CONTAINERS WEREN'T ROUND. MY NEW SPICECARE CONTAINERS WORK PERFECTLY AND DON'T ROLL AROUND! I ALSO LIKE HOW I CAN GROUP LIKE SPICES TOGETHER. YOU MAY BE LIKE ME AND END UP NEEDING 1 AND A 1/2 SETS TO GET THE JOB DONE THOUGH! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOUR PRODUCT! PS-SANTA IS PUTTING A FEW OF THESE UNDER THE TREE FOR SOME OF THE COOKS IN MY FAMILY THIS YEAR :)

My spice care system makes my cooking world a much more enjoyable and efficient experience. Typically, after the holidays I would go through all my herbs and spices and toss them out for "fresh" replacements. This year, after filling my new spice containers in early fall, I couldn't believe how fresh the spices/herbs still were. The colors were bright and the aromas still as fresh as the day I bought them. I love how everything is easy to find, categorized as suggested by the TableFare folks, and labeled clearly. I actually think having this system with the freshness factor and convenience of finding the spices/herbs with a quick turn of the lazy susan I store them on has resulted in more time in the kitchen. I have discovered new spices I never used before thanks to some of the pre-printed labels included in my system. As a person who thrives on organization, this system is a dream come true and I open my cupboard to show it off to all my kitchen guests. I also love the sleek modern look of the containers which are a cinch to wipe clean. I think this product would make a great gift for a new bride...or even an old one, like me!

Every year I like to buy one top-of-the-line piece for my kitchen. I read some reviews, do some research, and then buy the item--or put it on my birthday wish list. One year it was a set of measuring cups with no seam lines, just a solid piece of molded stainless steel that won't bend; another year it was a poached egg pan that is as beautiful as it is functional. Last year I received the SpiceCare System as a gift and it meets all my requirements for my "kitchen piece of the year" that will gradually turn my kitchen into a great place to create food. Like the other pieces I've been adding each year, the designers of SpiceCare obviously put plenty of thought and work into the product. Yes, the containers will keep your spices fresh, but in addition, the entire system of labeling, stacking, leveling, shaking, and so on, is designed with meticulous forethought you rarely see today. They're great looking, too. And, I hadn't realized how much I would enjoy the SpiceCare web site--great videos to help set up the containers and interesting and useful info. on spices that is updated frequently. This was a excellent addition to my annual kitchen buy.

Every problem that you've ever had trying to store your spices - solved! So much thought must have gone into the design of these. My spices used to be in a mix of various containers that didn't stack well and plastic bags thrown together in a box. It was a pain to find what I was looking for and to know what spices I had and needed. This system makes it so easy organize your spices and keep an eye on what you have and what you need. The shape of the container is space-saving but easily fits my widest measuring spoon. The measuring spoon leveler attached to the lid is one of the best features. The fact that they easily snap together means I'm not knocking over my spice containers as I'm looking for the one I want. Overall - awesome!

The thing that I most appreciate about the SpiceCare System is the efficient form factor of the modules, either individually or stacked. It's clear that a lot of careful thought went into designing these. Thanks to their triangular shape, a stacked set fits equally well standing in a cabinet, lying flat in a drawer, or ringed around a lazy susan. I also like that they're attachable in any configuration, which lets me keep spices arranged by type (ie, all peppers in a stack) or by common recipes (all my Indian spices together).

Prior to investing in this system, I had a messy spice cabinet overflowing with disorganized glass bottles, canisters and plastic baggies. Now I've got a tidy, efficient spice cabinet, where I can find everything at a glance.

The SpiceCare System is just that---a well thought out system for organizing your spices and assuring they are fresh (taking *care* of them). The web site is awesome and has all kinds of ideas and strategies for utilizing your spices and being the best cook you can be!
