Bellissimo e utilissimo. sempre avuto il problema di avere tante spezie mischiate. Adesso tutto in ordine e a portata di mano.
I am in love! This solves our spice mess problem. It squeeks when rotated but we should sort that out ourselves. The only suggested improvement would be to allow for additional layer of empty jars to be bought and stacked, or to sell the rack with more empty containers. Ultimately, everyone uses different spices and while these work for us, we would prefer more than 2 empty containers. Spices included are: Curry Powder, Mustard Seed, Mint, Marjoram, Fennel Seed, Dill, Cumin Seed, Ground Cinnamon, Thyme, Oregano, Parsley, Basil, Ground Paprika, Rosemary, Ground Turmeric, Sage, Chilli Flakes, Coriander Leaf.
Brilliant product, ready to go, wanted a nice looking herb carousel, found this one already stocked with every herb I wanted and more.
Just love it, so happy.
Very good spice rack. Keeps your herbs and spices together. Making it easy when cooking. The only negative was the price but compact and handy
Sehr umfangreich, aber leider sind manche Gewrze dabei, die ich gar nicht brauche und Salz und Pfeffer fehlen.
Nice way to provide spice and herbs . clean containers. easy to use.
Das Karussell ist ein Weihnachtsgeschenk fr meinen Bruder gewesen und er war begeistert ber die gute Verarbeitung und das Design des Karussell.
Fantastico! Elegante, pratico, funzionale e di qualit. Barattoli in vetro con spezie all’interno. Le scritte sono in inglese. Adatto per tutti i tipi di spezie ( in polvere e non). Arrivato tutto integro e nei tempi.Ottimo anche come regalo. Lo consiglio!
Optisch und funktionell ein tolles Karussell mit zahlreichen Gewrzen. Endlich eine kompakte Lsung fr unseren Hngeschrank.
Joli Carroussel epices conforme l’attendu. Sobre et moderne la fois. J’aurais juste apprci d’avoir mes propres tiquettes pour choisir mes pices lorsque les pots seront vides. Je recommande
Daughter loved it – great design and so many choices of herbs/spices
Ein sehr hochwertiges Kchenuntensil, dass ich nicht mehr missen mchte.
Optik und Handhabung sind nicht zu bertreffen – Toll!
Ein sehr schner Gewrzstnder , leider verwende ich nicht alle Gewrze und musste etwas austauschen, sonst wrde ich es wieder kaufe
Great spice rack plenty spices too choose from recommended product very happy
Somehow we missed the detail that it comes already filled with the herbs which was a nice surprise. The product itself has a really beautiful design and looks great on the countertop. Love i
Amazing , why haven’t I had one of these for the last 30 years.
Well made great value for for money would suit any kitche
This is just what l was looking for.I keep it on the kitchen counter.It looks stylish and is easy to use .xxx
Bought as a gift for my mum, she loves it. I love how its got little labels for each of them and it looks super high quality
Trs beau rendu, offert en cadeau et la personne tait ravie.
Les pices fournies ne semblent pas tre de trs grande qualit mais cela ne me pose aucun problme car je ne m’attendais pas ce que les pots soient pleins et je disposais dj de mes propres pices.
The item is for a Christmas present so I hope they like as I do
Love it. Very elegant and all the herbs and spices I need plus two empty ones for me to fill up with the herbs of my choice.
Su diseo me cautiv cuando lo vi en la web, pero al recibirlo fue mayor an.
Elegante, rueda muy bien, los especieros cuelgan sin problemas en el soporte y adems ya trae las especias.
As que si le descuentas cada bote, al final tiene un precio buensimo.
Loved the product.
Did not like the way the item was sent.
There was no wrapping to prevent the box from getting marked or damaged. Also all the packing labels were stuck to it.
Real shame as this was bought as a Christmas present.
This item is attractive as well as functional, so it does not necessarily have to sit in the kitchen, if space is limited.
Although the jars are fully stocked and sealed there is no way of knowing what their shelf life is. This may not be a big problem but herbs do degrade over very long periods.
It look like it’s well built . Good value for the money
Il prodotto oltre ad avere un bellissimo design funzionale in quanto le boccette si staccano lateralmente, 16 spezie gi presenti.
L’avevo visto in negozio e costava 90
Qua l’ho trovato a molto meno, Amazon non delude mai!
I really recommend this! Looks very nice and high quality.
It’s a lovely set but it said came with extra labels to set up blank jars ..it didn’t….it arrived with French and German labels ….3 of the jars were a third full …not a settling issue think it’s a factory issue …as other heavier herbs were full
Very good service and my grandson love it it was housewarming pleasa
I have been looking around for a new spice rack and with this special offer, I decided to go for this one. It was only slightly more expensive than empty spice racks (unbranded and with mixed reviews) seen on Amazon.
I received it today and well impressed. The design is super sleek, it looks sturdy and it is already filled with herbs and spices.
We have not used it yet so cannot comment on the spices but just the look of it brings me joy.
It’s very classy looking, sturdy and does the job. We liked it that much we bought another for a family members anniversary.
Attractive spice holder for the kitchen, swivel function handy. Improvements – the silver looks slightly tarnished after a while, could be more compact to save on space, more sweet spices could have been included.
I have bought this for myself and as present for my family! Absolutely gorgeous set of spices in a good quality spice rack! You get few empty bottles to fill in also! Cant really grumble! It looks beautiful on the counter in the kitchen too! Compare to others- price wise and the quality wise would definitely recommend! Happy customer x
I bought this for my husband for his birthday and absolutely loves it! It’s bigger than I thought it would be, but I like that it gives you two empty ones so you can put what you like in. It looks really expensive and we’ve had lots of compliments.
Love love love this spice rack, so stylish, modern and practical, great quality and filled with spices, I was lucky enough to get it on offer, otherwise a little expensive.
Great design, works well, fits neatly on kitchen work surface, easy to see what you need, our cook loves i
i liked that it came already filled with a good variety of spices.
It’s well made and spins freely.
Only minor negative is that, if placed on a work surface, the jars hang at an angle making it impossible to read the labels for an average height person.
Die Qualitt der Verarbeitung hat mich berzeugt und die Gewrz Vielfalt.
Achat pour un cadeau qui a vraiment fait son effet
Carrousel pices super pratique trs fonctionnel ne prend pas de place sur une table
Les 8 flacons taient tous remplis de condiments
Seul petit bmol le prix
Das Karussell steht im Kchenschrank: ich habe einen super berblick ber/ und super Zugriff auf meine Gewrze.
Bei Bedarf knnte ich das ganze Karussell rausnehmen und auf den Tisch stellen-es sieht ja auch noch sehr schn aus! Ich fragte mich nur was ich tte, wenn mir mal ein Glas kaputtgehen sollte…? Das wird sich dann zeigen. Auf alle Flle sind sie haltbar- den ersten Runterwurf haben zwei unbeschadet berlebt…
Es wurden auch blanko Ersatzaufkleber mitgeliefert, falls das Bedrfnis nach dem Austausch eines Gewrzes besteht. Der Normalpreis wre mir fr einen Internetkauf zu hoch gewesen. Ich habe “nur” knapp 50 bezahlt – dafr hatte ich es riskiert. Beim Aufdrehen des Deckels, um die Schttlcher freizulegen, ffnet sich manchmal der ganze Deckel mit. Das sehe ich aber nur als Zeichen dafr, dass alles sehr dicht schliet und wenn man das wei kann man das Gewrz so halten, dass der ganze Deckel beim Aufdrehen gesichert bleibt. Also wenn die Mae passen, wie bei meinem Kchenschrank, ist dieses Karussell einzigartig und seinen/meinen Preis absolut wert!!!
Ottimo prodotto, arrivato puntualissimo, confezionato come ti aspetti da un prodotto di fascia medio alta. Ottimi materiali, ogni dosatore contiene le spezie riportate sullo stesso (in inglese). Ottimo acquisto. Consigliato
Praktisch, stabil, schick. Allerdings auch teuer und die Schrift blttert auch ab. Habe jetzt selber auf dem Deckel beschriftet, weil es dort mehr Sinn macht. Ich mchte aber jetzt schon nicht mehr auf das Karussel verzichten.
i love it! All my friends want one as soon as they see it. Love the little labels you get with it, easy to change spices to something else when they run out.
Looks fantastic in the kitchen, really nice selection supplied. I hope it will remain a feature in my kitchen for many years
Excellent, Sturdy, good looking and quality product. Smooth working wheel.
Les tiquettes pour mettre le nom des pices en franais ce dcolle.
Je doute beaucoup de la qualit des pices, mais je n’ai pas achet ce produit pour a.
Finition de qualit, support stable.
Really nice looking, Good variation of herbs and spices and you can add your own herbs & spices there are two empty shakers!
excellent quality of materials used. You can tell the quality
This is perfect. It looks nice and has a wide variety of spices. Only problem was that some of the jars were half filled rather than full. Also I’ve never heard of a few of the spices. All in all it’s a great produc
Ideal for anyone who wants a smaller revolving spice rack
This item looks amazing in my kitchen and can’t wait to start using all the lovely herbs and spices.
So my old one was looking pretty grubby so chose this one as I cook a lot and need more tha. Your standard number. So it looks great in the kitchen and swivels so smoothly
Bad points are the herb and spice choice was a bit weird with some ones you’d expect not there and as only 2 spare will have to repurpose
Other bad point is I’m not keen how they twist open, if you don’t hold in a specific way the whole lid keeps coming off instead
It is a really beautiful product and a nice size. Spices and herbs look as if good quality. Price was good considering I was monitoring it on the John Lewis website for some time. A few of my jars arrived damaged but doesn’t affect functionality. Can’t wait to use it!
I received 2 jars of marjoram and no turmeric (according to the spices listed on the box).
Also, the mechanism to open the spice jar is not the best, trying to slide it to one side unscrews the entire cap if you’re not careful.
Otherwise, it is really nice spice carousel.
Item looks nice but, arrived in original box with no outer packaging and was not sealed. Was also damaged and two jars could not be placed on the unit. We decided to repair rather than send back.
Lovely set of herbs and spices. Have used a fair few of them. It’s got me cooking more. They are easy to use and I like that you get 2 spare jars to put in what you’d like.
Looks great, had lots of compliments only problem is that the spice selection is poor and the name of each spice is on the bottles and can’t be removed so you have to stick with those spices. I’d rather of had onion powder, garlic granules etc
Love it but Not packed properly, bottom layer loose and one jar contents all in the box
Overall it looks good in the kitchen and you’ve got all your spices to hand. 2 jars empty so you can put your own spices in. I’ve got 3 empty as one jar with mustard seeds were all in box but I don’t like them anyway
Ein Schmuckstck in meiner Kche. Ist praktisch, qualitativ verarbeitet und sieht sehr gut aus. Das Verschieben vom Verschluss der Gewrzstreuer ist allerdings nicht immer leicht. Das ist aber wirklich ein minimaler Minuspunkt, sozusagen Meckern auf einem hohen Niveau. Rundum zufrieden!
To be more deserving to the product I will say that it’s good, and there are a good range of herbs and spices. It also has sophistication that it rotates. My issue is the state of the packaging and level of care. When opening the boxs I found all the spices from the bottom row at the bottom of the box. The plastic covering was broken. It wasn’t even in tacked. Lucky that none was damage. Personally I think its overpriced.
When I rotate to lid to have different options the lid comes off
Carrousel de belle facture. Trs beau, fonctionnel, solide. Livr avec les flacons remplis des pices mentionnes. Un peu cher, mais c’est Cole & Mason, il devrait durer des annes. La qualit se paye sans regret et long terme on s’y retrouve. J’ai galement pris l’entonnoir de la mme marque pour recharger les flacons. Je recommande vraiment ceux qui recherche qualit et matriaux durables.
This is a really nice piece of kit. I bought it as a Christmas present, and it was really well received. It looks so good, you can leave it out on the worksurfaces. It’s very sturdy indeed. A really nice purchase.
Le seul inconvnient est qu’il faut se mettre niveau pour lire les tiquettes, sinon il tourne bien, les flacons s’accrochent facilement et sont faciles d’utilisation.
Habe mich von den Rezensionen und von den Bildern leiten lassen und wurde nicht enttuscht. Fr mich die Beste Variante viele Gewrze auf kleinsten Raum unterzubringen.
Sieht absolut toll aus super Haptik und unkompliziertes nachfllen.
Leider sind die Beschriftungen auf englisch und nicht wie angepriesen auf deutsch.
Einige Blanco Etiketten liegen bei, so dass ich einige Etiketten berkleben konnte, was dann allerdings nicht mehr so schick aussieht.
Resmee: tolles Produkt fr nicht gerade wenig Geld, dennoch klare Kaufempfehlung.
Very solid and eye catching,all individual spice pots are foil sealed ,def worth the price
Looks amazing on our kitchen worktop. Glad we paid a little more money for this one as the quality is second to none. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
This was bought as a present, and the recipient was very pleased with it. It now has pride of place on the kitchen worktop.
Le produit est super joli et donne du style la cuisine sans compter l’aspect pratique. La base tournante est trs pratique , il reste plus qu’ se servir !
Je n’ai pas encore test la qualit des pices , car oui on reoit le produit avec des pices et uniquement 3 flacons pour remplir selon votre got.
Le plus de ce produit par rapport aux autres c’est le couvercle des pots, ce n’est pas du plastique.
Neat carousel, looks good in the kitchen. Each container came sealed and the container lid has 3 positions. 2 for dispensing the contents and one for closed. The range of herbs and spices is good and the set includes labels to allow you to change the contents if you wish.
Perfect for any Kitchen comes with a few empty Jars for your own choice of spices
The headline of this review says it all, to be honest. Perhaps the pots could be slightly bigger? Other than that it’s really good.
Actually, this thing looks great sitting on my counter top. It’s sturdy and doesn’t take up a lot of space. But it’s fantastic to have all the spices right there. I totally recommend this product.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Looks good and great quality
Looks great in the kitchen. My only complaint is similar to many others, why can the spice jars not get filled up completely. some of mine came half full – it’s not like thyme is expensive! seems like a quality control issue that is very simple to solve
Cannot really comment on durability as only had item a short while. It does appear good quality though. Wife was browsing spice racks and as soon as she saw this item, it was “the one”. I actually thought it was a bit overpriced, but I am not brave enough to argue. It arrived the next day and now sits in the corner of the kitchen and I admit it looks quite smart and well made. Wife has even used it. I have no idea if the combination of spices is useful but the last spaghetti and meatballs i ate nearly blew my head off. Anyway, if the wife likes it, it gets 5 stars!
Looks great, very easy to use, smooth rotation. Overall a very good product. Cole and Mason keeping there good name
Good quality and brings a lot a spicies to cook with.
Il prodotto bello e mi sembra valido….buoni i materiali ,compatto ed esteticamente fa un bel effetto .Metto 4 stelle e non 5 perch il pacco arrivato aperto con un barattolo aperto e timo rubato (senza parole!) ….
Ma non lo rendo perch fortunatamente il prodotto non presenta danni ,fortunatamente solo una spezia in meno All interno di un barattolo.
Loved being able to keep all herbs and spices in one place. Looks great on the worktop
A great-looking premium product that would look right at home in any kitchen, this Cole & Mason spice rack offers great functionality without taking up a lot of space. The rotating circular design makes it easy to find exactly what spice you need in next to no time – perfect for those last-minute additions when everything is kicking off in the kitchen! The quality of the product is also in keeping with what you would expect from a brand like Cole & Mason: high-quality materials make the product as robust as it is attractive.
This is a nice revolving spice rack, which rotates smoothly. The only downside is the spices they come with aren’t as fresh as I’d expect. They don’t have much flavour in and the turmeric for example is too bitter. Also some of the lids are a bit stiff. Slightly overpriced for 75 but time will tell how long they last and for now they look great in the kitchen!
A very nice attractive looking high end spice carousel. It comes ready to go, no assemble required here. The carousel turns very smoothly and the spices are in very attractive sturdy containers with metal screw lids. The only one I’d really change would be parsley and there are blank labels supplied for this purpose.
It does take up a bit of room so a kitchen with plenty of counter space is recommended and I do find wall shelf attachments more practical for storing spices but this is a very nice thing to have in addition.
As one would expect from Cole and Mason, this 8-jar Herb and Spice carousel is a well-manufactured product from high quality materials. Costing just under 40 from Amazon, I would rate this as being good value for money, as from my experience with other Cole and Mason products they are built to last and possess a style that tends not to date.
The carousel looks stylish on the kitchen worktop and rotates smoothly when required with the base being sufficiently weighted so it stays in place. The high-quality stainless steel jar tops have inserts that allows one to pour or sprinkle the contents of the pleasantly chunky glass jars. The carousel is supplied with 8 widely-used herbs and spices with the name printed on each jar.
Being presented in a good-quality box add to the suitability of the carousel as a gift – of course, if one could bear to part with it!
This looks like the pictures on-site and is solidly built. The jars have plenty of capacity. My only concerns are that the labels on the jars seem to be permanent which doesn’t give you much flexibility, and the rotation is not as smooth as it could be. It’s pretty smooth but has a bit of a rattle to it.
Also, be aware that it does take up a fair amount of space for the number of containers it holds. I’m not sure having a rotating spice rack adds any value compared to a more compact shelf or container system, but it’s a nice touch.
I’m very imressed with this stylish & very well designed product. While it takes up more space in my tiny kitchen than my previous one – a boring old metal rack – this one wins hands-down in terms of elegance & functionality.
Each part of it feels like it has been constructed with quality materials. When I first read on Amazon’s description that the jars slot onto the carousel, I had visions of small plastic teeth which could snap off easily – but this is not the case. the entire unit has a thick, quality feel & seems unlikely to damage or scratch easily. I particularly like the way that the carosel is completely stable, even when jars are removed. Also, each jar has a choice of how to dispense its contents. Twist the top one way & a large hole appears; twist it the other & three smaller holes appear.
This is a very attractive, quality item which looks good & works well. There are cheaper spice racks out there but I’m yet to see one so elegant.
It’s almost five years that we’ve been using our first Cole & Mason products which were a set of salt and pepper mills. They still work perfectly and look as good as they did on the day we had them, suggesting high quality and design. This herb & spice carousel seems to be just as good, offering an attractive and practical way to store and use these items. It certainly looks great in the kitchen, and has attracted a number of positive comments from visitors. Ours is the 8-jar version, but given the choice would have chosen one of the larger models as we tend to use lots of herbs and spices. It’s pleasing to see that the jars seal properly whilst still being easy to open, and the rotating action of the carousel is reassuringly smooth. Good quality may cost a bit more, but from experience of this brand it is worth it.
The rotary dispenser comes well packed with the sealed containers clearly marked with a choice of two dispenser speeds (one large hole or three small holes).
If I received this as a gift I would be very happy except for the parsley container which looks odd being only half full 🙁
The box does say the weights of each herb are different but it really spoils the out of box appearance (all the herb containers ship sealed).
The rotary dispenser is easy to use and requires a work surface area diameter of 9″ / 23cm in order to freely rotate.
First thing that stands out about this spice rack is the price, it is very expensive and normally I wouldn’t even look twice as a result.
That said I have several items from Cole & Mason and have always been impressed by them and this is no exception.
On opening the box I was expecting quite a bit of assembly but was surprised that it comes pretty much fully assembled. The whole thing looks and feels very well made and just on lifting it up and feeling how solid and rigid it is you can see why the price tag is at the premium end.
Once loaded the carousel feels very stable and even if you take all the jars off on one side it doesn’t feel like it’s going to tip or overbalance and still rotates very smoothly.
The jars themselves also show the though that has gone into the design. Each one is sealed and the lid rotates to allow pouring or shaking depending on what you need. They also come with several pre printed labels with the most common herbs on them and some blank ones.
Really the only grumble I can even think of is the price but even that is not an issue. The jars themselves come pre filled with the 8 herbs that are on the ready printed labels so if you were to buy 8 pots of herbs at your local supermarket you would be paying a 1/4 of the price for those alone.
A full 5 stars from me.
This is a really stylish rotating spice rack. I’ve used the one with 16 jars which is still going strong however the only issue was that the names of the spices were on top of the jars which meant you couldn’t tell easily what the spices at the bottom where. Even though this is just a small rack with 8 spices, it’s good to see that they’ve moved the names to the side of the jars which makes it a lot easier to tell what’s what. All jars as usual are filled with spices. The jars have 3 settings, closed, sprinkle and pour. The jars are made out of glass.
As expected from Cole & Mason, this is a beautifully designed product that not only looks fantastic, but works well too. Our well used kitchen spice draw slides out to reveal what looks like a war zone – this was an opportunity to restore some order at the cost of a small amount of counter space! The carousel works flawlessly – smooth spinning action and the jars are easy to refill. The fact that you can choose the amount that is dispensed is a really clever touch.
There’s not much in the way of downsides – it’s not cheap, but if my cole & mason salt and pepper mills are anything to go by, this is well made and will last. The names of the spices are written on the jars, so if you want to use them for something different, you’ll have the slight irritation of having a wrongly labelled spice jar. That said, the eight herbs and spices in the set are so commonly used, you’d probably struggle to do without them.
Overall, a well made, well designed kitchen addition.
The Cole & Mason carousel rotates and holds 8 glass jars of assorted herbs and spices and has spare labels should you wish to replace the herb/spice initially supplied with another variety. The jars are the usual excellent quality from Cole & Mason and have stainless steel lids with pour, sprinkle or closed settings. A beautiful and useful set for culinary enthusiasts, I am delighted with this addition to my kitchen 5*
A lovely little rack which fits nicely inside my pantry shelf. The herbs are usual and reasonable quality and the rack is sturdy and turns as it should.
This would make a lovely gift to a starter cook or a student leaving home.
My only gripe is that the labelled jars were tiny and difficult to see.
Exactly as currently pictured in the stock images above, this is a neat set that would make a lovely gift, IMO.
The 8 herb & spice names are marked in little WHITE lettering on BLACK and are all ones I use so I will not be needing the sheet of blank labels thoughtfully supplied with it.
The 8 supplied are as on the box, namely:
~ BASIL
~ OREGANO
~ PARSLEY
~ ROSEMARY
~ SAGE
~ THYME
~ GROUND PAPRIKA
~ GROUND TURMERIC
Country of origin for all is China. Actual weight of contents vary due to settling*.
COLE & MASON
HERB & SPICE CAROUSEL
8 JAR (one level)
PRODUCT REF : H121807
MATERIAL/COLOUR : CLEAR GLASS with RIGID BLACK PLASTIC-TYPE & BRUSHED CHROME TRIM
‘Made in China’
‘Best before end of March 2020’ is on the base of my box.
ooOoo
Already assembled, the carousel with 8 glass jars comes in a colourful shiny cardboard presentation box measuring around 21 cm square x 14 cm deep. It is simply but sturdily packed inside with a layer of crisp cellophane-type material keeping it altogether. Relatively heavy in hand, it is easily removed from the box by way of the centre handle.
It sits sturdy on my countertop but could, arguably, benefit from a lightly rubberised grip if on a very shiny surface, IMO.
The carousel stands around 13.5 cm tall on a base diameter of around 13.25 cm. With the jars all in situ, it needs around 22 cm clearance to rotate freely, in my experience, and is a smooth operator in this respect.
The jars each have a slot to hook onto the carousel and all sit safely at a slight angle. They easily lift off without affecting the balance of the carousel.
Each spice jar is foil sealed under the lid, which unscrews easily.
The chunky clear glass jars stand around 8.5 cm tall with the lid in situ. ‘COLE & MASON’ is embossed on the base. The chunky, CHROME lid has a BLACK band around 0.5 cm wide with the spice or herb name in WHITE lettering on one side & a BLACK coloured indentation on the top for the contents to be dispensed. It handily has a choice of a 1 cm ‘POUR’ or a 3-hole ‘SPRINKLE’ depending on the way you twist the chrome part, or ‘CLOSED’ in the centre position.
Alternatively, the necks are around 3 cm diameter, to insert e.g. a small spoon, if required.
The jars split for easy cleaning, but the product is not dishwasher safe as far as I can see from the details provided on the box. The chrome areas wipe clean easily with a soft cloth, in my experience, especially the inevitable finger prints on the chrome handle top.
ooOoo
*MANUFACTURER DETAIL:
‘The jars are filled with herbs and spices by weight. Due to variation in crop and seed sizes, the tolerances in the shredding and grinding processes, and settling during transportation, the contents may not completely fill the jars.’

Loving this! It looks so cool in my kitchen and it spins round easily. There are 8 containers, already pre-filled with herbs and spices. The only one I won’t use is turmeric, all the others are things I use regularly. The containers are easy to take off the carousel, and to put back on. Turn the lid to open it and sprinkle out. I lov it! It doesn’t take up a lot of space either so it is living on my worktop.
I have an old version of the spice carousel. Whilst I am very pleased with it I am also happy with the improvements on this updated version. The biggest one is that the names of the spices are written on the sides of the jar rather than the top. As I keep my spices on a shelf this is a huge improvement. There is a sheet of sticky labels included if you want to use different spices. Obviously some people might feel that this spoils the look of the jars. The carousel has a Lazy Susan base and it spins around very smoothly. This is a very solid and reasonably heavy product. The jars are tightly sealed and are very practical to use.
Cole and Mason are a tried and trusted brand who have been around for almost a century. In this set you get the following herbs and spices in jars that come clearly marked.
Basil, Oregano, Parsley, Thyme, Sage, Rosemary, ground Paprika and ground Turmeric.
Each jar is easy to lift off the carousel and the lids twist open to either sprinkle or pour the desired amount. Jars are sealed for freshness and in my set they are marked as best before end of March 2020. There are a set of peel off labels you can use if desired.
Taking into consideration how much it would cost to buy these individually makes the set appear to be very well priced. We are in the process of updating our kitchen and have been looking at various designs , I can’t think of one that would not benefit from a set like this. It only takes up a footprint of a smaller sized dinner plate and I think it’s better to have them in a set like this to save going back and forth between a spice rack. If buying for a housewarming or wedding gift the set comes well presented in a sturdy box. My one niggle would be how the bottom of the carousel feels and sounds a bit on the flimsy side, it does revolve really well and perhaps that’s why it is made from lightweight plastic.
All in all I believe it’s a good quality set and I look forward to using all the jars in the coming weeks.
THis 8 jar rack comes with rosemary, basil, oregano, ground paprika, parsley, ground turmeric sage, thyme.
they are labelled on the jars and this comes with some stickers that you can use to over stick if you choose to empty them out and use other things. it spins around with a smooth movement. each pot with a hook to place it on the stand – so you will not be putting your own or shop purchased ones on the revolver.
each lid can twist off completely to get a small spoon inside (all the spices are sealed btw) or you can hold onto the black labelled part and twist the top for a smaller pouring hole (little finger sized, not a sprinkler). This latter movement is stiffer and takes a little more work. It is very smart and very well presented. i do think it is a shame that the spice names are printed as changing them messes up the look (I like cayen pepper for example). This can be used for any herbs and spices that will fit in the jars.
I wanted a spice rack that not only looked great but also had secure, air tight lids as I bought one (much cheaper) previously and it spilled spices and made a mess in my kitchen. However even though I think the price tag could be lower, you honestly are getting great quality for what you’re buying. It looks sleek, does the job and doesn’t take up too much space on my countertop. I love it! Also it comes with two empty jars to fill with spices of your choice.
