Would this work well to hold dry spices, or would humidity get in? Also - do they stack well with the lid on? How high could I stack them?

You can store anything in them, they have a good seal. I use them for leftovers and store spices in a smaller carosel, but it may work for large quantities. These hold approx. 1.5 cups+ and they stack well. You can also see what you have on the shelf or fridge. Sheera

I think they would work for bulk spices. The lids are good, but over time may stretch a bit. I wouldn't stack more than three. The glass is very lightweight and the lids are also. It sounds like you may prefer small canning jars, expecially the ones with bellies instead of straight sides. We use these Libbey bowls as prep bowls and for leftovers.

I do not use them for spices but don't see why you could not. I use them daily for left overs like canned peaches, olives and such.and they stack very well with the lids on in the closet stored empty or the Frig. I might be purchasing more in the near future as I am getting rid of plasticcontainers that are not suppose to be so good for health purposes.

Works perfect. I store dried rubbed sage in one of mine. You can stack them as high as you, or, as in my case, your cat, will let you!

I think they would work well to store dry spices and they do stack well with the lids on. But i don't think I would stack more than2 or 3 or else it gets wobbly.

We use them to store blended spices and I would say staking 3-4 wouldn't get wobbly. The picture doesn't clearly show which size you are questioning - we use the tiny ones for dry items and the larger ones for homemade mayo and salad dressings. The lids hold up well and I like some things stored in glass rather than plastic, which we use for leftovers that will be used soon.

I think it would work! There's enough room in there for a quart jar, so I'd take your 1/2 pts - stack them on top of each other and see how that compares to the height of a quart jar. I'd suggest using some sort of "spacer" between the jars - just seems like a good idea. And I would not worry about the temperature - everything in the canner will be the same temp - one it starts to steam and the gauge says you are ready!

This probably isn't what you're looking for. I don't think the slots are wide enough for lids other than canning lids. Maybe one of the coated shelving stackable units you can buy in kitchen sections of department stores would meet your needs?

It holds quite a bit, it's really designed for things like powdered sugar, cinnamon, and such. I'm using it to replace the Mrs. Dash container since I remodeled my kitchen, it easily holds the contents of two regular size spice containers.

These are very good a storing dry goods. Since the lids are watertight they hold in the product's freshness very well. As will any dry goods though, make sure that you eliminate as much oxygen as possible. Adding oxygen absorbers and/or flushing the container with nitrogen is recommended.

I think this would work well. I'm very happy with these tiered shelves. They are sturdy and compact and don't take up too much space. I use them for spices, but essential oils would work. Each shelf holds 5 regular sized spice bottles, just to give you an idea size wise.

Hi - I have a mix of plastic and glass spice jars, but I think it would be just fine with all glass. I have several heavier, glass spice jars and they hold up. The outside frame is metal and the shelves are a sturdy plastic.

Hi Anna, yes they are stackable. I don't know about the product quality from this vendor as I've never purchased from them. Spices should stay fresh for approx. 3 months. I actually sell these myself locally in the Bay Area and via Etsy with and without spices if you'd like to buy from me. You can visit my Currysutra shop on etsy, my website at Currysutra.com and email me at request@currysutra.com for more info. Mine are stackable and dishwasher safe. Thanks for reaching out!

Mr. Zeigler, I use these small pint-size jars for a great many things in my kitchen cabinets (spices and and in my refrigerator to store small amounts of left overs. I have not stacked these at all because I am fearful the top jar would topple.

I've had this product for some time now, and am very pleased with it. The base is solid, it is plastic but I have never had any issues with it, such as cracking, or tipping over, or anything of the sort. The spices are held in place firmly in their slots. This was a concern for me originally when I purchased this spice rack, I was afraid that when I turned it the jar might fall out. I can assure you that I have made good use of this spice rack, and have never once had any of the spices fall out of their slots. Hope I've answered your question!

The frames on my units have a fair amount of 'flex' in them. They work very well on a shelf, but I'm not sure they would hold up if you tried to hang them. You might consider mounting a wall shelf under your cabinets and putting the spice racks on the wall shelf. It wouldn't have to be very heavy since the racks and spices are so light.

Each opening in the drawer holds 1 full size bottle of spices, or 2 smaller size...you cannot stack them vertically...the drawer is only deep enought for 1 bottle.

Hi Barbara I tried to send you a picture thru this link but could not. If you want to see a picture of my stack email me at donnameece@aol.com. But the lids are pretty sturdy. If your boxes will be completely full you will have no problem stacking them as long as they are against something sturdy like wall or back of cabinet. Enjoy!

These racks are 8" wide (by 15 1/4" long), so only one would fit vertically, perhaps two if the 15" length is accurate and your drawer is a bit more that 15"; depending on the depth of your drawer, you might be able to fit in two (2 - 8" wide x 15 1/4" long). They will hold 4 long spice bottles in each tier, so 12 altogether, double that for the short spice bottles. I hope this helps. The Amazon description says 8 x 15, each holding 12 (or 24) bottles. Good luck. They have been a "god-send", eliminating double or triple layers of bottles. We are using 3 side by side with room at the top and edge of the drawer for spice envelopes, shakers, salts, etc. These racks are 8" wide (by 15 1/4" long), so only one would fit vertically, perhaps two if the 15" length is accurate and your drawer is a bit more that 15"; depending on the depth of your drawer, you might be able to fit in two (2 - 8" wide x 15 1/4" long).

I use mine for nail polish and I have the bottles kind of staggered. It's room enough for normal size spices not the extra large sizes.

I suppose you could, but if they are in plastic, the container might melt. The Best way to store spices would be in a jar that seals well and does not get exposed to light. If you are in a very humid climate, then a short stay less and two hours in an open jar in the brisker might help keep them dry.

The bottom shelf has plenty of room for spice jars. I have both kind of McCormick jars on my lower shelf...the one with red plastic cap, and the fancier McCormick gourmet bottles. There is about an inch to spare above them.
