How much can each spice container hold? Will the spice tins rust due to corrosion after few months?

I have been using this for 6 months, no rust or corrosion. Very useful. Holds about a cup of spice powder. I have : salt, paprika, turmeric, cumin, garam masala and sesame seeds.

Each cup holds about 1/2 cup. As the Masala Dabba is stainless steel it should not corrode.

Each container will hold up to one-half cup totally filled. They are reasonably large. I do not believe they will corrode; they appear to be nice quality metal...I don't think stainless for the price but polished aluminum. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, which is very very good for the price. I highly recommend them. The little spoons are approximately 1/2 tsp size.

It looks as thought the spice containers hold about 3/4 cup of spices each. I have not experienced any rust or corrosion. Good luck!

about 3/4 of a cup, comfortably. So far no rust or corrosion. I like it, nice piece

I'd say just from eyeballing it (don't want to dump my spices out), each container will probably hold around half a cup--they are not tiny. And corrosion should not be a problem with the stainless steel. I haven't had this piece for more than a few months, but it is still bright and shiny; and I have other pieces of comparable Indian stainless steel that have been through the dishwasher for years and still look great, no rust, no corrosion, just great. I love Indian stainless steel dishes!

I can't really say for sure. I used mine for fingernail polish, but the rack could probably hold at least 20 grocery size spices.

Going to depend on weight of the spice jar & how often it's used. To be safe, I'd say no. Maybe just buy & test out with something heavy, and twisting jar on & off 50x to see how it holds up.

I have had my two racks for a little over 3 months. As of the date of this response no rust has appeared.

they are 500ml (16 Oz) each jar. I use them for counter top containers for spices and seasonings. They work and look great.

I would say the image is pretty accurate but depends on what size spice jars you are storing. I used this for about 6 months and then replaced this unit as the plastic arms that hold the spice jars stretch out and your spice jars wind up falling out. Seems like a good idea until you put it to use.

Stainless shouldn't rust, I've had mine about a month, and I am really happy I bought them.

I have had mine for about 5 months. I have not had a rust problem and I live about 2 miles from the ocean in Northern Calif. So far this has been my favorite feeder due to the squirrel problems. I wish I had a solution for you.

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.

I'm not sure that "Jan" is leaving you a correct answer Heidi. This spice holder will not hold square jars. The "arms" that grasp the spice container are a half circle. I have round glass Penzey spice jars & those are too heavy for this rack. The only spice containers this will hold are round plastic ones.

I have two 3 shelf units, one with 26 standard spice containers and the other with a mix of sizes with 18 containers of spices, sauces and marinades. It really depends on the unit you purchase and the size of your containers. I have seen a lot of these racks and this one is well made and holds a lot of stuff.

So far had it for 3 months and no rust. I use it on my counter next to the sink to hold hand soap and baby dish soap and baby bottle brush. Have not used it in dishwasher.

I have never stored them near water, but I would assume it would rust if it was often wet. They are sturdy but coated lightly, so I think the metal would rust pretty easily.

Not sure how long it lasts but I think, unopened, it would have a long shelf life. I bought a case about 10 months ago and still have 4 unopened. I really can not see how they would turn bad. Most condiments and spices seem to last for a couple of years.

I think they will rust if used inside or out I think they are chrome plated steel. I still would take them over non-metal. Probably as good as you can get. Very nice looking.

As far as I know. People have been keeping spices in tin containers for a long time. My best advice would be check out Martha Stewart on the subject.

Sorry, I can't answer your question. I purchased them for a gift that was requested. The person is using them to put all their spices in. They're spice drawer looks VERY VERY nice. :)
