But this old person, 76, still loves cooking and I need a lot of things. Most of the appliances have to be stored in the spare bedroom which is now my store room. Have only just started sorting so it will take a while. You know that feeling, you want to do something but have to do 3 things before you get to what you really want to do? This is my life. So what is good for me now is to sit back, watch you work and might even get a couple of ideas. Great video.

The jar with the metal to lock the lid can easily be dismantled before washing the glass parts. Just pinch the back part of the lid part and work it loose. Take off the clip that holds the ring on the jar part. I do it every time I wash them. If you have different size jars of this type, it is a good idea to keep control of which set belongs to which jars, as the metal parts will vary in size too.

I decided that my corner cabinet had to be used for things I don't use so often as it is tough getting in there for smaller items that could fall off the shelves, etc. So, I have several appliances like a drip coffee maker that I only use if I have a larger group to serve, my hand mixer, Vitamix, etc. I find that has worked better for me. If you continue to use your corner cabinet for spices, I think I would look for some clear containers that would fit on the turntables to further categorize the areas on the turntables.

@Becky Hello, I want to suggest keeping the smaller latch top containers, you could use them to organize some of your flower or plant seeds. If not you can definitely use them to store items you make for Christmas to give away. They would make a beautiful container for a present for someone (jam/honey/tea/spice blend). I enjoy watching your clean and organized, it motivated me to give my own small one a (all the cabinets doors, walls, base boards, counter tops and floors) a good wipe down. Which carried onward to the bathroom to do the same thing. I am working on my own system for spices and I have a couple of large decorative jars with those types of lids you are using which I really like for my instant coffee and sugar. I am finding my pint size mason jars (even though I am only cooking for myself) to be too small for the items I want to store. Which are usually items like, brown sugar, sugar, salt, flour, dry pasta, dry seaweed, Korean beef dashi powder. Right now I have a hodge podge collection of containers going of different shapes and sized lol. I am hoping to change that in the future.

[@mariedeyo7399]

Hi Becky, when you wash the jars, you should take the rubber bands off and wash them separately. Otherwise, there may be spice residue underneath and the moisture underneath can cause mold to form. The rubber bands are the same size, so you don't have to put them back on the same jar after washing. Maybe you can use the jars later to fill them with honey. Or give them as a gift filled with freeze-dried spices and your friends can come back every year and have their jars refilled again. I use mine to marinate onions or yogurt cheese balls. Or for flower potpourri. Home made tea mix or to make vanilla sugar. ❤❤❤ I am sure you will find something. Btw Telly pepper is realy nice, its a bit citrus and not to strong. Also look for Kubeben pepper, its a bit more pricy but so good and healthy. I like to use long pepper , it reminds me of 5 spice and gets ground like nut meg. Wonderful for Asian dishes. I always have 5 or 6 kinds of pepper corns mixed and ground up fresh when needed. ❤

Becky, you always inspire me to get organized. Today it's raining and a good day to organize my kitchen. Love the mason jar wooden lids. Ordered some on Amazon today!!

[@amymlewis1965]

maybe use the flip tops for gifts - make your candles/soaps in them ?

[@frequentdiner4635]

Great idea! Bath salts, body lotions?

[@sunshinelovespeace]

Great work 😍 You’ve inspired me! Been wanting/needing to organize my kitchen cabinets. This is the push I needed to tackle the project. Wish me luck!

[@tinabina6846]

3 minutes and already so many likes and comments. Just goes to show how beloved Becky is. Love your channel Becky

[@sarahludos7970]

Agree and her subscribers keep going up every day!

[@sarahm676]

OMG! Thank you for the reminder that I also need to tackle my spice cabinet. I love your mason jars with wooden lids. I might get them from Amazon. Thank you for another great video.

[@suebucina5311]

I loved the quarts and I’m sooo happy to see them back!!! 😊❤

[@marytillison8392]

Better look

[@taraschmidheini4674]

The littles were way too little for Becky, just recently I said , she must have to constantly fill those.

[@normanelson233]

Love the shelf told my hubby I want him to put one up for my spices so easy to get to. Your cabinet with oil and vinegar I too put turn tables and so easy to get to. Your top empty one would be good for over fill spices. Next time the jars with wire you can take the wires off, but I agree they are a pain I’m slowly changing mine out lol seems they always get crooked to close. Love watching you organize, cook and garden. Remember doesn’t matter how old we are there is always something to learn. Keep up showing all. Love it

[@susanmihal6196]

I cannot tell you how much you inspire me! I cook more and healthier foods, I'm cleaning and organizing my entire kitchen and pantry and enjoying it so much! Nothing on the scale you do but all your tricks, tips and inspiration have made me a much better home cook!! Thank you!!!

[@tammyr2966]

Congratulations on 10 years of marriage! Love your spice organization, but I couldn’t do that without labels! You have inspired me to reorganize my spice cupboard! Love the jars with the mason lids, looks nice and neat that way!

[@jessicacarreon5904]

I can’t wait to watch! Just found you and I’m obsessed friend! So greatful for your knowledge, thank you for sharing! Single momma here & you’ve helped me save yet be healthy.

[@jessicakite8682]

I always loved the look of the mason jars with wood lids. It’s so pretty. I’m glad you went back to that. It’s way more practical too. 🙂

[@melissaorthman9711]

I love your organizational videos. They definitely inspire me to get my stuff more organized.

[@Victoria-Tola]

I love the new/old spice arrangement. So relaxing and inspiring watching you do this project. I've also started using towels in my kitchen - game changer!! Thanks Becky.

[@sarahludos7970]

Becky you are just a joy to watch! I am one of those ones that love to see organization videos. You have motivated me to clean out my spice jars. Thank you!!

[@MissSanderson]

I love the mason jars; I thought last year that changing them was a mistake but thought to each its own. Glad you changed them back 🙂 I would put the salts in a basket on that shelf, so it would look cleaner when you open that door...just a thought. Have a great day!💖

[@nellie7158]

Who else sniffed when Becky held out the pepper corns 😁 love the look of the quart jars with the wooden lids.

[@stichclark3980]

Becky id love to see a vid on different spices and blends one can make oneself and what they can be used for. Like a master list of spice creations made out of just a few ingredients. Spices can be intimidating to some of us who are not as creative in the kitchen as you are! Im willing to learn tho!

[@MJM8715]

We love a good Becky organization video!!🤎

[@RomanticizeReality]

Keep the small latch jars! You will find they come in handy for craft stuff for the kiddo!

[@KimHigg66]

Does anyone else have a dishwasher that does NOT dry your dishes? lol

[@donnieparrack4247]

Doesn't everyone? I do.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

It's one of the things I love about my DW. It gets things very clean every time and they're dry! You have to let it go through the whole dry cycle, though. I think Becky is often in a hurry to get things out so she can reload. I've heard that new ones no longer have heated drying cycles so I'm praying mine doesn't die before I do! 🤣🤣

[@KimHigg66]

@@Lucinda_Jackson Lucky you! Ours dries so hot that it melts any type of plastic but doesn’t dry the dishes! lol

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@ Oh, how awful! That's absolutely maddening! My last DW didn't really dry very well, but at least it didn't damage anything. I do think this is the unicorn of dishwashers! And I know I'm lucky, for sure.

[@Patriotgranny]

I was told by a repairman that the newer dishwashers require JETDRY to dry properly. I have tried it with & without & he was absolutely correct!

[@RomanticizeReality]

When I had a corner lower cabinet with the two decker lazy susan (just like yours'), I found the best use for it was not stuff I frequently needed. I instead used it for larger kitchen items like appliances, special dishes etc. It is much easier to spin and pull out a dish from there, than getting small items lost constantly in the back or spilling etc. Just an idea! You could then use your easier access cabinets where you stored those types of items for your constant-need items like spices etc.

[@bethlewis9981]

I love it when all my spice jars match but, like you, I could not keep track of what I had more of elsewhere. I solved the problem and still kept the cute jars by putting a clear glass marble in the bottom of the spice jar if I had more down in storage. That way I was never guessing if I should buy more without dashing downstairs to look around. If there was a marble, don't buy more quite yet--just replace from downstairs at my leisure. Works great for me!

[@lesliemelby7633]

I love your organization cleaning days. Inspiring. Be blessed.

[@thedirtygardener]

I had the same issue with my lazy Susan cabinet. I switched out food products for small kitchen appliances (Instant Pots, Food Saver, Kitchen Aid attachments, etc). It’s been a huge help. Edited to add: I know this is after the fact, but if you have little jars like that again, save them for your garden seeds. I like using them for seed saving or when a particular seed packet gets damaged. They’re also great for sharing seeds with friends.

[@dianegray9280]

Hi Becky! I'm so glad that you went back to your mason jars with the wooden lids for your spices. I always thought those looked so pretty back there and I agree with you, the smaller jars give more of a cluttered appearance. Love watching you and your processes as you work these things out. It helps many of us more than you know with our own organization projects.😊
