I like to cook, and although I’m no Julia Child, you can’t say my food is unseasoned. Whether I’m making risotto or roasting veggies, there’s always cause for a little more basil, or another dash of garlic powder, some extra black pepper, a sprinkle of sage — you get the idea. And, as you can imagine, my spice cabinet is overflowing with different powders and blends, some of them purchased long ago and swiftly forgotten. So, whenever I need to find an herb beyond my front row of favorites, the search always results in one big mess. I’m direly in need of a new organizational system to help declutter my cabinets. Thankfully, there are plenty of solutions out there — many of them reviewed here on Kitchn by our own writers. If you, too, could use some more order in your spice station, read on to see 10 of the best magnetic spice racks that’ll get your ingredients squared away neatly.

This four-tier magnetic organizer is similar in style to the previous Yamazaki one, but it comes in a matte-black finish and isn't as big of a splurge.

This organizer also has hooks on the side for additional storage, and at 5 pounds, it's much lighter than it looks.

This pack of four magnetic spice racks is seriously sturdy. Unlike a lot of other magnetic racks, each little shelf can hold up to 6.6 pounds — talk about tiny but mighty!

Arrange all four racks under each other, or divide them up on opposite sides of the fridge for convenience.

Unlike tiered organizers whose shelves are all connected, this pack of magnetic shelves can be spaced as far apart as you desire, so if you decided to place taller containers on the lower shelf, you can without a problem. And, because each shelf is relatively small, you can stick it on other magnetic surfaces besides the fridge, including the microwave. (Each shelf holds up to 9 pounds, too!)
