When I walk into someone’s house for the first time there are usually things I look at, things that tip me off as to how much of an adult they really are. Vases with actual flowers usually get the knowing nod, a working clock with batteries in that haven’t been dead for years is also good, a fully-stocked spice rack the finishing touch. You, sir or madam, have got this down.

With that in mind we’re looking to help you folks out seeking to make the leap to fully-fledged adulthood with the 16-piece Spice Rack with Spices starting from R399 (40% off, free delivery). That’s the actual rack and all the gosh darn spices full to the brim, meaning no more ‘Cajun Spice’ or ‘Meat Spice’ used for every dish under the sun.

The rack rotates on a Lazy Susan (sorry Susan, their words), the 16-piece spice set is made of glass and has a chrome or stainless steel finish.

R399 for a 16-Piece Chrome Jar Spice Rack and Spices (R679 value)
R499 for a 16-Piece Stainless Steel Orbit Spice Rack and Spices (R859 value)

Now for that list of spices:

• Basil: 11g
• Cinnamon: 35g
• Coriander: 22g
• Dill Weed: 12g
• Ground Fennel: 31.5g
• Ginger: 28g
• Herbs de Provence: 12g
• Italian Seasoning: 13g
• Marjoram: 7g
• Oregano: 12g
• Paprika: 34g

Looks like that’s most of the bases covered then, not that you should be tossing out the Cajun Spice just yet. No need to be hasty my friends.
