I was looking for stainless spice containers , loved the ideal of getting both containers & spice.

I was super impressed with the overall quality of the herbs, though I did find that some of the packages were slightly open. Not in the sense that there was herb all over the place, but more-so the fact that I could really smell some of them. I figured that could also possibly be a remnant of the manufacturing process, but regardless, the quality was just fine on everything I received. I was initially concerned there could be some problems, but I noticed none.These jars are designed a little different than anything I've ever seen before. You can twist the lid one way to get smaller holes, or twist the other way to get a large hole. This is great for being able to shake out smaller amounts into a meal. If you need to spoon any out, the lid is held snugly and will require some mild force to remove.The other thing that I also really liked about these were the magnets. I didn't even get them for that, but as soon as I saw it, it gave me a great idea for an improvement in my kitchen!!! I'm going to get a strip of magnetic tape and secure it under my cabinet space. That'll allow me to hang these upside-down, under the cabinets. I firmly believe the lids will hold just fine upside down.This set of herbs is a bit more on the basic side. The only one that seemed kind of exotic is the Tumeric. What do you even cook with that? Oh well. Something to challenge myself with, certainly! So far everything I've made with these has turned out just as I'd hoped. Price is a bit on the steeper side, but I usually just buy the cheapest herbs I can find at the store. I've no idea what quality brands can run. These could very well be on the cheap end. I just can't say for sure. I'm happy regardless, and will likely keep these containers when it's time to replace the herbs. Can't go wrong here.

I dumped all of my spices when I got these spices. I would say that most people that cook need to get rid of their spices. They go bad after a rather short time and using older spices are just not as good as fresh ground spices. I know I forget about spices until I need them. Some of the spices I had were over five years old. Regardless of my silliness, this is a good buy.Right out of the box you can tell you get a pretty good item. The spices are sealed and will stay that way until you use them. I opened all of mine and cooked with them and they all were pretty good. You will have some you like and some you don't but all in all, they are really well-made spices. My personal favorite is turmeric.This is a good starter kit. I will be buying more. I love the can as they are magnetic and stack well. The graphics are wonderful and you can see exactly what you are going to use. Give it a shot.

We went through and got rid of all of our old spices. So, we have been buying what we need when we need it. This lot of 8 small batches is great. I am thinking of recipes right now. I like that these are small batches and I love that the tins are magnetic. I just put these on the side of my refrigerator and they are kept handy.

This is a pretty great season kit for starting out or expanding your spice rack. Each canister is pretty good sized. As you can see they are about the size of my hand in the photos. The spices are sealed in bags for protection during shipping I suspect. You will need to open each bag and pour spices into the canisters.When using you have a couple of options to remove the lid to easily measure out amounts, or you can twist the side of the lid to the opening and use the Large pour (option 1 in photos) or the smaller shaker holes (Option 2 in photos).The bottoms of each of these has a magnet attached and holds pretty firm. The last photo isn't upside down that is the jar hanging. The lid stayed firmly in place with no issues.Overall, these are reusable if desired and pretty light wight. The seasonings are flavorful and cooked with no bitter aftertaste. At a little over $7 per jar for these spices you are paying for the reusable canisters as well as the spices. Not really a bad deal.

Price, taste

This is a nice starter kit of often used spices. These are fresh and tasty, and come packed in a bag inside the tin for extra freshness. As soon as I opened a few of them I realized that in comparison, some of the spices in my cabinet were old and needed replacing. I am more than happy with these, and love the tins they come in with their magnetic bottoms. These can be refilled when new spices are purchased.

The spices come sealed in plastic baggies inside of the tins. They all are fresh and flavorful. It is a good selection of spices, and you sure will use each of them.I thought I will like the metal tins, but turns out, I am not such a big fan of them. The opening on the side of each tin is not marked, so instead of turning it one way and using the spices, I turn and turn it to find the obscured opening. Sometimes I turn it wrong and it goes out of alignment and the lid gets stuck and I have to fix it. It is just a bit more fuss than I would want in my kitchen.The tins have pictures of where it is best to use each of the spices. There is the name on each lid, so it is easy to see when the tin is stuck on a vertical surface.
