Problem: I’m a guy. When I try to cook, it uses these things called “in-gradients”. I am supposed to have little boxes, cylinders, and packets full of baking power, baking soda, and yeast.
Solution: I’ve already got a spice rack. Put ‘em in there.
Seriously, is it so hard to package baking powder into a spice jar? Or little packets of yeast in a spice jar? Every recipe wants a teaspoon or two. I don’t need a new shape in my three dimensional Tetris of cabinet space. And don’t get me started on bullion cubes!

Uh… buy a 50ยข bottle, and pour the baking soda into that?
The baking soda will pick up the scent of anything it is near. You may like curry flavored chocolate chip cookies. I keep my baking soda box in a ziploc bag.
Also, baking soda is a mild base, which makes it good for cleaning things, which is why you have the big old box.
Hmm.. buying a bottle that matches the spice rack is, in theory, possible.
Hi Steph,
Glad to hear from you!
Maybe a really good seal for baking soda? Most Indian spices are stored in metal cans for just this reason.
