Discover the 'magic trick' to instantly remove clumps from your spice jars
- Replies 5
Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs in our lives come from the simplest solutions.
Today, we have one such golden nugget of wisdom that could revolutionise your home cooking—and it doesn't involve spending a single penny!
We all know how frustrating it is to reach for a spice jar while cooking only to find its contents clumped into one big mass due to moisture. But don’t fret! We have a solution for you.
We usually shake the jar roughly or bang it on the countertop in the hopes of taking enough spice to eke out some flavour in our meals.
But now, you don’t need to resort to that, dear members, because we've stumbled upon a trick that's nothing short of magic.
This trick is set to clear those spice-clump woes away in seconds! This quick, effective and cost-free method has come to us courtesy of a savvy mum named Fara.
Like many of us, Fara was fed up with the distressing sight of seeing other food enthusiasts discarding 'ruined' spice jars whose contents had formed a stubborn rock formation.
It turns out that spice powders clump together due to the moisture dissolving the carbohydrates or proteins and making them sticky after exposure.
But, instead of throwing good money after bad spice, she tackled this culinary conundrum and devised a genius solution: rubbing the bottom of the jars together.
Here’s how to do it: Turn the affected spice jar upside down, grab another spice jar, and rub their bottoms together in circular motions.
'I have a spice hack you need to see,' declared Fara in her online video showcasing this method. 'If you're ever frustrated because your spices get stuck together and won't come out, I've got the fix.'
Showing the technique in action, she continues: 'This friction will cause everything to come out really easily.'
This trick has sparked various reactions from social media users.
‘Why was I just getting frustrated about this! Thanks for the tip!’ one person commented.
‘I thought you were going to hit one with the other… [it’s] what I would have done. Your way is better,’ another wrote.
'Oh—I've really wasted so much time slamming my palm against the bottles,' someone shared.
A waitress stated, 'I do this at my restaurant when the pepper comes out too slow.'
The internet community has hailed this as a game-changer. One enthralled user revealed, 'If this works, you've just saved me from re-purchasing all of my spices.'

We shared another spice jar trick last year. According to the video featured in the article, you can use the white cap of the spice jar as a makeshift grinder. This will get rid of the clumped-up spices when you use them!
Additionally, it was advised that we should not shake the jars because it will cause further
clogging. You may learn more about this here.

As for me, I've got a stubborn jar of ground cumin and garlic powder waiting in the pantry to get de-clumped.
