Tired of clogged spice jars? Try this simple trick!

If you're anything like us, you love to cook. And nothing is worse than when you're in the middle of cooking and you grab your spice jar, only to find that it's clogged. Talk about annoying!

We don't know what it is about spices, but they always seem to get clogged up no matter how often you use them.

Also, once they're clogged, it's nearly impossible to get them unclogged. Some people have tried everything, from shaking the jar to using a toothpick, but nothing seems to work. Then when you try to pour some out, it all comes out in a big clump.



Well, if you find this relatable, then we've got good news for you!

As per usual, the internet has come up with a fairly straightforward yet ingenious tip for this pesky issue.

According to a recent TikTok video, you shouldn't shake your clogged spice jars because doing so will cause the spices to clump together. Instead, you should use the white cap under the lid of the jar to grind the clumped-up spices.

You read that right, folks! Apparently, the white cap also serves as a grinder for the spice powder within the jar, making it simpler for home cooks to use the spices while cooking.

Similar to how salt and pepper are ground from their jars, all you have to do to grind the spices is to hold the white cap in place while rotating the jar.



The video has captured the attention of many TikTok users, with several commenting on the practicality of the little-known hack.

Other users said that they felt cheated their whole life for not knowing this simple trick.

One person said: 'I saw this a couple of weeks ago and I had to come back and say I've never felt so betrayed.'

'I had noooo idea!' another exclaimed.

This discovery has also astounded us, and we can't wait to try this tip!

How about you? Will you be going to give this trick a try? Now someone just needs to come up with a way to get spices stuck at the bottom of the jar to dislodge so we can try this! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

This is not new, I've been using this method all my life. If you have some spices that are resistant to this method take off the white lid and using a teaspoon handle use it like a drill, turning it round while pushing it in, works a treat!:)

Winter months a few grains of rice in most containers solves the problems 😋 🙃

How does this work when the clump is at the bottom of the jar. The only way to move it is to loosen it with a knife.

I shake n shake my jar only to find its actually empty !
I agree. The clump is always at the bottom! Maybe if I was to store my containers upside down? 🤣
