Frequently asked questions
Should individual spices and premixed blends go on the same wheel?
It is best to separate them. Put single spices (like cumin or paprika) on one wheel for custom blending, and premixed seasonings (like Cajun or Taco seasoning) on another.
Can I build a spice picker around a specific cuisine?
Yes. For example, create a Mexican cuisine spice wheel featuring cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, and coriander.
How can I separate mild and spicy options?
Group mild herbs and warm spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika) on a mild wheel, and place spicy peppers (cayenne, chili flakes, habanero) on a high-heat wheel.
Can the spice picker help me experiment with unfamiliar spices?
Absolutely. Spin the wheel to select one wild-card spice from your cabinet and incorporate a pinch into roasted vegetables, soup, or marinade.
