New curing bins..

[jenneelk]

Thought I'd share my giant (tall) rack that I finally got! It's taken me forever it seems to decide on one and this set overall was the biggest bang for the buck IMO since each bin (I have 12) holds at least 3 of my 4 lbs loaves with room to spare so they aren't squished at all. One bin also holds 2 of my large 6.5 lb loaves.
Cost wasn't bad at $60 for the whole thing and it's pretty darn sturdy for as light as it looks. I was planning on getting mesh baskets but went with this cheaper style and plan to cut left over cardboard to put in the bottom for those that go in early and are still soft. Doesn't happen often so not really sure I'll need it. The edges on the wires are pretty smooth and don't stick out.
Anyways, just thought I'd share..
Oh yeah, it's Ikea. My fav. store for organizing.
And in the pics I'd just put them in but normally they are spaced out.. just hadn't done it yet. lol

I am in dire need of more storage space and your pic reminded me of that fact. I might have to look into ikea as well.

Edit: I love the storage space, btw.

Wow! That is an awesome idea! I am just getting my "soap room" set up and I may need to get me something like that!

 

[AutumnBreezeSoaps]

BTW, your soaps are BEAUTIFUL!

 

[jenneelk]

Thank you.
Luna it's really freed up a lot of space. I love finding things that can go vertical and are easy to use.

I would love to find a bin like that. Where did you pick them up?

 

[godschild]

I live in a small space and already have almost $2000 worth of soap made with much more in the works. If you bought your bin rack thing at a store and wouldn't mind sharing where you found it, I would be so grateful to you. I am already out of storage space and having a few of those would make things for me so much better. Please please please share if you will.

 

[godschild]

I feel so idiotic lol. I just reread your post and saw that you bought it at Ikea. Thanks for sharing your great idea. Your soaps are pretty too

 

[jenneelk]

Sure no problem.. this one in particular is the Antonius (not algot) but there is another just like it with mesh baskets so thus, smaller holes, but it's twice the price.
These work well with papertowels and I'll do cardboard for any not fairly firm after 2 days curing.

I'm envious. I need more space and have been looking around locally. I haven't been able to find anything as nice. Lovely soap, too.

 

[jules92207]

This is my dream set up! And I dream of soaps that gorgeous too.

 

[jenneelk]

Hazel and Jules.. it's at Ikea.. not too much for the set of 3. $60 total. Was worth looking and looking and looking. Glad i held out!

 

[godschild]

Thanks for sharing and now I know what to put in the ikea search bar. I'm ordering some of those jokers and having them shipped. Sadly, we don't have an ikea in our state at all. Happy soaping

 

[godschild]

So awesome that I can even have it delivered for only $74.99 total! Woo Hoooo! You have made my day.

 

[katsntx]

Sweet! I have been looking for something like this with wheels. Ikea, here I come!

 

[jenneelk]

Godschild you found the Antonius then? I accidentally put Kallax which was another unit we got that day. sorry!

 

[Hazel]

Sadly, the nearest Ikea is about 2 hours away. I might check online and see what they have. I showed this to my sister and she said I should check out a DIY store. However, I have checked before and I didn't see anything even close to it.

 

[godschild]

Yes, I found the Antonius. I will be ordering it asap. It will only cost me $14 to have it shipped too!

What an amazing storage unit. Ikea hasn't reached New Zealand yet. I have lots of temporary stackers holding my soaps - I still haven't got myself properly organised yet. You seen so organised! Lovelyt soaps too. Cheers Helenz
