This spice rack comprises a cabinet divided into a plurality of cubicles and, within the cubicles, a plurality of removable spice boxes. Each spice box comprises a front wall, a back wall, and a partition parallel to the front wall dividing the box into a large-volume dispensing chamber between the partition and the back wall and a small-volume reserve chamber between the partition and the front wall. The front wall is transparent so that spice stored in the reserve compartment is readily visible from the front of the cabinet when the spice box is located in its associated cubicle. Each spice box has a top with perforations therein communicating with the associated dispensing compartment to allow spices to be dispensed therethrough. These tops are effectively imperforate where aligned with the associated reserve compartments.
