Stainless Steel Masala Dabba Spice Container Box - 7 Spoons - Clear Lid

Love the quality and the size. It's pretty thick and heavy duty steel and the individual containers are nice and deep. I have bought other spice containers and have always been disappointed by the size but this one is perfect for my kitchen. Big enough to fit in my cupboard near the stove and also big enough to hold spices for many meals, not just a couple, so I don't have to keep refilling it every other day. I've read other reviews that say that the lid doesn't close when the spoons are inside but I haven't had that issue. The lid closes fine with the spoons, you just have to make sure that they are placed properly and not sticking out. It would have been nice if this container came with an inner lid as well, a clear one would be perfect, but it's not such a huge issue. I haven't had any issues with the spice smells mixing as the lid does fit well, snug and tight. I'm very happy with this purchase. So much so that I've just bought another one to give to my mum as a present. She saw mine and loved it. It is also resonably priced for what it is, as I've come across some quite expensive masala dabbas on here. Highly recommended especially if, like me, you cook curries every other day.

On my fourth masala tin in the last 20 years (not because anything was wrong with the rest, just kept giving it away to friends who wanted one)... and this is my favorite out of all of them. Clear glass on top to showcase your beautiful array of colored spices. I have never had a separate spoon for each spice! It's extravagant and cool! I mostly still use one because when my oil heats up quickly, I have to move fast to get all the spices in there to bloom them in time, but I love the idea of separates and for slower-paced cooking it works out fine. The tin is deeper than any other I have ever had (because has to be able to hold all the individual spoons) -- and I like that because I don't have to refill my spices as often (we cook Indian food for our family 2-4 times weekly). Only con is water got under the glass rim stuck between metal and glass and had to blowdry it out after cleaning for the first time (or the moisture will ruin your masalas). But I don't clean my tin *that* often so it's a minor nuisance. Would highly recommend as a first time tin or a tin for a regular Indian cook!

Good quality, nice deep cups that holds a lot so I don't have to keep refilling the spices too often. Individual spoons makes it convenient to scoop the spices. The glass lid helps you to see thru. Arrived on time and the stainless steel is very sturdy and of high quality. I gave 4 stars because there was a little scratch on the inside of the lid however I can still use it. Compared to other expensive spice box here this one is practical and affordable too. Highly recommended .

Masala dabba is well made, attractive and sturdy. The tins are deep and hold close to a cup of spices or other herbs. I really am pleased with it. I would recommend it to anyone. Then only thing is the lid. Be careful when you wash it because water gets in it. That is the only thing I found. It is an excellent product and I will be ordering another one.

This product's dimensions are *NOT* 10 X 5 X 10 inches as listed. If you're looking for a 10-inch masala dabba, this isn't it. The actual dimensions are: Big container (closed): Diameter 8-1/4" Height 3-7/8" Big container (open, without the lid): Diameter 8" Height 3" Small containers: Diameter 2-5/8" Height 2-3/4" Spoons: Length 4-1/4" Width 15/16" Weight: 2 pounds 8-1/2 ounces Spoons: The spoons aren't classic masala dabba spoons. They are straight up and down, rather than the curved shape, which makes it harder to use in a small cup. They are espresso (demitasse) spoons. They hold a lot less than a classic masala dabba spoon which has a wide-v shape at the edge. The same wide-v shape also prevents powders from spilling over the edge by directing them to pool in the middle and the edges acting as a kind of slanted wall. But these demitasse spoons don't have that, so they hold less and are much more likely to spill powders while going from spice pot to the cooking pot. Stacking: It does not stack. It has a highly polished and therefore slippery, rounded top. If you attempt to stack them, they will slide off at the slightest movement, and that would be a disaster with all the powders inside. The clear lid is not glass. It's a good quality plastic material. However, it is prone to scratches and already had minor cosmetic scratches on arrival. The highly polished stainless steel exterior is also prone to scratches, and had minor cosmetic scratches on arrival. Packaging (of the product, not Amazon's packing): It was very well packed in a sturdy box with bubble wrap and plastic wrap of each individual piece. Looks well built and like a quality product. It could be stainless steel plated, rather than built of stainless steel, although I cannot be sure.

This container is very good and looks pleasing but the problem is the glass cap that fits in the container top came off on mine and won't fit again. That left my box with out top and useless. Other than that it is solidly built and does the job.

box is very nice but the glass on the lid is not very securely attached - mine came off, warped with less than 1 month of use (I bought two others which are fine biggest problem is not being able to return - i just want another lid

This is a fabulous Masala Dabba. Solid, good construction, well fitting lid, with seven roomy individual spice holders (love the little spoons that come with each one). The price was very reasonable for the quality of this product. I'm so pleased with this item I would recommend it to anyone, whether they be new to the world of Indian cuisine, or very experienced. One more note, this container is wonderful for any kind of spices and herbs you want to put in it whether it be for Indian cuisine, Italian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, etc., etc. Very versatile!

This is a an excellent product. Made in India and feels very solid. The only negative thing that prevents me from giving this a 5 star is that the spoons are too long so you can't close the lid properly. If they were just a 1cm of so shorter it would be perfect. Other then that can't complain of the quality.

I like the steel bowl and compartments, but you cannot close the lid completely when the spoons are in the compartments. It's just badly designed. Also, the transparent top is made of plastic, so it has kind of a cheap feel. If those things don't botter you, then you won't be disappointed.

This is a great idea & this company has the best price that I could find on line. The item arrived within 24 hours of ordering it!! wnat more could you want?? cheers.

Beautiful product, my only complaint is that the lid doesn't close properly with the spoons in the containers. Easy to wipe clean.

I've wanted one of these for years. If the top had been metal instead of plastic I would have given it five stars.
