{"product_id":"commercial-masala-dabba-spice-box-32-oz","title":"Commercial Masala Dabba \/ Indian Spice Box — Square Stainless Steel, 32 oz Compartments","description":"\u003cp\u003eA commercial masala dabba built for an Indian restaurant prep line. Nine or twelve stainless steel inner boxes, each holding a full quart, sit in a square frame under one lid — so a chef opens one box and has the whole working spice set in front of them instead of reaching down a shelf of separate jars mid-service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the size most kitchens reach for first. A quart is a sensible working quantity for the spices a cook measures in spoonfuls — garam masala, clove, cardamom, black pepper, ajwain, kasuri methi. It gets topped up from the dry store once or twice a week rather than twice a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNine or twelve compartments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9 compartments\u003c\/strong\u003e — a three by three grid.

This one is square, in heavier gauge stainless, and a single compartment holds more than a whole home tin. The square shape is not decoration — it sits flush against a wall or beside another box on a prep table, without the wasted corners a round tin leaves behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn the line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner boxes lift straight out for washing and refilling.
