A well organized kitchen makes cooking a pleasure. Instead of frantically riffling through piles of plastic storage containers, pan lids, and random cooking tools as a pot boils over and the smoke alarm starts screaming, you can move smoothly through the cooking process, knowing where to find what you need.
Regardless of the size of your kitchen, you can do several things to organize your kitchen cabinets to make everything easier to find. Shelf systems, spice racks, and a plan are all that you need to make the best use of your kitchen. To make a kitchen truly efficient, you must first consider where each item is used and then place it in a convenient location that makes sense and is easy to reach. This will create a natural flow of movement within your kitchen.
Glass Wall Shelves
Put Things Where They Belong
Plates, glasses and silverware are generally used at a dining table and then washed in a dishwasher or at the sink. The best placement for these items is somewhere in between those two locations. Pots and pans are used at the stove and should be located nearby. As these items are generally heavier, lower cabinets are the best place for them. There are shelf systems that can help you store your pot and pan lids neatly and conveniently, minimizing the clutter in your cabinets.
Food and food preparation items, such as mixing bowls, spices, mixers, blenders, and utensils need to be located according to their use, as well. Items used less often should be stored further away, while frequently used items should be within easy reach. Most cabinet arrangements allow you to put your silverware in the top drawer, cooking utensils in the second drawer, towels and other linens in the third drawer, as so on. Knowing where everything is stored will make your kitchen more efficient and easier to use.
Keep Your Spices In The Dark
While most spice racks display your collection attractively, they do nothing to protect the volatile oils found in most spices. Herbs exposed to light quickly deteriorate and lose their flavor. Cabinet spice racks offer an excellent solution, allowing you to organize your spices in an easy to use method that protects them from the destructive force of light.
In the same way, wall spice racks take advantage of the space that already exists in your walls, between the studs, while protecting your delicate herbs and spices from sunlight. This is especially important when space is at a premium. Wall spice racks and cabinet spice racks will protect your food investment and, as any cook knows, spices can be very expensive.
What To Do With All The Odds And Ends
Kitchen utensils, tools, and storage pieces are notoriously odd shaped and can be difficult to store neatly. Very often, they get tossed into a drawer or cabinet haphazardly, which makes them difficult to find when needed. Kitchen shelf systems can make a huge difference in how efficiently your kitchen can be used. In the same way that a cabinet spice rack protects and organizes your spices, kitchen shelf systems allow you to place things within easy reach, making them easier to find.
Plastic food storage containers can be stacked according to size and shape with their corresponding lids stored neatly alongside. Kitchen appliances can take their place on the lower shelves, whereas smaller and lighter items can be placed at eye level or higher.
Each kitchen must be organized according to its use and user. Everyone has their own style of cooking. Placing kitchen items on a shelf system organized with your personal cooking style in mind will make your cooking experience far more enjoyable and productive.
