Are you struggling to find food in your pantry (figure A)? Just because a pantry is stocked doesn't mean it's organized. - Start the de-cluttering process by completely cleaning out the space. Limit the pantry to only food and paper goods (figure B).
- Your pantry should resemble a grocery store. Keep things together.
- The items you use the most should be at eye level. Line up the food with labels facing front.
- Double your shelf area with expandable racks. Take advantage of depth with sliding baskets (figure C).
- Put everything that comes in awkward bags or boxes in see-through plastic containers.
- Use an over-the-door shoe organizer to hold smaller food items, medicines and vitamins (figure D).
- Keep a list of possible meals in the pantry along with a shopping list for items you need to restock.
- Remember to return everything to its proper place to maintain a functional pantry (figure E).
Web Extra: - If your house doesn't have a pantry, you can create one by turning a closet close to the kitchen into a pantry by adding shelves and hooks.
- Group items by categories: rice, pasta, boxed meal helpers, cereal/breakfast items, canned goods, baking supplies, condiments, sauces, oils, vinegars, spices and snack foods.
- Give food you don't use to family, friends or charities.
- Rotate your food so you use older items first.
- In order to quickly see your spices, put them on a stepped platform.
- Add a small stepstool for reaching items on top shelves.
