Control pantry chaos!

July 21st, 2011 by Denise Levine

Here some ideas for organizing your pantry:
TIP: Use clear containers and bins to hold items that are small like spices, fiber bars, or vitamin bottles. That way you can easily see what is inside, and catch spills.
TIP: Store items in plastic or glass rather than fabric or metal containers.This will make clean up much easier.
TIP: Utilize tiered shelves in order to maximize vertical space. This is a great way to see items that are in the back of your pantry.
TIP: Keep a few extra chip clips in the pantry. Keeping containers and bags sealed will ensure their freshness.

Organizing the pantry

Here are 4 easy steps:
(1) Discard all spoiled and expired items. Keep a shopping list handy so that you can write down those items you want to replace.
(2) Remove all items from the pantry, place them on the countertop or table grouping like items together. Take stock of how much of particular items you have so that you don’t buy more than you need.
(3) Clean all surfaces and make sure to dry them thoroughly. Place an open box of baking soda towards the back of a central shelf to absorb any unwanted odors.
(4) Replace all items as follows: Most frequently used items within easy reach. Items that will expire soon should be in front of those with later dates. Keep like items together so that you know when the supply is low. Keep an extra box of sealable bags and twist ties in the cupboard to enclose open items.
