How do I organise my pantry?
Categorise your pantry items
Start off with sorting out each level of your pantry cupboard. Keep your most-reached-for items at eye-level, think cereals, cooking oil, herbs and spices, and other bulkier items that you may only reach for once a month at bottom or top levels of your pantry.
Invest in storage containers
Choose open baskets for items which already have their own packaging, for example unopened crackers or crisps. Opt for airtight storage containers for opened food items like pastas, rice, grains, opened packets of muesli, and so on.
Consider a lazy Susan
A lazy Susan is a great choice for optimising dead space within your pantry – plus, you’ll find what you’re looking for with a simple flick of the wrist, literally. Moreover, ensuring your food items are within easy reach and visible means less food waste in the long run.
Pantry shelving
Apart from your pantry’s original shelving, there are many options that will ensure you make the most out of your pantry. Shelf inserts and elevated tiers are a great way to use up vertical space that would otherwise be wasted.
Decant your liquids
One of the main reasons a pantry may look messier than it actually is, is because there are different shapes and sizes of bottles within.
We won’t argue that there’s anything *more* satisfying than finding that your new bottle of soy sauce fits like a glove with your already existing range of sauces and condiments. However, this game of chance can end badly for some – resulting in ill-fitting sauces and oils within your existing collection, or worse, the bottles are too tall to fit inside your pantry and find their way permanently on your kitchen counter for the year ahead…
To avoid the latter, consider decanting your liquids into uniform jars and bottles, so you’ll have them neatly in place inside your pantry all year round.
Is pantry organisation worth it?
No matter whether you live alone, or your household is over-run with little people, pantry organisation is definitely worth it. From sorting food, to cooking essentials and so much more, organising your pantry is a major time-saver. Forget spending valuable minutes looking for smaller ingredients, and simply grab and go thanks to immaculately stored items.
