How to Organize Your Kitchen
Kitchens can often get cluttered, which makes it not only difficult to find things, but very dysfunctional. Here are some tips on organizing your kitchen cabinets, utensils and appliances, so that your kitchen becomes well organized, functional, and pleasant to your senses.
Organizing your kitchen can be easier with a larger kitchen, but is even more essential if you have a small kitchen, as in many apartments.
Begin by discarding anything you don’t use, along with any food, spices or medicines that are beyond their expiration dates. Be sure to check foods in your freezer that have been there a long time and have freezer burn.
Take everything out of your cupboards and drawers, and wash the insides with warm soapy water. Rinse and let dry completely before replacing items.
One way to organize your pantry is by dividing the space according to types of food: such as: canned vegetables, snacks, noodles, etc. Be sure to rotate your inventory and place the newest items at the back of the cabinet. Store food items used on a daily basis in readily accessible areas. Any food that may become infested with insects should be placed into sturdy plastic containers and sealed.
One of the basics of kitchen storage organization is organizing the kitchen storage cabinets. Larger and heavier items should be kept in lower cabinets.
Store pots, pans and cooking utensils near the stove, nesting the pots and pans together to conserve space. Store dishes and silverware near your eating area and/or dishwasher. Use racks and silverware holders to maximize use of space.
Remove large and seldom-used items from countertops and store them in a cupboard. For appliances that you use often, store them on the countertop in an orderly fashion. Toasters, blenders, juicers and other small appliances can be placed on the countertop without clutter. Store the kitchen appliances that you use only occasionally in those hard-to-reach places, thus reducing the clutter in your kitchen, plus making good use of those spaces.
Cooking utensils can be stored inside drawers or in a nice container on the countertop. A jar for these utensils right next to the stove is a good idea for the countertop.
We have already mentioned that the dishes you use daily are usually kept in kitchen storage cabinets, however, if you have “good china” and a nice glass cabinet this is a great place to store them and put them on display for all to enjoy.
If you do keep all your dishes in the kitchen cabinets, make sure that they are not crowded together. Store like items together, separating them by shelves if possible. For example, store glasses on one shelf, plates on another, and cups on another. Use a wide drawer which is readily accessible from the stove or counter, to store silverware and basic utensils.

I dig what you’re saying but there’s a lot more to this than meets the eye, like Transformers! -Roulette King
It always seems like it is easier to talk about organizing than actually doing it. And it’s great when someone else does it for you or has worked out all the little glitches. But the bottom line is that we still have to take responsibility for organizing our own “stuff”. I wish you well on your endeavors. Keep pressing forward and take it a little bit at a time. You will accomplish your goal!

We bought some of those as seen on TV tupperware type organizers. I can’t remember what they are called and I searched for them on the net but couldn’t find them.
They go in your cabinet and are on a round swivel base and the containers stack inside the base along with the lids.
Man that is probably the best thing we’ve ever bought. For a short time, it restored my faith in As Seen on TV type products that cost 19.95. Most of them are worthless junk but these things are awesome.
I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to throw away a ton of tupperware.
As the wise saying: “As iron is eaten by rust, so are the envious consumed by envy.” (Antisthenes) - thank you for the share!!

My first time to visit your website. Well, your post makes sense compare to other articles i read before. I will bookmark this because i really need it. tnx.
What I like to really get organized is to get those plastic containers. What you need though really is a big kitchen with a lot of shelf space to stay organized. You can’t be a slob either, you have to keep it up tight like that as you go on with daily kitchen activities.
Hello, a really interesting experience to visit your website. For sure i will come back soon. greets to all !
My kitchen is a mess, i really need tips on how to maximize the size of my small house. I could pretty much get used to this site.
Thanks.I think you have a good point.
Beside organization it prevents bacteria to grow in ares where you store the utensils we use to cook.
I am a bachelor and you can expect what kind of kitchen I have. But I think your these tips will help me to keep my kitchen neat and clean. Lets see how long I will keep it.
Keep working at it on a regular basis. I’m pretty organized and I have to keep at it, so don’t get discouraged if it starts to seem a little cluttered from time to time. Just apply the organization tips again. I wish you well.
