Whether you're dealing with a tiny kitchen or an overstuffed pantry, these smart solutions have got you covered.
1. Open-Weave Baskets
Open-weave baskets are a versatile choice for organizing pantry staples like canned goods and produce like onions. Their simplicity and ability to showcase your contents make these metal baskets favorites. Available in medium and large sizes, they find a place in every kitchen.
2. Wicker Baskets
Wicker baskets are an elegant addition to your kitchen. Perfect for corralling canned goods, baking supplies, and school snacks, they also hide away items you'd rather keep out of sight. Consider labeling them for quick identification.
3. Glass Bulk Food Storage
Clear glass jars are the ultimate solution for identifying and preserving dry bulk ingredients with ease. Available in various sizes, these stackable jars make organization a breeze.
4. Mason Jars
Mason jars are a classic choice for storing both dry and wet ingredients. Their stackability and resistance to breaking make them a practical option. However, you might need to invest in reusable lids.
5. Wooden Storage Lids
For regular mason jar use, consider investing in wooden lids to ensure a tight seal for dry goods. Just make sure they're not compatible with canning.
6. Plastic Food Storage Containers
For families with clumsy members or those in need of extreme durability, these plastic food storage containers from Rubbermaid are an excellent choice. Available in different sizes, they seal well, stack, and are shatterproof.
7. Rotating Tray
Accessing items in tight spaces becomes a breeze with a rotating tray, especially one with a low profile and sturdy structure.
8. Tray Divider
Say goodbye to cabinet disarray by dividing the space vertically with a tray divider, ensuring a perfect fit with careful measurement.
9. Over-the-Door Organizers
For compact spaces, an over-the-door organizer is a valuable addition, capable of housing spices or baking pans.
10. Stackable Shelves
Maximize vertical space and enjoy a clear view of your pantry contents with stackable shelves. Designed to expand and fit various cabinet widths, they can be found in several eye-catching colors.
11. Pull-out Drawers
Deep spaces become a pleasure to navigate with adjustable pull-out drawers. Ideal for storing to-go food containers or storage items, these may require some installation effort.
