Taking Control One Area At A Time

Standing in the middle of your
kitchen and looking at all of the
areas that food is stored can be
intimidating!

Just pick one area at a time and
start, put the trash can close by
and start throwing out anything
that hasnt been used in a while.
Opened cereal boxes that no-one
likes, open boxes of cookies etc.
etc. etc.

You will be amazed at the amount
of space these things take up in
your cupboards and drawers.
Here are some important rules to
consider when cleaning out
cupboards and drawers:

*All items must be visible, face
all labels forward

*Put taller items in the back

*Put similar items together

*Clear plastic containers can keep
small awkward shaped items together

*Pasta sauces should be near pasta

*Rice vinegar and soy sauce could
be together

*Set up your cabinets for maximum
usage, lazy susans can hold all of
your bottled goods (labels out)
rather than having to dig behind
one to find another

*Shelf steps can be used to put
things at different heights on the
same shelf, this is especially
helpful if all of the items are
the same size, like canned soups

*Keep your herbs and spices
alphabetized, it saves time

When cleaning out drawers,
consider where you use the items
most, and put them close to that
area if at all possible.

The drawers closest to your work
area should hold the items you use
the most.

Try to avoid stacking pots and
pans that you commonly use inside
of each other. Limiting the size
of a stack of pans to three makes
them easier to get to; this may
mean that you have to stack items
you dont use very often higher.

Look at your counter tops, if you
dont use and item at least a
couple of times a week, put it in
a cabinet out of the way.

This opens up the counter top for
things you use more often.
Organize your kitchen to best suit
you and your needs, you will be in
there more often than anyone else.
