Kitchen Pantry Organisation Tips and Tricks
Kitchen pantry organisation is very important to be able to maintain what you have in there. You should make sure that all of the ingredients and other items are within reach and easy to find. The following are some steps that can help with this process:
- Designate a specific place for each item – Once you know where things are, it is quicker to do a stock check and grab items as you need them.
- Label and organize the drawers so it’s easier to find what you need.

If you have enough storage space in your pantry, it is a good place to keep things such as potatoes and vegetables that do not need to go in the fridge. Keeping them in a cool dark place will extend their use by date and mean less wastage again for you.
