Top 10 Smart Ways to Organize Your Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the spaces in the house, where we spend more time than the rest of the rooms. Here family members gather to dine, to share their day-to-day experiences; stories are told here, vacancies are set, careers are discussed, all things important for the harmony in the house.

Therefore, it is obvious that having an airy, clean, well-organized kitchen will make life easier and more enjoyable for all who live together.

A well-organized kitchen means cooking with pleasure for your family, less wasted food, and a better emotional state that is also reflected in the quality of the food prepared.

Here are 10 smart and easy ways to organize your kitchen and make family life and energy flow easily when it comes to preparing and serving food.

 Clean up

Cleaning is the first step in organizing a room, and the kitchen seems to be the most "crowded" of all. Pots, pans, plates, cutlery, knives, and other objects that you neither use nor want to throw away.

If this is the case for you in the kitchen, the sorting begins! Re-evaluate the items you need (get rid of the rest), see what ingredients are left in the drawers (throw them away if they have expired) and cook what you have in the freezer older than 6 months.

Put the things in the proper order

The main factor in the kitchen chaos: many useless containers. For efficient sorting, buy rectangular, transparent containers that you can place in the closet, or that you can easily place in the refrigerator, on the table, or in the microwave.

Organizer for paper towels and food foil

There is no shortage of rolls with paper towels, baking paper, aluminum foil, or food foil in any kitchen. They all take up space. But, with a smart organizer for everything, which you can hang on the wall, you will be able to save a little space and have a well-organized kitchen.

Use cabinet doors

The interior of the cabinet doors can be transformed into storage space. You can "hang" on chopping doors, lids, gauges, or other cooking utensils.

Use all the spaces

Analyze your kitchen and see what unused spaces you have. Maybe the sink mask, maybe the space between a wall and the fridge. Turn any unused space into a storage space.

If it is small, narrow, it can become an excellent place to store spices. If it is larger, it will be ideal for pots, pans, and pans.

Food table

To have a well-organized kitchen, you need to know what foods are in it. Make a place to write down what you have in the fridge when you bought it when you put it in the freezer or the cupboards.

This way you will have an overview of the ingredients that you should use first (so as not to allow them to expire).

Refrigerator organization

And arranging food in the fridge is important. For example, dairy is better on the top shelf, where the temperature is constant, while the meat should be kept on the bottom shelf, where it is coldest. In addition, if blood leaks, it will not fill the refrigerator.

In the pantry, you have to see and get to everything

In the closets and the pantry, you have to keep everything in view and easily reach everything that is stored inside. Otherwise, you will forget about them. You can sort the food and the pots according to the dish you prepare.

For example, tomato paste next to pasta, and next to it the saucepan. Canned food can fit perfectly in a magazine rack, while a mobile shoe rack can be installed on the door to put spice bags.

Work areas

Create work areas in the kitchen so that it is easier for you to move around. For example area for storing food, area for storing dishes, area for cleaning products, area for preparing ingredients, area for cooking.

Then store utensils, ingredients, products in those areas

Use logic

Keep all the items you use often at hand, so you can see them, pick them up, and quickly put them back after you use them. The less often you use an object in the kitchen, the more it should be kept away, so as not to confuse you.
