If you’re feeling overwhelmed when you open your pantry doors, it’s time to make life easier with these great tips to keep it looking neat and organised.
1. Use Clear Containers
Clear containers aren’t just trending because they look good, they’re also practical! They allow you to see what's inside each container without having to open it - so when it comes to your next pantry restock - checking how much of everything you have left is much easier (and aesthetically pleasing).
2. Utilise Chalk Stickers
To keep track of expiration dates once you’ve thrown packaging away, use chalk stickers to pop on the back of your containers. Chalk stickers are reusable so you can simply erase the old expiration date and write the new one on when you refill your pantry items. You can also use them to label items such as flour, sugar and other cooking necessities so that you don’t get similar-looking products mixed up next time you’re ready to bake!
3. Lazy Susan
Spinning your items such as spreads & sauces on a lazy Susan makes life easier. Another bonus is that they enhance your pantry and help keep spreads and condiments all in one place, rather than scattered throughout your pantry.
4. Store Onions by Themselves
Did you know that onions emit ethylene gas which can age and rot potatoes? For this reason, it’s best to store them on their own. By keeping your onions whole and unpeeled they’ll also keep ripe for longer.
5. Take Advantage of Vertical Spacing
Stacking items in your pantry helps you utilise space more efficiently, especially if your pantry is on the smaller size. Using containers that stack on top of one another makes it easier for you to access items without things falling everywhere!
