5 Principles for Pantry Perfection!
As we are fully into a new year, many of us are committed to resolutions centered around healthy eating. After the holidays, your pantry might be overflowing with ingredients just waiting to be used. To ensure that none of your forgotten food goes to waste, follow these FIVE Pantry Principles to maximize your dry goods storage!
- Round In Round
Utilize a turntable to organize canned goods, condiments, and other round items. A 10-inch turntable fits perfectly in most kitchen cabinets, allowing you to spin around oils and vinegars to access everything easily.
- Square In Square
Store square-edged boxes, such as pasta, in a clear, sturdy bin made for this purpose. This solution is also great for bags of beans, rice, and tea boxes, keeping your pantry tidy and accessible.
- Lighter Higher & Heavier Lower
It's crucial to store lightweight items like paper towels and snacks on higher shelves while keeping heavy items, such as large bottles of soda or water, low. This not only improves accessibility but also ensures safety.
- Lose the Liner
Unless your shelves are painted wood or wire, you can do away with liners. They can be a breeding ground for pantry moths and make cleaning more difficult. A simple wipe-down of laminate shelves is often all you need!
- Let the Store "Store" your items
Avoid overbuying; just because something is on sale doesn't mean you should stock up. Groceries often expire before you can use them, which negates any savings. Instead of wishing for more pantry space, focus on managing your inventory better.
I hope these FIVE principles help you create the perfect pantry for your healthy eating journey.
