A well-organized pantry is a game-changer for any home chef. As you know, it's all too easy for the pantry to become an out-of-sight, out-of-mind catchall for half-empty containers, spare plastic bags, and more unnecessary clutter. No matter if you have small corner to fill or an entire kitchen closet at your disposal, designating a unique spot to store all of your canned goods, baking ingredients, and speciality kitchen appliances is important.

Check out these cupboard company suggestions at orlando home cleaning services to inspire you to get your racks in order, to make sure that cooking weeknight suppers, putting away groceries, as well as packaging treats for school lunches can ultimately be as easy as opening up the pantry door. 

Most importantly: Most of these clever ideas as well as techniques-- customized identified containers, specifically-- can operate in the remainder of your kitchen, so you can keep the arranged circulation going.

1. Designate areas for different types of food such as baked goods; breakfast items like cereal, oatmeal, jams, spreads and syrups; grains; bottled, canned and boxed beverages; tea and coffee; snacks; boxed or canned stocks; condiments; and oil and vinegar.

2. Label shelves as a reminder when unpacking or when looking for foods.

3. Keep a section of “instant” meals like mac and cheese, instant noodles, or canned or boxed soups together for those times when you need something quick.

4. If you cook a lot of ethnic foods, keep those ingredients together. For example, keep Italian ingredients like pasta, jarred tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, tomato and anchovy paste together, or group Asian ingredients like cans of coconut milk, curry paste and soy sauce.

5. If storing perishables like garlic, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and avocadoes, remove them from plastic bags and store separately in lined baskets to keep them contained and neat. Note that onions and potatoes should not be stored together — doing so makes them spoil faster. Onions, garlic and shallots will keep longer if stored in brown paper bags punched with holes for ventilation. Remember to check on these often and discard any past their prime.

6. Transfer opened containers of dried goods to clear plastic canisters, containers or glass jars that can be labeled. Maximize space by using stackable containers and bins.

7. Use clear bins, baskets or shallow wire baskets that hang underneath shelves to store bags of foods that don’t stack well. If you’re not transferring opened packages to containers, tightly roll up the bag, fasten with a rubber band and place inside a clear resealable bag to keep items fresher longer and to contain spills. Put the heavier items on the bottom so as to not crush more-delicate items.
