Are you constantly searching for food items in your pantry but you can’t seem to find them? Don’t those non-stackable half opened bagged beans, pastas, and flour get in the way? Taking the time declutter and reorganize your pantry will save you and your family a lot of time and money! Follow these tips to help you save time in the kitchen.
Declutter – The first to step to organizing the pantry is to get rid of old and expired food that you know you and your family will not eat. If you have extra food that you know that your family will no longer eat then you can always donate it to your local food bank.
Categorize – Next, categorize the remaining food. Here are come common major categories: dry goods, canned goods and jars, boxed items, spices, beverages, and lastly pet food and treats. Once you have categorized you might come across duplicates of certain items.
Pantry Inventory – Make a pantry inventory list so you know what you have. Using and inventory list will help keep you organized in the future because you will not run out of staple items.
Organize and Containerize Your Food – Now that you have everything categorized, put everything back away in organized containers. Do this by removing all packaging and using stackable containers or mason jars. You do not want open food containers because that will attract pests.
Mason Jar Chalk Labels – Storing your grains like rice, and quinoa in mason jars is a great way to keep track of how much you have and makes for a pretty display as well. All you need is chalkboard paint, painters tape, and chalk. Write the contents of your jars on the label and attach them to either the front or on top of the mason jars. Don’t forget add the cooking time and liquid ratios to the label!
Organizing your pantry is easier than you think! Let us know if you have pantry storage tips you would like to share.
