How to Optimize Pantry Shelving

To get the most out of your pantry shelving you need to organize it. Whether you like to cook or just do it to survive, cooking will be much easier when you optimize your pantry shelving to make it easier to store and find your kitchen essentials.

Instructions

1. The fist step in optimizing your pantry shelving is to take a look at what is there. Do you have a lot of spices,canned goods, bottles, boxes, or bags? Do you store kitchen utensils on your pantry shelves?

2. Now that you know what you store on your pantry shelving it's time to find pantry organizers to fit your needs. Go to the store and visit the pantry organizer section. For example, if you have a lot of spices, tiered spice racks allow you to see all of them easily. Pick organizers that fit your needs and your pantry shelves.

3. Are your rolls of aluminum foil and plastic wrap a jumble? Wine racks can fit on your pantry shelving and are not only for wine bottles, they also organize your rolls. They are also good for rolling pins, it keeps them from rolling around on your pantry shelves.

4. If you store glasses on your pantry shelves consider hanging a stemware rack underneath a shelf to utilize unused space.

5. The floor underneath your pantry shelving is prime space. Place a small hamper or two there to store bagged items like potato chips or boxes of cereal. This frees your pantry shelving for smaller things.
