The kitchen is like the “heart” of a home, carrying the birth of delicious food and family laughter. However, a cluttered pantry often gives people a headache. In this blog, LEBO will show you how to organize the pantry by using food storage containers.
What Is A Food Pantry?
A pantry is a space dedicated to storing various types of food, condiments, and groceries. Its function is to keep the food neatly arranged and easy to access. The pantry is usually located in or near the kitchen, it can be a separate room, a closet, or a dedicated storage cabinet. A well-organized pantry can significantly increase the efficiency of kitchen work, reduce food waste, and ensure the safety and freshness of food.
How to Organize A Pantry？
A well-designed and managed pantry can make the kitchen tidier and more organized, and it can also ensure that food is safe and fresh. Whether it is dry goods, canned goods or condiments, the pantry can provide an ideal storage environment. So how to arrange the pantry effectively?
Organizing your pantry requires a systematic approach and a few tips to ensure that space is maximized and food is stored in an organized and fresh manner. Here are 6 steps for organizing your pantry.
Step 1: Clean out the pantry
Let’s start by cleaning the pantry and take out all the food and items. Check the expiration dates of the food and discard expired or spoiled food. Check the integrity of the food packaging and dispose of damaged or leaking packaging. Throw away food that is no longer needed and only keep the truly useful items.
Sort the remaining food by type, such as canned food, dry goods, snacks, condiments, etc. Roughly determine the storage space required for each type of food so that we can organize the pantry in a planned manner later.
Step 2: Use food storage containers
For foods that need to be sealed and preserved, such as dry foods, dried fruits, nuts, and snacks, we need to use food storage containers to store them. First, it is to isolate the food from moisture and bacteria in the air. Second, stackable food storage containers can make full use of the space in the storage room. Third, it allows us to find the food we need more efficiently.
Step 3: Labeling the food
To make it easier to find the food we need, we can use labels to mark each type of food, indicating the contents and expiration date, make it easier to find what we need quickly and avoid rummaging through the pantry.
Step 4: Location Planning
Create dedicated areas for different types of food, such as baking supplies, breakfast foods, etc. Keep each area neat and organized. Place frequently used foods in easy-to-reach locations and place infrequently used foods higher or lower. Heavy items can be placed in floor cabinets or low places, while light items can be placed in hanging cabinets or high places.
For foods that can be stored vertically, such as canned and bottled foods, try to place them vertically to make better use of space and to make it easier to check food labels. Overlap items to save space, but make sure they are easily accessible.
Step 5: Organize the food
Put the food into the pantry one by one, and arrange them vertically or separately to make sure they are stable and safe. In the process of arranging, we can make clever use of every inch of the storage room to maximize the value.
Step 6: Regular Inspection and Organization
After organizing your storage room, don’t forget to check and organize it regularly. You can also put a dehumidifier in the pantry to keep the storage room dry. Clean the storage room regularly to prevent dust and pests.
