Organizing Your Kitchen with Proper Design and Construction |
No matter what kind of kitchen you have, getting organized can save you time, space, money and sanity. Saving time from having to look and locate the right equipments and ingredients when you are in a hurry. Saving space by having a place for each and every thing, you will be more likely to put things back where they belong; making the area less cluttered and lessen the chance for items to be misplaced. Saving money, by organizing your kitchen, you make your kitchen items accessible so the perishable foods get consumed before they are staled, spoiled, expired or infested and non perishable items are not purchased in duplication.
Every kitchen should have three distinct work areas: food storage and preparation; cooking; and clean up. Here are some points to keep your kitchen well-organized.
1 Group like items together for easy retrieval. All cereals should be together. Keeping like things together makes them easy to find and help prevent duplicate purchases.
2 Transfer flour, cereal and other dry staples to air tight see through containers that keep the bugs out, retain freshness, and make it easy to check inventory of the content level.
3 Organize your pantry to fit your buying habits and favorite recipes. Knowing that you have the basic ingredients on hands make it easy to make any meal on short notice.
4 Place items close to their point of use. Store cups and glasses near the refrigerators, ice maker, and drink maker without hampering the cook. Place pots, pans, and utensils close to the stove. Put cooking oils and sauces in proximity to the food preparation area.
5 Label everything that goes into the freezer. Put prepared meals together. Put frozen vegetables together. Put desserts together in their sections.
6 Try to stock about three days worth of food at all times. Include foods that you can use even during a power outage.
A well organized and properly thought-out kitchen will make food preparation faster and more efficient, providing storage for the items you already own as well as those you will acquire in the future, and creating well flow traffic patterns in this most popular room in the house. |
