    After you’ve cleared clutter in your kitchen and pantry and have assigned homes to the items you’ll keep in these areas, you can consider whether or not you need products (to go along with some new habits) to help you stay organized. There are so many fabulous kitchen & pantry organizing products available today.  The selection can be quite overwhelming.  To make your shopping experience a little easier, we’d like to share some of our favorite organizing products with you.  Many of these products are available at Storables or on our website:

    Expandable 3-tier cabinet shelf - these are great for storing items like canned goods, spices and condiments.  They allow you to easily see what you have.

    Wire cabinet shelf - Do you need more space for storing mugs, plates or white-cabinet-shelfbowls?  This wire shelf will maximize your storage space and minimize clutter.  Store twice the mugs, plates or bowls in the same space you have now.

    Divided pantry bin - This is perfect for storing small items like seasoning packets & tea bags.divided-pantry-bin

    Plastic Storage Baskets - Use small to medium sized storage-basket2baskets to store loose food items in your pantry.  You can store items like pasta, rice and crackers in separate bins with individual labels. 

    Quilted dinnerware protectors - great for storing china or special occasion dishes.  These quilted protectors come in an assortment of shapes and sizes to accomodate all of your dishes.dinnerware-protectors

    foldable-stepstoolFoldable stepstool - this is a must-have for anyone who has a few kitchen cabinets or pantry shelves that are out of reach.  This stepstool folds up nicely making it very portable and easy to store. 

    Turntables – these work great in corner cabinets or on pantry shelves to store items like seasonings & canned foods.  kitchen-bamboo-turntable

    expandable-utensil-organizerExpandable utensil organizers – we strongly recommend using a utensil drawer organizer for silverware & other kitchen utensils.  Don’t waste any more time searching for that long lost wooden spoon in your cluttered utensil drawer.

    Recipe Nest - Stores full page recipes straight from your printer, recipe-nest3magazines or your hand written notes.  No more punching holes, cutting or copying recipe cards.  This product combines the best features of a recipe binder and a recipe box and adds a clip on easel for greater functionality. For more information, check out our blog post  on this product.

    meal-planning-made-easy-system2Meal Planning Made Easy System - this is an easy-to-use system for anyone who struggles with meal planning and prep. We’ve written more about this in a previous blog post. For less than the cost of a pizza, this will save you time, money and stress week after week.

     These are just a few of our favorites.  What product could you not live without in your kitchen or pantry?

    Let us know if you have any questions about these products or if you would like additonal recommendations.  We would love to be a resource for you!
