Organizing a Small Kitchen
A kitchen makes every woman feel at home. It is a place where every woman has been ruling since ages and the saga still continues. Remember the huge range of cutlery and unwanted utensils you received on your wedding shower or as gifts from your concerned relatives and friends? Well sadly, there is not enough space left as we keep on adding vessels on the racks. Unfortunately, we stuff more than what is required or rather everything in the kitchen that looks useful.
Some might think that organizing a small kitchen might take a woman all her life to put every item on its right place. But there is nothing to worry or sigh for! You can organize your little space with effortless moves in a jiffy. For now, you have to bear it with me while we go through the a few of the most important procedures that will make your reign more respectful rather than looking a store room.
Identify your kitchen zone
We usually love to keep everything at a distance; even the most used and reused items. Make sure you settle the handiest items at a proper distance from the working space. Your working space could be further divided in food-preparation zone, baking zone, serving zone, pantry zone and let"s not forget your cleaning zone. Items belonging to each zone should be located near to the respective zones. For example, the baking zone might include products like baking powder and other necessary items.
Think and Proceed
Every move you make should be initiated with a little thought. Ask yourself if you really need the whole set of six knives? Who actually uses 3 hand can openers? Do you need more silver cutlery? Well there lies the big problem, although it is not big enough as we usually imagine. Move from one section to the other. Make a list of all the unwanted items and have a nerve to throw them out. Don"t cling on to anything that is not important. If throwing them out of your window sounds a terrible idea, give it to someone who might surely use them.
Granny Aged Products
We love to reuse the products that have skipped expiration dates and blame it on the "canned food culture" that has spoilt us. We have become lazier than ever. But here is what you need to do especially when your health is on the line. Dig in your refrigerator and check what food products need to be disposed off rather than consumed. Health always comes first. Once you fall into a habit of cleaning your pantry and refrigerator every week, you will start leading a healthy lifestyle.
Storage Thoughts
Once everything is organized and well sorted out, it is a challenge for everyone to decide the best storage place for exceptional items. The three basic principles of storing are - storage center of use, clear visibility of all supplies and easy accessibility. For instance, you can keep heavier and bulkier appliances close to the floor to avoid any mishaps. Items such as recipe books, kitchen notes and other paper materials should be stored away from burnout areas like the food-preparation and baking zone. As Ellen Cheever a kitchen expert said, "If an item hasn"t been used in two years, perhaps you should decide who you are going to give it to rather than where you are going to store it."
