Cluttered Kitchens Make Preparing The Food Difficult
By Danny Gil Published: 02/01/2010
Our kitchens are easily the busiest room in our homes. From cooking and entertaining to a place for your kids to do their homework, play board games or work on their arts and crafts projects, it can be easily overrun with art supplies, outdated spices and unused or damaged utensils.
First of all, you need to get rid of stuff you no longer need. We tend to be collectors and like to store things "just in case" we might need them one day. There is no end to hoarding stuff such as empty bottles, containers and very old or broken kitchen utensils. Start by throwing out the old containers and filter out the ones that are still in good condition - give them a good wash-out.
If you have lots of pots that are taking up too much space, give them a good clean and nest them within larger pots of the same kind to free up some room. Then make sure you close the lid on the outer-most pot to make sure dust and little insects or rodents don't get inside and contaminate the pots.
Do your drawer handles look all worn out? This is a good opportunity for you to spruce up the look of your old kitchen and give it a touch of modern style. There are many places you can buy drawer pulls and knobs for your kitchen inexpensively, on the internet.
If your knives, forks and other eating utensils are stored in a cupboard, move them to a drawer near the kitchen sink or dining table so you can immediately store them after washing.
Plastic storage containers should be inventoried to ensure each has a matching lid and that they are free from cracks or other damage. Store them near your refrigerator to ease meal cleanup time.
Get yourself a rack for spices and sort them out in alphabetical order and place them close to your kitchen counter or where you normally prepare the food for cooking. This way, you'll save more time and the post-cooking cleanup will be confined to only a small area of your kitchen.
How is your pantry closet looking? Has it turned into a store room for your junk? If so then it's time to clean it out too! Go through your pantry and get rid of the old cans of food that have long passed their expiry date. You might also like to consider installing a few cabinets within your pantry if you don't currently have any. Store within them any sharp items, so your toddlers will never be able to get to them and cause harm to themselves.
Lastly, keep your kitchen counter tops free of clutter. Having a clean and organized kitchen bench top will allow you to work more quickly and easily, so you can spend more time doing the things that you really want to do (like playing with your kids). Migrate all seldom used electrical appliances to the pantry or available cupboards. - 28385
