However, it\u2019s not an easy step for everyone. Organization is a skill that takes practice. Furthermore, kitchen cupboards involve fitting many differently-shaped items, all with different uses and levels of importance. It\u2019s not as straightforward as packing things into a box for later; the contents of your cupboards need to remain accessible by priority. So, here are some tricks for organizing your kitchen cupboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Useful Backstock Only<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in organizing your kitchen cupboards is to only keep backstock that\u2019s useful. What is backstock? It\u2019s all of that food you keep around because you\u2019ll use it one day, but not all today. Canned veggies and bags of rice are great backstock for when you want to make soup one rainy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a huge chunk of people\u2019s cupboard space is often overtaken by backstock food items. If you can never seem to make room for new groceries, and you can\u2019t really figure out why, there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s that you simply have too much backstock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To cut down on how much space is taken up by backstock, start by checking expiration dates. You\u2019ll be surprised how many things have been sitting untouched for 5 years.Yes &#8211; even when you swear you didn\u2019t buy them that long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After removing expired foods, if you still have quite a few boxes of instant food or canned items, pull some of it out for use this week. Make 3 recipe piles on your counter and pile some backstock food into them. This week, you can surely use some of it up by making soup, chili, a rice dish, or some other food that uses lots of preserved food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Separating Spices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes people make with their cupboard space is keeping their spices with everything else. Separate your spices. No matter how you cut it, spices do not stack well. Trying to find what you\u2019re looking for will lead to knocking over stacks and making an organizational disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, opt for a wire spice rack that can be mounted on the pantry well. Another option is a countertop spice rack &#8211; maybe one that swivels. But, perhaps our favorite method of storage: use a drawer. A shallow drawer that isn\u2019t big enough for much else is great for storing spices. Lay them down so their labels face up and line them up in your drawer. Finding spices will become easy as pie and they won\u2019t fall all over while you look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storing Appliances Outside the Pantry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another mistake that\u2019s commonly made is storing appliances in the pantry. Organizing your kitchen cupboards becomes way easier when you don\u2019t have to navigate around a crockpot. If you have a tall pantry as well as cabinets, store appliances in lower cabinets or on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keystonehomeproducts.com\/wire-shelving\/\">wire rack<\/a> instead of in the pantry. The pantry is easier to access than lower cupboards, so it should be used for food, which you need more often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping your kitchen cupboards organized is the first step to enjoying using your kitchen.
