Where’s the Cookware

Put an end to kitchen chaos by storing pots and pans where you can easily find them. You’ve got big plans tonight for dinner if only you could find the pot to make it in. The first step to ending kitchen chaos: Store pots and pans near the stove and oven for easy access. Then, stow cookware according to function. Prevent flat items like cookie sheets and cutting boards from piling up too, with tension curtain rods spaced between firmly installed shelves.

Here are more ideas we’ve cooked up: Junk Drawer No More, bring order to utensils with several plastic trays. They’ll keep your spoons and spatulas separate from your tongs and timers, so you can grab whatever you need in the heat of the moment. Tiny items, like measuring cups and spoons, won’t get lost in the fray, either, when contained in shallow bins. Stack Smart, if at all possible, don’t nest your frequently used cookware- you’ll waste time sifting through for the right size and wind up with scratches and dents.
