A mess isn't it? I have been wanting to tackle this mess of a seasoning pantry for a while. Since I am on spring break from work this week, I decided that today was the day. Yesterday we went to IKEA and I bought some pantry organizing items. Today I took everything out of the pantry and wrote down what I had. I also checked best if used by dates. Yikes, there were some pretty old ones in there, so they were thrown out. I bought a nice little shelf that gave me some extra room. Here is the result.
Ahh.... so much better!!
I love the white container I found at IKEA. I put all of my baking items in there, like baking soda, cornstarch, cooking sprays so when I need it, it is all in one spot.
I also found this nice glass containers for spices. I got 8, but only have 5 filled. I put the spices I used the most in these. You can also see the white shelf that I bought. It made a huge difference in what I am able to fit and be able to see and get to easily!
I also made this spread sheet on my computer. I listed all the items that I currently have and how many. This will make finding if I have a certain seasoning much quicker than looking through the pantry.
I also used another one of the white containers to put all of our teas and drink mixes in. I also purchased a 24 piece food storage system and got rid of all the plastic rubbermaid containers. Looking forward to using them!
