A well organised and well stocked pantry will help you save time and money in the kitchen. It also allows your kitchen to run smoothly, avoid uneccesary spillages and unslightly out of date packages that are only usually found during a spring clean! No room for a dedicated pantry? All is not lost, Kitchen designers now offer slide out units that fit into standard base cabinet openings or gaps between cabinets. If like me, you have an unwanted space (like a cupboard under the stairs for example) then a pantry may be for you.

Place frequently used items on the front of the shelf, at eye level. Group like foods and ingredients for favorite dishes together. Why not consider having a bulletin board, shopping list or daily calendar at the back of the door for instant reminders? If you are feeling creative, paint a chalk board square for notes and reminders. Careful organization and a few personal touches will make this space invaluable.
