How to maintain a perfect pantry

An organized pantry doesn't just look better. It also makes shopping easier, helps you find food quickly, and allows you to make much better use of every shelf.

Start by taking everything out

Before organizing, remove products from cabinets and check best-before dates.

Group foods by category:

  • Pasta and rice.
  • Cereals.
  • Legumes.
  • Canned goods.
  • Snacks.
  • Spices.
  • Breakfast products.

Use containers when practical

Transparent containers allow you to quickly see how much of each food is left.

In addition, using similar formats can achieve a much more uniform appearance.

Take advantage of height

Not all products need to occupy the same space.

Use auxiliary shelves to create different heights and make better use of the inside of the cabinets.

Label when necessary

Labels are especially useful when you use opaque containers or have many similar products.

Place what you use most often in front

Frequently consumed foods should be in the most accessible areas.

Products you use occasionally can occupy the upper or rear areas.

Do a small periodic review

Once a month, review the pantry.

Remove empty products and reorganize anything that has moved.

An organized pantry also saves time

When everything has its place, preparing a meal or making a shopping list becomes much simpler.
