Preparing meals is often a rushed task, with time pressing before and after. When it’s hard to find spices or other foods, containers or utensils, meal preparation times can become frustrating events. But there are plenty of kitchen organizers available to make mealtime a doddle instead of a chore.
Keep spices close to the food preparation area by storing them in the spice stack. Three-thirds of this organizer holds twenty-seven full-size spice bottles or up to fifty-four half-size bottles. A drawer pulls out from each tier and swings down on hinges so you can see what’s in it. The drawers are color-coded so you can organize your spices even better, and the entire unit fits inside a standard-size kitchen cabinet.
If you have very limited space for your spice collection, consider the Spice Clip Set. This allows you to hang your spice bottles inside a cabinet door or on the wall near your meal prep area. The three tiers hold four bottles each, so you’ll have up to twelve bottles of spices within easy reach when you rush to prepare a meal.
Kitchen pants are great places to store a large number of canned goods and other foods. But it can often be a chore to dig through what’s there to find what you need. So why not keep the items you need most on hand? The Slim Slide Out Pantry sits between the refrigerator and the kitchen counter. The wheels give it an effortless glide so you can pull it out and quickly see and grab the exact item you need.
You can fit more canned food in one cabinet when you use the 3 Tier Can Rack. These racks feature three angled shelves that allow cans to roll down; the next can is always in front. The vinyl-coated wire racks hold sixty cans, so you’ll quickly see how much space you can save with these space savers. You’ll also love how quickly you can access what you need because you can easily see and reach it.
Another organizer that allows you to quickly see and access food when preparing food is the adjustable door shelf. Hung on the inside of the pantry door, this 67-inch-tall frame features seven wire baskets, each 5 1/2-inches deep. They can hold canned goods, cereal boxes, or other food—whatever you need to get to quickly. And that means faster food prep time.
Organizers aren’t limited to cabinets or the pantry. The fridge could use a little help, too, to help you quickly find what you need when it’s time to make dinner. The Fridge Roll Out Caddy keeps food readily available. Each wheeled bin rolls smoothly on your refrigerator’s glass shelves, allowing you to pull out refrigerator-depth items for quick viewing. Made from heavy-duty plastic, these caddies are also dishwasher safe.
Install the Stackable Rolling Water Bottle Rack inside your refrigerator to free up valuable space. You can store water or soda bottles on the gravity-fed shelves so the next bottle is always in sight and within reach. Stack a couple of these shelves together and you’ll find you still have plenty of shelf space on top of the top shelf. Smaller items like tubs of butter or cream cheese will fit perfectly in there, leaving other areas of your fridge free for taller items.
Who hasn’t occasionally wished they could turn refrigerated items to see what’s behind them? Place the Fridge Lazy Susan in your refrigerator and you’ll find yourself accessing commonly used items faster than ever. No more searching for that ketchup bottle or pickle jar. And not having to rummage means you’ll be more efficient when it’s time to make condiments for lunch. And this special organizer will stay in place thanks to the suction cups on its legs.
When it’s time to prepare a meal, you also need to get to your cookware and bakeware faster. Freestanding Bakeware Holder fits inside any cabinet and allows you to organize bakeware, serving trays, or platters. Made of rust-resistant, coated steel, this stand is durable and practical.
The Lid Shelf Organizer is just as useful. It sits inside a cabinet, allowing you to organize your pot lids or plastic lids for easy access. The rack is made of thick chrome wire for sturdiness and at 12.25 inches wide, you’ll have plenty of lids within easy reach.
These days, it’s easy, cheap, and fun to organize the kitchen. And an organized kitchen means an organized cook. With the right accessories, you’ll never feel like a rushed cook again…no matter how little time you have to prepare the next meal.
