Tips to make your pantry shipshape
and mealtimes more efficient

YOUR

p

iles of tins, bottles

and bags, half-used

goods and the odd

unidentified or out-

of-date object... If this sounds

like the grim state of your

kitchen pantry, arm yourself

with new containers, clever

caddies and storage solutions

to get you back on the well-

organised track. Here’s how.

1 SPIN A LAZY SUSAN

Avoid rummaging through

your pantry in search of the

barbie or tommy sauce for

your snags. Place a lazy Susan,

available from kitchen storage

stores, on a shelf and load

it up with bottles and jars.

Tracking down your favourite

condiment is just a spin away!

3 ADD HANDY DRAWERS

A trip to the hardware or any kitchen storage store will uncover all kinds of

space-maximising solutions that you can put to use in your pantry. These

drawers from Howards Storage World are a clever idea – you just screw the

bottom bracket to the base of your cabinet, then the drawer component

slides in and out with ease. Load it up with your container collection

and it’s always easy to retrieve items from the back of your cabinet.

2 MAKE DIVIDERS

Are your baking trays and

chopping boards forever

sliding about your pantry?

Keep them upright and

well organised with DIY

dividers. To make: cut a

series of 16mm-dia. white

rods to fit between two

shelves, then buy the

spring-loaded components

to slot in the top and

bottom of the tubes to hold

them firmly in place. Easy!
