Organization is key to a well-functioning kitchen and faster meal prep. Avoid overstuffing your pantry and cabinets and streamline your collection of ingredients and appliances. Use moveable carts and a chalkboard to keep track of what you need. Keep perishable food at eye level and use turntables and square containers to maximize space. Store food in clear containers, separate wooden and metal utensils, and set up stations in your kitchen. Use a shoe organizer in your pantry and merchandise your fridge. Use a shower mat in drawers and tension rods for pans and baking sheets. Attach spices to the pantry door and avoid storing food above the stove. Use plastic file folders in the freezer and hang chips with a hanger to prevent crushing.
