  • Cleaning out the Pantry

    Yesterday DH and I cleaned out the kitchen pantry. We had to corral the plastic drink bottles, (too many IMHO), and put all the plastic containers in order. Phew! That was a big job in itself. Next we had several bags of tortillas, chips, peanuts, etc., so we just combined those to make a good full snack jar. I have big glass jars and gallon plastic jars. I have stuff like Pasta in the glass so it will stay moth free. We put all the pouch items in a box to keep it organized. I have a shelf in there to put all the canned goods on. I have a large wire basket for the potatoes and onions.

    It looks so much better and I can see exactly what I need and grab it. The main thing is that it's clean and tidy. I like that.

    Do you have a kitchen pantry? I used to rent an old house in Lexington, KY and it had a pantry, but no shelving. It was so cold out there that I didn't use it. My grandmother had a pantry and she put her crocks of pickles in there and stuff like big cans of Molasses and the butter churn and a large turkey roaster. Hers had a pretty curtain over the doorway instead of a door.

    Anyway only 3 houses that we have lived in have had a pantry. I think they are a must. What are your thoughts on the matter?

      My husband says I have enough to open a small grocery store. I "stock up" when there are good sales. I have those 6' tall sturdy metal shelving units and create a pantry wherever we live. I've had pantries in some places and others I haven't. When we looked at this house there is this strange small room close to the kitchen, and as soon as we saw it, Becca & I both said "PANTRY!". I love it. I not only have food stuff, I also have one of my big upright freezers in there.

        Good for you Cookielady, because being in the baking biz you need a bunch of inventory at all times. I like those metal shelves. I have one in the pantry that I painted bright red. Pretty!
