How to efficiently organise your culinary space

Arranging your kitchen efficiently can make cooking and meal preparation easier and much more enjoyable.

Most people fail to organise their kitchen in some matters based on space and time.

Proper arrangement makes it free from congestion, breakage of utensils and even unnecessary insects like cockroaches.

You may have been wondering how you can unify your kitchen right? Let me help you out.

To efficiently organise your kitchen, first, assess your kitchen layout.

Take a look at your kitchen and identify the available storage spaces which include the cupboards, drawers, shelves and store.

Consider the proximity of these storage areas to your cooking and preparation areas.

Second, clean your items. Make sure that unused items are removed. All broken and expired items should be removed and get disposed of to create space. Then wipe down all surfaces, shelves and drawers to create a clean slate.

The next thing is to categorise your items. Sort your kitchen items into categories such as cooking utensils, baking supplies, pots and pans, spices, canned goods and many more.

Avoid mixing items because some spices can pour on the floor or even some utensils can break when you look for something.

Proper categorising will help identify the appropriate storage space for each category.

Lastly, allocate storage space. Assign specific storage areas for each category based on their frequency of use and accessibility.

Keep frequently used items within reach, and place less frequently used items in higher or lower storage areas.

Utilise organisers and containers where your items are stored. Drawer dividers can help keep utensils and small tools separated.

Always wipe your kitchen where there is dirt and wipe your surfaces with a detergent frequently, ensuring that the surface is dry.

Also, clear your bins where dirt is disposed and kitchen refuse to avoid flies in the kitchen.
