In order to organize your kitchen properly, you must first clean it all out! I mean everything, open every drawer and cabinet and clean it out! Decide what you are going to keep and toss the rest(if possible compost first). Then clean out your fridge. Yep, get rid of all those expired salad dressings, left overs, drinks, and old fruit and vegetables that you’ve forgotten about and are now rotting in the back of your fridge. If you want to keep things simple and minimal you should also get rid of, donate, or sell kitchen appliances you never use. Once you’ve done all this you are ready to organize your kitchen!
In the pantry
Store everything in glass jars! All things such as grains, beans, flours, nuts and seeds, dried fruit, etc. could be stored in jars and breads could be stored in fabric bags. For herbs and spices you could simply use smaller glass containers!
your fridge
Once again store everything in jars! I mean, at least that’s the best way I’ve found to store things!
Appliances
Use wooden or metal kitchen utensils, such as wooden or metal spatulas and spoons, etc.
Trash Recycle Compost
Instead of having a plastic lined trash bin, switch to having a compost and recycle bin. This way you are forced to not throw anything away!
