Keeping the kitchen tidy makes cooking easier. When the dishes are in their places and there are no unused items in the cabinets, the kitchen becomes functional. But some things are limiting this valuable space. It’s time to get rid of them and provide enough space in the kitchen to eat and cook. What is the first thing to get rid of in the kitchen?
Expired goods
If you look at our kitchen cabinets, it turns out that up to 50 percent of our products can be obsolete. We are talking about various types of cereals, ready-made sauces, spices or instant meals. It is not worth keeping them, because they can harm someone. It is even worse when, for example, medicines are outdated. Therefore, check the contents of your cabinets as soon as possible and throw away anything that is no longer suitable for consumption.
Old plastic food containers
Nothing clutters a kitchen like excess plastic containers. In addition, half of them may not have a suitable lid. Throw away any mismatched items that take up valuable cabinet space.
Extra cups
Mugs are obtained either for a birthday, or for February 14, or for the New Year. While they are pleasing to the eye, sometimes you can get too many of them. There are sure to be cups in your closet that you haven’t used in over a year. Well, somehow you don’t drink cold tea from a mug with Santa in the summer, right? So what does it mean to litter the place with them? Share with someone who might need them if they are in good condition. Start by taking out all the cups and leaving only the ones that you actually use. But if there are a lot of gift cups, then a good idea is to make a mini-exhibition of them in the kitchen. Hang hooks and arrange your collection.
Damaged dishes
Perhaps you have chipped plates in your cupboards, a rusty coffee grinder, an old meat grinder. If they’ve been around for years and you haven’t used them in the past 24 months, it’s definitely time to pass them on to someone. And do not entertain yourself with illusions that you are about to need them too. Unfortunately no.
Cookbooks
The intentions, of course, were good: to develop skills and learn culinary secrets. However, in practice, many books in our kitchen are only gathering dust, and when we cook something, we already use culinary sites. Our eating habits change, new foods appear, and old books simply fail to reflect these trends. Perhaps there is a neighbor grandmother whom they would be more suitable?
More space in the kitchen means more room for your culinary creativity! And you should be critical of every centimeter of valuable space. Don’t be afraid to get rid of unnecessary things. The main thing is, first of all, think about who could use it.
