A kitchen pantry is a wonderful thing to have. It is the perfect storage solution for all your non-perishable groceries.
Unfortunately it is also a great place to stick things that you want out of sight, and if care is not taken the pantry can become a disorganized storage area that is not pleasant to enter or easy to find what you are looking for.
Today you will tackle the pantry. Allow yourself at least one hour to complete this job. First clear off your table so that you will have a place to put everything that you will be taking out of your pantry. Yep, that's right, everything must come out.
After it is empty wipe down the shelves, and walls and sweep or vacuum the floor. Now your pantry is ready to be restocked. Discard anything that is out-of date, stale or spoiled. Remove any items that should not have been in the pantry.
If you have items that are edible, but for one reason or another will never be used place them in a box for donating to a local food pantry.
All dry goods should be in an airtight canister of some sort. Use canning jars for storing beans, pasta and so forth. Label each jar with the contents, today's date and expiration date.
Install sliding pantry drawers, new shelves, hooks, or wall mounted wire organizers.
