Everyday kitchen notes
Making a pantry easier to use
Look before rearranging
Take a quick inventory of what is already on the shelf. Group items by the way you use them, rather than by the way a display might look in a photograph.
Keep labels readable
Turn labels toward the front and keep dates with their original packaging information. A simple list near the cupboard can help you avoid buying duplicates.
Leave room for change
Review the arrangement after using it for a week. Put frequently used items in a convenient place and adjust any grouping that makes everyday tasks slower.
