Kitchen Organization and Storage Every Chef Must Use
By. Darrin Reservitz

Having trouble navigating your kitchen? Does it always seem like there's been an explosion of dishes and cookware in your kitchen? If yes, then consider the following:

1.The Lazy Susan - A Cooks Best Friend

The Lazy Susan is made up of a collection of shelves, usually two or three, that can rotate. It can be found in a variety of sizes, but are often circular in nature. Some people place Lazy Susans on a table, but they can also be mounted between two cabinets. They are a great option to store small kitchen items on, including spices and commonly used utensils.

2.Hanging Pot Racks - Elegant Storage

Hanging pot racks will serve you in two ways: They'll suspend your pots and pans from the kitchen ceiling - this will give you more shelf space; and they'll look great, giving your kitchen an air of elegance.

3.Kitchen Cart - Convenience on Wheels

The kitchen cart, while not glamorous, can serve you well. Often made of wood, they can contain moveable shelves to make room for both large and small items, as well as kitchen cabinet doors and draws with which to place everything from cook books to appliances. Further, with the right cart, you could place your microwave on top of it, creating more counter space. In addition, many carts are on wheels, giving you flexibility with your kitchen layout.

4.Bakers Rack

Bakers racks are often finely crafted shelving units made of stainless steel, iron, wood or even glass. They are great to store food stuffs, utensils, pots and pans on and can be placed in an unused kitchen corner or discretely against a wall.

5.Kitchen Island

The resume of kitchen islands has expanded in recent decades. Sure, they are still used for food preparation, expanding your existing counter space, but they also can serve as a storage area for your kitchen utensils, pots, pans - whatever -with draws and cabinets. Some even contain refrigeration units, Lazy Susans, oven burners and even trash compactors, sinks and wine racks.

6.Utensil Tray

A utensil tray fits in your silverware draw to organize...yup, you guessed it...your utensils and other small kitchen tools. It's often made of plastic for easy cleaning and has various sized compartments. Although the utensil tray is small, don't underestimate its importance as it can really bring order to your cooking life and save you valuable time looking for cooking material.

With all the options to you have to organize your kitchen, you should have little trouble clearing away the clutter so you have the freedom to engage in the culinary arts!
