]]> When you’re stocking up on dry goods, there’s a bit more to consider than you might think when it comes to storage. The need to be careful with your storage will depend on how quickly you use your stock. But it’s always a good idea to have at least enough substantial stuff like lentils, beans, and rice in your pantry for a few extra meals at all times, in case you’re hungry and haven’t been to the store in a while. Here’s how to store your dry goods to make them last.

Environment

Things like oxygen, sunlight, and humidity can all contribute to the degradation of dry goods’ nutritional value, flavor, and of course, safety. So it’s important to store in a dark, cool, dry place like a closed pantry inside where sunlight won’t degrade the goods. It’s also important to keep your goods stored in the air, and watertight containers to keep oxygen from degrading them. More importantly, if water gets in there is a possibility for mold growth, so it’s very important to keep the air as dry as possible and your containers sealed.

Pests

Unfortunately, some pests are very persistent when it comes to getting into containers. If you’ve never seen any kind of pantry moth or rodent anywhere in your home, and you’re planning on using your dry goods quickly, then it’s probably okay to leave them in their original packaging until you open them. However, unfortunately, many pests such as mice and even some pantry moths can chew through plastic! So if you’ll be keeping your goods around for a long time, the best thing you can do is store them in sealable glass jars. Thick, hard plastic jars or Tupperware are also a good option, but glass is best.

]]> If you want to cook more that means you will be spending more time in your kitchen. To prevent frustration over marginal things that can stand in your way when you decide to prepare a delicious meal, practice these kitchen organization habits that will help you get control over the room.

Don’t Let the Dishes Pile Up

There’s nothing worse than entering the kitchen only to find a pile of dishes from the day before‌!‌ Always wash your dishes right after using them to avoid this annoyance.

Put Away Groceries

As soon as you enter your home, you should put away the groceries you bought. If you don’t do that immediately, chances are they will end up cluttering your counter for an indefinite amount of time.

Keep Counters Clean

Speaking of the counters, aim to keep them clean and decluttered at all times. No random, non-kitchen-related items should be allowed.

Rotate Seasonal Items

There are things you only use at certain times, like lemonade pitchers for refreshing summer drinks or the cookie cutters that you use around the Christmas season. There’s no need to keep them in easily reachable places all year long.

It goes without saying that you’re going to end up stressed and unhappy if you try to make a five-course meal in 30 minutes. Be sure to know your schedule, and when you’re going to be short on time, and try to plan simpler meals in these spots.

Stay Organized

An organized kitchen is a happy kitchen. If you can’t find where your spices are when trying to cook, you’re going to stress and lose your cool. Be sure to keep your kitchen organized to reduce stress while preparing dishes.

Prepare in Advance When You Can

Work is always easier when you’ve prepared beforehand, and this applies to the kitchen too. Find yourself bored at home? Why not go ahead and chop vegetables for that big recipe that you’re planning to make tomorrow night?

]]> Do you like to use tupperware in your kitchen?

Tupperware is actually a brand name, believe it or not. Although we commonly associate the term with plastic kitchen storage boxes, it actually comes from the name of a company that invented the product.

Tupperware is commonly used in kitchens, from homes to industrial restaurant cooking spaces, for the storage and conservation of foods. Here are some reasons why it can be your best friend in the kitchen.

Organization

If your kitchen is a disorganized disaster, tupperware can help you regain order. Instead of having unmarked plastic bags or tons of open containers crowding your refrigerator or pantry, use tupperware to organize and label your foods and leftovers.

Food Preservation

Tupperware is a food storage unit that you can close, refrigerate, and freeze. This makes it perfect for preserving food for longer amounts of time. For example, if you’ve made a batch of stewed tomatoes that’s too big for one meal, you can refrigerate or freeze them in a tupperware container instead of letting it go bad.

Eco-Friendliness

Despite being made out of plastic, tupperware is still eco-friendly. Why? First, it reduces the amount of food waste created by people. Second, since they are reusable, it’s infinitely better than using plastic bags, for example.

]]> WhatsUpMoms, a parenting channel on YouTube that has over 2.5 million subscribers, posted a video showing how to organize the fridge in the best way. Here’s what we learned from it.

Before you even start thinking about how to organize the food in your fridge, you need to clean it out. It’s important to toss out leftovers regularly and watch for the expired food so your fridge doesn’t reek of unpleasant smells.

Speaking of organization in general, the golden rule is to assign a home for every item. The same goes for your fridge – assign a home for your milk, vegetables, leftovers, etc. This way, you’ll always know where to look for something and will have a good idea if you should stock up on a certain category soon.

For big families with huge, full fridges, labeling the categories may be a good idea. This will depend on the type of fridge, and if you have drawers and dividers inside it.
