How To Easily Organize Bakeware In Kitchen Cabinets For Convenient Storage
Do you think you'd bake more if your bakeware were easier to get out of your cabinets? Maybe yes, maybe no. However, you're more likely to find out if bread making is in your future if you could easily grab the pans you need. If your current method is more piled than planned, try a filing-type method that will make kitchen storage a breeze. Keeping pans separate and vertical with racks let them slide out with ease.
Leaning cookie sheets, muffin tins, and casserole pans against each other like you'd do with your record collection is nothing new. Being able to extract one pan from the grouping without clanging and disorder is the novelty here. Whether it's a specially-made kitchen organizer, or if you're trying an imaginative budget method, bookshelf-like storage for bakeware has lots of stress-saving potential. If this leaves too much unfilled head space over your pans, don't fret; with some strategery, you can utilize every inch of cabinet space with a few extra tips.
File your wares away
Just like you would with potentially cluttering paperwork, a wire file organizer is a cheap option for thin items like cookie sheets, baking racks, and general rectangular items like cutting boards. Set one rack like this aside just for these low-profile products. For a collection of pans in varying sizes and depths, the YouCopia StoreMore Adjustable Bakeware Rack is hard to beat. It comes with seven wire dividers that slip into slots of customizable width. The dividers fit into a plastic base equipped with non-slip pads that keep the organizer in place as you pull out a pan.
If you want to save a few bucks, borrow a method for keeping paper clutter neat and organized; zip-tie a team of inverted Dollar Tree shelf risers together for a bakeware organizer also with slots of customizable widths. While it's not as simple to rearrange the slots' spacing as it is for the YouCopia StoreMore, four shelf risers and a pack of zip ties give you the same amount of storage capability but will set you back less than half the cost of the StoreMore.
Make the most of space above the racks by dedicating one rack just for smaller items like bread pans and pie tins. This will leave overhead space for an under-shelf hanging rack for more storage. Conversely, you can set the bakeware storage rack on top of a short shelf riser that allows space to slide things beneath your baking pan filing system.
