An organized kitchen is a happy kitchen…and that means a happy cook. In fact, there are so many benefits that you’ll enjoy once your kitchen is organized that you’ll wish you’d gotten it all together years ago. Here are a few of those benefits and the ways you can gain them.

One benefit of an organized kitchen is that you’ll be able to find what you need more quickly when it’s time to make dinner. The Spice Stack is a simple organizer that will help you to find exactly the right spice for your favorite recipes. There are three tiers that can hold up to 27 full-size spice bottles or up to 54 half-size spice bottles. Each tier pulls out and flips down so that you can quickly see your collection of spices. It fits inside any cabinet and each drawer is color-coded so you can really get organized and get cooking.

The removal of clutter is another benefit that you will enjoy with the Under Shelf Wrap Rack. Rolls of wax paper, aluminum foil and plastic wrap can get in the way when tucked on top of the canned goods inside your pantry—you’re constantly having to move them around to find other items that you need to prepare your meal. But this rack allows you to get those rolls into their own space…a space that is usually unused. It slides easily over any cabinet or pantry shelf in seconds, so it goes to work fast.

Another benefit of organization is that it allows you make use of previously unusable space. The Slim Slide Out Pantry is a rolling cupboard that is only five inches wide. But it is deep enough to hold lots of boxes, cans or other containers of food or cooking supplies. It slides between the refrigerator and the cabinet, out of sight until you need it. That makes it doubly useful: it fits in unusable space and removes clutter from your kitchen counter or pantry shelves. Constructed of bright white plastic, it is a sturdy helpmate in your cooking area.

Make your refrigerator a more efficient storage unit when you add a Fridge Lazy Susan to one of the shelves. This coated wire carousel allows you to keep your most commonly used refrigerated items together in one area, and each one is easier to find with a simple spin. The unit installs on glass shelves via sure-grip suction cups or it can be mounted on wire shelves with locking brackets.

An organizer that protects is a special helper in a busy kitchen. The Pan Scratch Protector is a flexible, lightweight cloth liner that will protect your pots and pans, or bowls and platters from nicks and scratches when you stack them inside your cabinets or drawers. Your non-stick cookware will especially benefit from this scratch protection because it will last longer. That will save you money in the long-run, and allow you to use your favorite skillet for years to come.

Deluxe Quilted Micro Fiber Plate Cases will keep dust off your special china, meaning you won’t have to wash those plates and saucers when you bring them out for a special occasion. That is a big time-saver for any hostess or cook. There are sizes of these fabulous organizers to fit dessert or salad plates as well as dinner and saucer plates. Cushion dividers protect your special pieces, too, so you can rest assured that not only will your favorite china be clean but it will stay safe as well.

You need a trash receptacle in the kitchen and probably want a recycle bin, too. But if you don’t have a lot of room or you want to keep those containers out of sight, install the 19 IN Sliding Double Trash Can in Chrome Caddy organizer. This commercial grade chrome wire caddy installs quickly into your cabinet and then glides easily in and out. It will hold two 9 gallon waste cans, allowing you to stow your trash and/or recyclables out of sight. The chrome construction makes this a durable and strong organizer that brings you the benefit of a cleaner kitchen as well as the benefit of helping the planet!

Enjoy the benefit of beautiful décor when you install the Kitchen Pots and Pans Hanger with Rooster in your kitchen. Constructed of metal and wire, this lovely rack features delicate scrollwork and a friendly rooster—perfect for any kitchen. You can hang several pots, bowls, kettles or other utensils with handles from the coppery looking organizer. It installs easily overhead in normally unused space. It adds color and design to your kitchen, as well as convenience when it comes time to cook or clean up.
Enjoy the benefits of an organized kitchen by taking advantage of one or more of these handy products. You’ll find that your kitchen is a much happier place for all the family.
