How To Organize Kitchen Drawers

What do you have in your kitchen drawers? Really, be honest, are there garlic bulbs mixed up with cooking utensils and swimming goggles in with the dish towels? There were in mine! Oh dear.

Drawers are premium space in a kitchen, especially those in your 5 activity zones. So don t let them be a dumping ground. If you can t open or close them properly or find what you need at a glance, you need some kitchen drawer organization. So where do you start?

Essentials that should be stored in a drawer are cutlery, utensils, food storage bags, plastic wrap and foil, dish towels and small accessories.

Cooking knives are the only real exception. which should be kept out of the drawer:

• (i) to stop anyone cutting themselves; and
• (ii) to keep the knives from going blunt more often by bumping into other contents.

Use a magnetic knife strip to keep them handy but off of the countertop to help with your kitchen counter organization .
