With grocery items being added and removed constantly, and plastic packaging galore, this out-of-sight space can become the ultimate repository for clutter, making it much less inspiring when it comes to cooking.
The trick to keeping on top of the unnecessary chaos is to create a simple and efficient system that will make life much easier when you're about to cook dinner. So, if your pantry is begging to be tidied, let me share six simple tips for getting things in order.
1. Remove everything from the shelves
There's no better way to get started than to assess everything you have. Be ruthless here, if necessary. That jar of something strange-looking that you're never going to open? Toss it. Multiple cans of expired asparagus? In the bin they go. Sift through and work out what ingredients you'll (actually) use going forward, and the rest you can drop off to a local community pantry or discard if inedible.
