Kitchen Pantry - Inspirations and How to Choose, Optimize and Organize

Knowing how to organize and how to assemble the perfect kitchen pantry requires some very important steps. After all, it is not enough to go around “accumulating” food in any cupboard in your kitchen. On the contrary: accumulating never fits with an organized and optimized house, right?

Thus, there is nothing better than a guide with important tips to build the perfect pantry for your home to achieve the result you want. For this reason, we invite you to follow our article to learn, once and for all, how to build the best kitchen pantry that meets all your needs.

How to assemble the perfect kitchen pantry
To assemble the perfect kitchen pantry, we need, first of all, to think about the space in your home for this purpose. For that, consider our tips below:

consider space
When we talk about space, we're not just talking about the space inside a possible pantry cabinet, per se. But yes, we are talking about your kitchen space . After all, having a small kitchen doesn't mean you can't have your own pantry.

For that, therefore, you need to plan – and very well – your pantry. Made-to-measure furniture is the most appropriate option, especially for those who live in an apartment. Thus, if you use (or still use) a common kitchen cupboard to organize food, it's time to think about the space in your kitchen. So plan as follows:

• How do you organize food today? If they are in several cabinets, the best way to organize them is to take them all out and place them on the table. Afterwards, organize all the dishes and kitchen utensils in the same cabinet, as much as possible (in an organized way, ok?). This way you will have a vision of the possible space that “left over” in your kitchen. That is, the space that is not occupied by household appliances or utensils. Now it's time to see how much space food takes up. And, with that, calculate the width and height of your pantry.
• Size needs to keep up with shelf usage! In other words, don't make the mistake of thinking that you need a huge closet, as you've been using for other utensils. After all, we are talking about food, right? So, remember that custom furniture can have many shelves, of medium height, large and small. That way it fits a lot more stuff , in a much smaller space .
• Consider usage needs
• It's no use investing in a huge pantry if it's not part of your real need. That is, it's no use making a huge closet to store food if you have lunch and dinner out. Because if you have dinner and lunch out, it means that your consumption in the market is much lower, right? Then create a compartment that serves as a stock for what you actually consume during the month. That way, with the space left over, you can use it for something else in your kitchen.

Optimizing space in your kitchen pantry
Now that you've planned the size and location of your pantry, it's time to plan your interior and organization. In order, in this way, to have the expected result.

pots and baskets
Always use, as far as possible, pots and baskets. They will serve as great organizers. Especially if the pots are transparent and labeled!

Don't overdo your shopping!
As we mentioned in the previous topic, learn to organize your purchases and, with this, not exceed your need for consumption and space used for pantry. This way you not only save space, you also save time to market and money.

Kitchen pantry - How to organize
Let's learn, now, how to organize your pantry, regardless of the size of yours.

Cleaning
When you think about purchasing a new kitchen pantry , you also need to think about cleaning it. Choose quality materials so that the cleaning procedure is quick and easy. And besides, it's always important to keep the pantry clean before organizing the interior. That being the first step on how to organize your kitchen cabinet.

Organizing pots
As we've already mentioned, organizing pots can be a great addition to your pantry. After all, you'll be able to get rid of all that space that packaging can end up using in your closet. In addition, you will have a better view of the products, optimizing your time. So, remember to always use transparent and labeled jars.

Separate by "sector"
When organizing your pantry, remember to separate food by “sector”. For example, gravy with sauce, pasta with pasta, cereal with cereal, and so on. This makes it easier to find what you need.

Forward labels
Another way to make your pantry more streamlined and organized is to place the labels straight ahead. Those products that cannot be stored in a jar, such as ready-to-eat sauce, need to be organized with the label on the front. Again, time saved.

And the validity?
Finally, a very important factor, especially when we talk about food: validity. Whenever you go shopping and, when you get home, keep those groceries, remember to put the “oldest” foods forward and the newly purchased ones further back. Thus, those closer to expiration are more accessible and will be consumed first, avoiding waste.

Now that you know everything about the kitchen pantry, it's time to discover the best models to be inspired and create the best space for your home. See the incredible inspirations we've separated for you:

RESTAURANT CART

STAINLESS STEEL RESTAURANT CART
The stainless steel restaurant cart is one of the most important items in a professional kitchen or industrial kitchen, allowing to organize work, streamline transport within the work area, facilitate internal logistics and avoid accidents.

In restaurants and industrial kitchens, carts are true wildcards, used to transport products from receiving to the displacement of different items within the professional kitchen, such as containers, vats (used in ovens, refrigerators and cold rooms), ready-made dishes, thermos bottles, pans, cauldrons, plastic boxes, sacks, bread pans, trays, barbecue, in addition to draining and transporting dishes.

An important characteristic of the stainless steel restaurant cart is that it can be easily disinfected, either by washing or by applying proper products for sanitizing and disinfecting, not spoiling and preserving its conditions.

There are different types of models Each cart model serves a different purpose. Among the main ones are:

BEFORE CHOOSING THE RESTAURANT CART
Before choosing the most suitable restaurant cart model for your establishment, it is worth checking the professional kitchen workspace:

• The path the cart will need to travel;
• Make sure there is enough space
• See the floor surface.
• The floor must be of smooth, resistant, waterproof, washable, light colors and in good condition, non-slip material, resistant to the attack of corrosive substances and that is easy to clean (washing and disinfecting), not allowing the accumulation of food or dirt. It must have a sufficient slope towards the drains, not allowing the water to become stagnant. In areas that allow existence, the drains must be siphoned, and the grids must have devices that allow closing.

CARE IN TRANSPORTING YOUR INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN

• The means of transporting food intended for human consumption, refrigerated or without refrigeration, must guarantee the integrity and quality in order to prevent contamination and deterioration of the products.
• Always take into account that equipment, furniture and utensils that come into contact with food must be made of materials that do not transmit toxic substances, odors or flavors to them, as established in specific legislation. They must be kept in an adequate state of conservation and be resistant to corrosion and repeated cleaning and disinfection operations.
• It is prohibited to keep or transport in the same compartment, ready-to-eat foods, and other foods and foreign substances that could contaminate or corrupt them; with the exception of foods packaged in hermetically sealed, impermeable and resistant containers, as long as they are not toxic products.
• When the nature of the food so requires, it should be placed on shelves and platforms, removable when necessary, in order to avoid damage and contamination.
• It is not allowed to transport food together with people and animals.
• Hygiene and disinfection methods must be adequate to the characteristics of the products and transport vehicles.
• The materials used to protect and secure the cargo (ropes, tarpaulins, plastics and others) must not constitute a source of contamination or damage to the product, and must be disinfected together with the transport vehicle. Loading and/or unloading must not represent a risk of contamination, damage or deterioration of the product and/or food raw material.
• The means of transporting the prepared food must be sanitized, and measures taken to ensure the absence of vectors and urban pests.
• Sanitation operations must be carried out by employees who are proven to be capable and frequently to guarantee the maintenance of these conditions and minimize the risk of contamination of the food.
• Taking all these precautions, you will choose the most suitable restaurant cart for your use, and still stay within the standards and regulatory body of the industry.
