Optimise Your Kitchen With Larder Drawers!
Creating delicious meals can sometimes be a challenge when gathering the right ingredients and trying to pull the recipe together. But sometimes the biggest challenge in the kitchen is keeping the larder drawers straight. To get the most out of storage drawers you should strive for convenience, accessibility, and organization. Once a plan is made and put to use the kitchen will have a smooth flow and be easy to work in.
Most changes require a plan and this applies to straightening up the kitchen too. Because this is a work space, it is important to plan for use and convenience. This means using larder drawers to their best potential. For example, pots and pans that are used with the stove should be stored by the stove. Some prefer to store pans overhead or even inside the oven. This definitely gets them out of the way but you must remember to take them out before turning on the oven.
Another consideration for convenience is where the sink or dishwasher is located. Items that are cleaned several times throughout the day, such as cutlery and utensils, may be conveniently stored in larder drawers near the sink. The same could be true for cups and bowls that are used for several meals. And food items that can be damaged by heat should be stored away from the stove and oven.
Once you figure out where everything belongs in the kitchen, you want to look at the accessibility of the storage areas. In the past home owners only had cabinets and shelves, but today there are pull out larder drawers which increases the accessibility of a storage area. Pots and pans can be easily stored and with a simple pull of the draw the cook can view everything they have in the drawer. So if they are in the middle of meal prep and need an item, they can conveniently open the easy fit drawers and reach exactly what they need.
Once your storage areas are more accessible it will be easy to organize them, so pans or ingredients won't get lost at the back of the shelf. And it is easy to install sliding larder drawers. Often all you need to do is add runners to the shelves and cabinets and slide in the drawers. It generally only requires a screwdriver. Once installed you can start putting your things away in the places where they will be most convenient and accessible for cooking and meal preparation.
With a little thought and planning most people can configure their kitchen for optimal use. The important keys to remember, especially when it comes to the larder drawers, are convenience, accessibility and organization. And there are items in the stores, like easy fit drawers, that are a quick and useful update to your existing shelves and cabinets. They are also an investment, sure to be noticed by prospective home buyers if you ever decide to sell. Of course, once you experience the ease of a smooth flowing kitchen you may not want to leave.
