Containers for Decluttering Your Kitchen
containers-kitchen<p>A disorganized kitchen is hard to work in. If you constantly find yourself rummaging through poorly packaged ingredients or dealing with bulky containers, you should look for some new ideas for organizing your kitchen.</p> <h3>Pails</h3> <p>Many food items can be purchased in large quantities, but what do you do with them when you get them home? That 25-pound bag of rolled oats will be great for breakfasts and cookies, but you probably won't need all of those oats at the same time. You can store most of them in a <a title=5 gallon pail href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/round-plastic-pails/62/#1,0&5&gallons&0&0&0&0&62&0&8&&0&0,1>5-gallon pail</a> with an easy-to-access <a title=gamma seal lid href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/item/PL100R>Gamma-Seal lid</a>. For the oats you want immediate access to in your pantry, try a <a title=1-gal plastic jar href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/item/B061>clear square container</a> with indents for easy gripping and pouring.</p> <h3>Spice Jars and Sifters</h3> <p>Spices can get cluttered and disorganized, especially if you get them from dispensers at the grocery store. You can put them in <a title=spice jar href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/plastic-spice-bottles/51/#1,0&0&0&0&0&0&0&51&0&8&list&0&0,1>spice jars</a> with <a title=sifter lids href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/spice-lids/101/#1,0&0&0&0&0&0&0&101&0&8&list&0&0,1>sifter lids</a>, labeling each container so that you can easily identify which spice is what.</p> <h3>EZ Stor Pails</h3> <p>Baking goods, including flour and sugar, come in flimsy bags that aren't meant to be reused. <a title=EZ Stor href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/ez-stors/64/#1,0&0&0&0&0&0&0&64&0&8&list&0&0,1>EZ Stor pails</a> are the perfect container for these foods. They stack nicely when filled and nest within each other when they're empty. The big <a title=EZ Stor lid href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/ez-stor-pail-lids/149/#1,0&0&0&0&0&0&0&149&0&8&list&0&0,1>lids</a> make it easy to get your measuring cups into the container to scoop out your ingredients.</p> <h3>Hex Cookie Jar</h3> <p>When you make cookies or treats, you can put them in a <a title=hex jar href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/item/J230>hex jar</a> with a lid to keep them fresh longer. They'll look great on your counter.</p> <h3>Mason Jars</h3> <p>If you're big into canning, you can use <a title=Mason jars href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/mason-jars/74/#1,0&0&0&0&0&0&0&74&0&8&list&0&0,1>Mason jars</a> as containers for your jellies, jams, preserves, salsas, or any of your other creations.

When you get a 5-gallon jug of honey, you'll find it isn't easy to use for making peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Get a <a title=honey jars href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/plastic-honey-bottles/46/#1,0&0&0&0&0&0&0&46&0&8&list&0&0,1>honey bear</a> and refill it again and again with your honey.</p> <p>There are a lot of other containers in the catalog that will help you keep your kitchen organized and easy to use.
