It’s no wonder many people don’t like to cook. It can feel like you’re choked up in the kitchen and there’s no space to breathe let alone cook. Properly organizing your kitchen cabinets can immediately turn things around but why stop there? Follow some of these tips and organize them like a pro.
Start by storing all your spices and ingredients in transparent glass jars. Get a lot of these jars and write out labels for all the dry ingredients that you have. Not only would you be able to see the name, but also, you'll get to see what’s inside the containers and for those who love to experiment with food, this can inform a lot of your decisions.
Not only does using glass jars make the ingredients easy to see, but it also makes it extremely likely that your cabinet will always be arranged. These glass jars are also aesthetically pleasing and would add some flare to the kitchen. Don’t be too cheap with this though, it’s still inexpensive to buy high-quality glass jars with strong seals.

Give yourself a bit of comfort and save yourself the trouble of having to constantly bring things out of the cabinet just so you can get to some items that are lodged deeper inside. Do it instead by making use of a simple pullout shelf with a roller.
This way even if things are buried deep inside the cabinets you can simply pull out the shelf and have easier access without scattering the cabinet. It also prevents you from forgetting items inside the cabinet that end up never getting used. You are going to need a handyman to do this installation for you but you can be certain you’ll get your money’s worth.
There are still many hacks that are great for organizing kitchen cabinets but this idea of creating a board on the door of your cabinet with various cooking measurements inscribed in it is one of the best. Kitchen lovers who follow precise measurements would benefit even more from this. Remove the door of the cabinet and get to work creating this board by using chalkboard paint to color the inside of the door and leave it to dry.

When dry, you can install some wooden hooks and fix the door back onto the cabinet. This way, you can hang measuring cups and spoons on the wooden hooks and use chalk to write out all the possible measurements with those instruments to guide you.
For example, you can write out that a quarter cup measurement is equal to four tablespoons and hang a spoon that represents one tablespoon. Write the measurement above the spoon so you’ll know that when cooking. If the recipe book says to add a quarter of a cup, taking four scoops with the spoon gives you just that precise measurement.
