Nov 27, 2020 04:54 AM
Genius hacks and simple solutions are amazing because they make our lives easier, save time, and minimize effort. These kitchen hacks range from how to store the cutting boards properly, to the ideas of how to store and use measuring spoons and cups better. Once you start utilizing these hacks, your time spent in the kitchen will become much more efficient!
Filing your cutting boards and baking sheets
If you’re loath to waste kitchen storage space by laying cutting boards and baking sheets flat, try this solution from your local office supply store: an inexpensive metal vertical file holder is ideal for storing cutting boards and baking sheets. They not only take up less space, but are also easy to grab when you need one.
Cutting board hideaway
Conserve cabinet space by attaching two wooden napkin holders, spaced as far apart as your longest cutting board, to the underside of an upper cabinet. The napkin holders act as brackets, holding multiple stacked cutting boards.
Keeping the keys to baking in easy reach
Many cooks keep measuring cups and spoons in a drawer, where they can get buried deep among other utensils. For greater visibility and accessibility, try mounting a simple key holder near your workspace and, instead of using it to safeguard keys, hang your measuring spoons and cups from it.
Racking up the cups
Try storing metal measuring cups on a magnetic knife strip. Not only are the cups easy to access but each measurement is visible, unlike when the cups are nested together in a stack.
Measuring spoon roundup
Measuring spoons often come with flimsy rings that end up breaking. Transferring them to a simple “split” key ring keeps spoons together no matter how many times they go through the dishwasher.
Baking gear hookup
To ensure that measuring spoons and cups are always in plain view, attach adhesive hooks to the inside or outside your cabinet and hang the tools on these handy posts, ending the game of hide-and-seek once and for all.
Measures at the ready
To make sure that you always have dry measures on hand for baking projects and the like, buy a new set of measuring cups and divide your old set among your dry ingredient canisters. With the ½-cup measure right in with the flour, for instance, you’ll never want for a clean, dry measure.
A perfect fit for your thermometer.
Keep your thermometer within easy reach by slipping it into your knife-storage block. Use a drill to create a hole in a wooden knife block.
