Ingredients (Materials Needed):
Food storage containers (plastic, glass, stainless steel, or a mix)
Lids for each container
Drawer or cabinet space
Shelf dividers or organizing bins (optional)
Label maker or masking tape and markers
Small baskets or storage boxes (optional)
Stackable or nesting containers (optional)
Instructions:
Start by Sorting:
The first step in organizing your food storage containers is to declutter. Take everything out of your cabinets, drawers, and shelves and lay them out. Sort them into categories: those with matching lids, those with missing lids, and those with no lids at all. Discard or recycle any containers that are damaged, have missing lids, or no longer serve a purpose.
Match Containers and Lids:
Pair each container with its corresponding lid. If some lids are missing or don’t fit, you may want to consider buying a set of matching lids or repurposing the containers for non-food uses, like organizing small items around the house.
