As the seasons change, so do our cooking habits and the way we use our kitchens. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or still learning the ropes with each recipe, having a well-organized and optimized kitchen can make all the difference.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with Symétrie, a Quebec-based company specializing in custom space organization, to bring you a guide to must-have kitchen tools and tips for getting the most out of your kitchen this season.
1. Spice storage
We’ve all been there—buying spices we think we’re out of, only to discover we already have two half-empty bags hidden away.
While our fall recipes come with pre-portioned spice blends, it’s easy to let those little packets pile up, quickly turning into a cluttered mess of expired containers.
The solution? Dedicate a neatly organized space for your spices with drawer organizers to sort your packets or containers alphabetically or by type. This way, you can quickly find what you need without rummaging through overcrowded cabinets. Plus, keeping spices away from light and humidity helps them stay fresh longer.
2. Pot and Pan Organizers
Whether you’re whipping up a stew, a family-sized pasta meal, or a comforting soup, finding the right pan or pot often turns into a noisy battle with a stack of cookware, leaving you with a mess to clean up. And since our recipes are ready in just 30 minutes to save you time, wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to spend precious minutes fighting through cluttered cabinets?
If your pots and pans are stored in a cabinet, we suggest using vertical racks. These can be angled or tilted to neatly organize cookware and make it easy to grab the one you need. Some models are adjustable to fit different sizes. No more pulling out four pans just to reach the one you actually need!
3. Drawer Dividers
Ladles, spatulas, tongs, graters, spoons, whisks… The number of kitchen tools needed to master seasonal recipes can quickly add up. While large drawers may seem like a good solution, they can become chaotic without something to separate and organize your utensils.
Drawer dividers are a must-have to optimize space, make utensils easily accessible, protect your tools, and keep everything hygienic. They create an efficient system by categorizing your kitchen tools, making your cooking experience more functional and enjoyable.
