Organizing Your Kitchen For Optimum Efficiency

Whether it is the rack where you store keema masala, pav bhaji masala, chicken masala, etc. or the place where you store all your grains and flours, organising your kitchen should be a painstaking process that can take easily a day out of your important life. In this article, we will cover a lot of tips and tricks that will help you plan your kitchen better so that cooking becomes even more pleasurable and easy for you!

Rule Number 1: Always, always, always wash your vessels on the go. Nothing stinks up a kitchen as bad as a sink full of dirty vessels! Not only does it invite cockroaches and other insects in your kitchen, but it also makes the kitchen look unclean. Wash them as you use them, soaking them in water if they can’t be cleaned immediately, and you will thank us every single day!

Rule Number 2: A labeller is your best friend. We are all guilty of mixing up paneer masala with bhurji masala at least once in our lives. It’s natural, most of us are cooking too quickly to be able to tell apart the spice containers at the drop of a second. Hence, we suggest you use a labeller in EVERYTHING you keep in your kitchen - rava can look like maida sometimes, and none of us want to mix those up! Invest in a good labeller and make your cooking life smooth!

Rule Number 3: Size matters. Whether it is all your teapots, or the bowls, or non-stick pans, or the tools and big spoons you use, keep everything according to their sizes. Keep them in ascending or descending order, whichever helps you save more space. It takes very little time to ensure these things stay that way and saves you a lot of times when it comes to finding these things when you actually need them!

Rule Number 4: Multitask your way up. Most home chefs are divided whether or not they should multi-task, and most amateurs are scared of doing it lest they mess up. We suggest gradually increasing the levels at which you multitask and work your way through several steps to ensure that you can do it smoothly. When you finally achieve proficiency in doing that, you will feel very proud of yourself.
