Since I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I want it to be organized, and I am always on the look out for creative solutions to keep my frustration level low. So, on a recent expedition through the pages of Amazon, I discovered these low-cost kitchen organizers and I want to know what you think…
SpiceStor Organizer 20 Cabinet Door Clips / Rack
$6.95
Not only does this look convenient by being right on the cabinet door, I imagine it will keep me from being frustrated since every time I reach into my cabinet, I knock over three spice bottles trying to retrieve one.
$12.72
I have my lids in a standing organizer, but there is a problem. The organizer was not designed for lids and the slide down inside it an the handles get stuck. The situation is kind of like when you have two slinkies and they get woven together. Yeah. I don’t like it.
$7.95
If my lids are going to be organized, I need to organize my pans too. Granted, I do not have a problem stacking my pans inside one another, but someone else who does the dishes in this house doesn’t nest them correctly. Know what I mean?
Better Houseware Large Organizer
$9.41
Honestly, I already have this but I love it so much that I had to share it with you. I use it to stand my cutting boards, cookie sheets, cooling racks, pie crust shields, and muffin tins. Sometimes, small bar boards do not sit well in it but for the larger items, the organizing rack works perfectly.
$9.47
I don’t know if I would like this one of the type that attaches to the cabinet door better. However, since putting a screw into our laminate cabinets takes an act of God, I am thinking that this under the shelf organizer might be the best option. No need to increase frustration while trying to eliminate it.
Oh no! I need so many of these items. I wonder if that Better Houseware Large Organizer would work with my baking stones (or if it would topple over).
Thanks so much for this post (I think!). I now have a gift wish list (which is good since family members are always asking for one). 🙂
I use a bamboo organizer for my baking stones so I am not sure. THIS ONE might be better for that.
I tried these spice bottle clips in the last place I lived… First, they kept coming down (the sticky tape on the back didn’t hold)… I had to glue them up. Also, if the spice bottle doesn’t have a narrow neck, the bottle has a tendency to slip down and out through the clip… I solved that by wrapping rubber bands around the bottles that had straight sides (most of them). Finally, the clips take the form of the size bottle put into them, so once a larger bottle has been in, it can take a long time for the clips to close up enough to hold a smaller bottle. Other than that, they were the best spice bottle solution I’ve ever had… in fact, I’m glad they’re still available… left the old ones in place when I moved.
What great tips! Thanks so much for letting us know your experience with these clips, Kathryn. 🙂
