If you're lucky enough to have a pantry in your home, you've probably run into issues with being able to find the food you're looking for when you're ready to cook it up. A pantry organizer ensures that everything is easy to find and that you're aware of when foods are going to expire so you don't accidentally account for food that is no longer good.
Copco 3-tier pantry organizer
Different levels of foods
This multi-shelf system puts everything on display.
Pros:
- No setup
- Lightweight
- Fun colors
Cons:
- Narrow shelves
When you line items up on a shelf, it’s easy to miss things at the back when perusing your pantry goods. This multi-tier organizer from Copco keeps spices, cans, or other containers on its 2.75-inch deep shelves so you can see it all. It comes in multiple colors and would be useful in other areas of your home, as well.
ClosetMaid adjustable wall and door rack
Makes use of neglected space
Squeeze in a few extra foods with customizable mounted baskets.
Pros:
- Uses vertical space
- Lots of baskets
- Fully adjustable
Cons:
- Both mounting options require screws
Available in 12 or 18-inch-wide options, this pantry organizer takes the form of a slim rack. There are baskets for items large and small, all of which can be adjusted to fit your foods. The wires of each basket are close together, which prevents small items from falling over or onto the floor.
SimpleHouseware stackable can organizer
No more unstable stacks
Angled dispenser serves up the next can in line.
Pros:
- Holds up to 36 cans
- Adjustable to can sizes
- Stackable
Cons:
- Difficult to assemble
Stocking up on canned goods when they're on sale is great for your wallet but leaves you with lots of heavy items to organize in your pantry. This can organizer allows you to easily maintain the rules of “first in, first out.” As you pull a can from the front, another will travel down the angled rack. There are also adjustable dividers on each shelf, and you can choose from four finish options.
SimpleHouseware hanging pantry organizer
Clear pockets make contents easy to see
Add 15 pockets to your door to store foods and spices.
Pros:
- No additional hardware required
- Easy to relocate
Cons:
- May need to replace hooks with a larger version
When you have lots of little spice bottles in your kitchen, finding the right one in the moment can be difficult. This pantry organizer has plenty of pockets to give each spice type a spot. It hangs 52-inches tall and 18-inches wide and attaches with hooks that sit on the edge of the door.
mDesign kitchen cabinet organizer
Almost invisible storage bins
Clear baskets keep each label in sight.
Ptos:
- Modern look
- Good for small items
- Stackable
Cons:
- Labels may not remove easily
Keep your smallest pantry items together with these solid, clear bins from mDesign. Available in multiple sizes, these bins are made with shatter-resistant plastic that doesn’t contain BPA and chlorine. Small feet on the bottom allow you to stack these organizers to create a custom configuration in your pantry.
YouCopia crazy susan kitchen cabinet turntable
Turns to show you foods farthest from you
Spin spices toward the front for easy access.
Pros:
- Dividers for additional organizing
- Fast setup
Cons:
- Containers may be fragile
You won’t need to reach over items on your shelf if you can move them towards you with this updated lazy susan. It is 10.4-inches across and 4.1-inches high, fitting in more standard cabinets. The dividers can be removed individually with their handles, so you can grab a collection of spices at once.
Filled with foods
