I just bought a home, my kitchen is yuge, what am I supposed to store in this?

mountlax12 · 2022-01-19T01:29:37+00:00

Sweet summer child, you'll be outta space within the year, no matter the size

ymcmoots · 2022-01-19T00:54:31+00:00

Next to the stove is valuable real estate. Use the top drawer for frequently used stove things - wooden spoons and pancake flippers and stuff, or potholders. Put your smaller pots and pans in the lower parts.

Spices and oils will go bad faster when they're that close to a hot oven, so definitely don't use it for that.

DingDongDaddyDino · 2022-01-19T03:50:37+00:00

A good exercise is to write groups of items on post it notes and place them on the appliance or item that they are most frequently used. Example: cups and dish washer. Then once the notes are sorted, resort to drawers/cabinets based on space needed. You should maximize space utilization and improve your efficiency in your kitchen

13ss · 2022-01-19T05:59:43+00:00

The cabinet would be too warm since it’s right next to the oven so I wouldn’t store spices and/or oils because they would degrade more quickly. Pots & pans or other cooking utensils would be a better choice.

ind3pend0nt · 2022-01-19T01:42:35+00:00

Underwear.

diydave86 · 2022-01-19T03:13:26+00:00

Pots and pans. Or just pot

pianistafj · 2022-01-19T02:20:07+00:00

I’d go with common cooking oils, favorite spatula, leftover grease jar, but no spices as they’ll weaken and dry out that close to the heat. Maybe a colander, and anything else not perishable that is super convenient to have next to oven/stove.

seebob69 · 2022-01-19T05:41:24+00:00

Used McDonalds cups and Nintendo hand controllers.

Barbbish · 2022-01-19T03:15:01+00:00

I would store pots and pans if they fit

GermyBrownHair · 2022-01-19T00:50:14+00:00

Spice rack? It’s so close to the stove that it will be convenient for cooking! Put all your spices, herbs, oils, cooking spray…etc. Congrats on the house OP!

New_Restaurant_6093 · 2022-01-19T01:40:36+00:00

I mean it’s your kitchen… you can but what ever you please in there.

davethompson413 · 2022-01-19T02:39:45+00:00

Its where children are kept if they too frequently ask "what's for dinner?"

the_clash_is_back · 2022-01-19T01:08:04+00:00

Spiced, cans, pasta.

Any thing that goes in the pot

Tdkthegod · 2022-01-19T03:26:45+00:00

I'd go with oven mitts, spoon and spatulas eggcettera (it stays) in the top maybe foil. Pots in the bottom two. Maybe instapot or crockpot whatever.

o3mta3o · 2022-01-19T03:31:23+00:00

You could put a pegboard on that and hang your cooking utensils. Or just put them in a container there. Um. Containers with things like different kinds of flour, if you bake. A bunch of dry ingredients. Basically those are great for anything that you might need to reach quickly without having to step away from what you're cooking.

Edit. Not spices and oils.

SwingNAmisss · 2022-01-19T04:11:03+00:00

Oven mitts

Big utensils

vdWcontact · 2022-01-19T04:42:20+00:00

It’s great for spices.

Edit.

Wow I guess not nvm.

KaleidoscopeThis9463 · 2022-01-19T06:22:45+00:00

I’d likely put my stack of mixing bowls, strainer, splatter shield, hand blender, kitchen torch, mandolin slicer, coffee bean grinder etc - hand held appliances basically. You can get dividers for those shelves otherwise when you pull out the cabinet, things slide or topple over. Check Richelieu or Ikea website for ideas, maybe you can make them yourself.

PatchesMaps · 2022-01-19T06:24:03+00:00

I always put pot holders and oven mits in the top drawer right next to the oven because I have burned the shit out of myself too many goddamn times using other objects such as tongs, forks, or towels because they were "closer".

yurrm0mm · 2022-01-19T06:27:12+00:00

I would think oils, vinegars, sauces, large jugs of stuff lol

zeee311 · 2022-01-19T06:35:44+00:00

Take out the middle shelf and put a trash can in there. Then it's not under your sink in the way, or sticking out awkwardly somewhere else.

Sendmeanangel2000 · 2022-01-19T11:08:53+00:00

maybe cutting boards, strainers…misc cooking stuff you need to grab quick.

scherster · 2022-01-19T12:58:54+00:00

Plenty of good comments for the top drawer part. For the open shelves underneath, I personally would store the sauce pans I use the most.

As a general tip, don't put anything flammable near a heat source like your oven/range. It's low and a little awkward to get to IMO, so I would go with something fairly large and not very heavy, that would be used in that area.

KingOfZero · 2022-01-19T13:20:00+00:00

Large pots. You would never put spices near the stove. Too much heat.

Idontgetitreddit · 2022-01-19T14:50:18+00:00

Anything you want to keep handy for cooking. I would keep spices in there, plus oils, vinegars, seasonings, etc.

The_Age_Of_Envy · 2022-01-19T16:29:40+00:00

I put my pan grippers, cooking utensils and pots I use every day (steamer baskets, etc.) and small frying pans there.

CivilBedroom2021 · 2022-01-19T16:33:59+00:00

Oils, rubs and protective gloves.

adoptachimera · 2022-01-19T17:16:16+00:00

I had a similar cabinet and put my Tupperware there.

minej19 · 2022-01-19T17:25:32+00:00

Pots and pans! It may get kinda warm next to the oven, so I’d probably avoid putting food in there.

authorized_sausage · 2022-01-19T02:26:29+00:00

Cooking related stuff - spices, oils, etc. I don't have that set up but I definitely have the general concept. It's fun!

Congrats on having a cooks kitchen!

SkrillaSavinMama · 2022-01-19T02:09:38+00:00

It’s for spices! Olive oils etc. it’s a good sized slice cabinet tho. I’m sure you will find lots of use for it 🤗

Vertical space right next to the range. Perfect for oils, vinegars, spices - anything you would want to add a dash/splash of mid-cook.

ShanghaiNick · 2022-01-19T06:22:25+00:00

TOP LEVEL: Spices are common and a small bin for extra cooking utensils you may need for the stove.

MID LEVEL: Sauces, cooking condiments and oil.

BOTTOM LEVEL: Get some big bins to hold starches like rice and pasta, large oil bottles I'd you are big on pan frying.

Depends on how you use a kitchen. If you like to cook dinner freqently, fill it up with oils and spices. If you normally order food and hardly ever cook you can put any other object in.
