I'm beginning my year by organizing and simplifying my kitchen. I decided that I had WAY too many tupperware items. The picture below shows just about everything taken out of the cabinet (there are a few items still in the fridge with leftovers):
Pixel decided that all these items looked interesting and that she wanted to check it out as well. After pulling everything out of the cabinet I worked on pairing lids and containers. I have been trying to make it so that all of my containers are the same brand. I'm slowly getting there and starting by getting rid of the "disposable" containers. I am keeping a few of them that I use for the freezer; however, these are all the same size and brand so it makes finding lids easier.
I had a few lids that I couldn't match to containers so I rubber banded them together and game myself 2 months to find their matches before just throwing them out.
Below are the "after" results. The pink and blue container are for salads and have a fork and dressing container which lock into the lid. I originally had 8 of these container sets but the lids really don't stack well so I donated 6 of them. This drawer also contains the freezer containers and the little 1/2 cup ones I use for taking yogurt to work.
The second drawer contains a giant container to hold lids (unless its actually being used), and also the Rubbermaid Premier set. I love my Rubbermaid containers; they are see through, stack nicely and also all the lids snap together. I bought the starter kit at Costco and am definitely thinking of buying a second set to replace some of the other containers.
Here is the end result. The glass and stainless steel mixing bowls fit nicely in this cabinet along with all of my Tupperware.
I HAVE YOUR MATCHING BOWLS!!!
