Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!
In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to organize your pots and pans.
Let’s get to it.
Day 13: Organize Your Pots, Pans, and Cookware
Step 1: Empty your pots and pans cupboard onto the floor.
Step 2: Add any stray cookware that belongs here but has migrated to other kitchen locations.
Step 3: Quickly select the items you use regularly. If you have doubles, choose the one that’s in better condition.
Step 4: Throw decrepit cookware into the trash. Any doubles, or items you’ve rarely-if-ever used (do I see a Flavorwave?) can be put aside for the charity store.
Step 5: Put the pots, pans and cookware you’re keeping back into the cupboard. Make the area tidy by keeping similar items together.
Step 6: If any of your pots, pans or cookware needs replacement, make a note on your shopping list.
And you’re done!
Got an Extra 5 Minutes?
Let’s simplify your recipe collection.
- Scan your collection of cookbooks and recipes.
- Books you don’t love or use? Put them aside to donate to a friend or the library.
- Books with only a few recipes you use? Consider ripping out the pages you use to simplify your recipe library.
- Make a note to buy a binder or display folder for your loose recipes.
Now don’t you feel more inclined to cook here?

This is too easy, done. Now the cookbooks that’s another matter…need more time for that one! Thanks I’m doing well.
Done 🙂
Hubby should notice these drawers 😮
Thanks

My pots and pans are on a hanging rack (no cupboard) and my recipes are already in a binder. Done!
Done- don’t have many pots and pans so this was easy. 🙂
Done! I need better pots and pans but for now, I’ve organized the not so great ones!
Done – but I really would like a new set of pots … I’ll be putting that on my birthday list!
Did it. Got a new stove and had to clean out.
I had been putting this task off. Now it’s done – easy as pie!
PS on yesterday’s job: did the center console too. So easy – feels great when it’s done. Why do we put these jobs on hold for “some day”?
Recently did this when I moved and gave away easily half of what I had in both cookware and cookbooks. Did go through and gather a few more cookbooks to donate to the local library though!

This one was easy as I had just done most of this about a month ago when my toddler started getting into the cupboard. Was great to have another quick tidy up though and I did find a few more things to go.
Done! This is another easy one for me. I need help with the big stuff–paper clutter, kids stuff, etc, so I can’t wait for those days!
Done. But I hate the kitchen!
I did a rehaul a few years ago and replaced all of the toxic non-stick stuff with stainless and cast iron, so this job was already done! Yay, me!
Done! Thankfully I got a good start on this a couple of weeks ago!
My pots and pans were organized already so I tackled my cookbooks. I had so many that I’d been given as gifts but never used.
Couldn’t sleep so got an early start on today’s task. Now that it is done it is back to bed for me!
