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?

All done now.

Did this about a month ago, but went through again and made sure it was still tidy. Looked at the extra 5 minutes jobs but that would be way too long. My recipe collection is a work in progress. I have loads of loose pages that I have to go through and sort and stick into a book. Have done a bit on this task in the last month so I’m sorting through my diary/planner instead today. 🙂

Done !
Done, but was already as good as organized.
Did this a while ago, so done!
I don’t have enough pots and pans to worry about. Most of what I have could use replacing, but considering we don’t have the money right now it’s good enough.
All done migh do the cookbooks later. I only have a couple. Done.
I am done, but it was easy as that is one area that I keep on top of (most of the time).
done. We moved 2 years ago and I have been pretty diligent about what gets added to the cabinet.
done, bright and early this morning!
Done!
Finally was able to get rid of a pot that has been dying for a long time. Who knows how long it would have taken had it not been for this challenge. Thanks! Done.

Done, getting ready for summer entertaining & this helps a lot. Now I know what I have and where it is, & what I don’t have and need to shop for. All the good recipes are in 1 binder and the rest of the books are going to the school book sale. Yea, I have an extra cabinet in my kitchen now. Thanks!
Pots and pans as well as cookbooks were done with the move.
Did this one when we did the cookware! 1 step ahead of the game
