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?

2 pans and 3 nesting pots = clean cupboard.
The cookbooks, on the other hand…I did organize recipes into a binder for a few minutes, but have a long way to go on this one. These babysteps all add up, though!!!
This was easy now have so much room
Done. 🙂
Pots and pans cleaned out. Bring on day 14…almost half way done.
Finished!!
Done!
I didn’t redo this one today, (I did it about 2 months ago), but I thought over the things I had with the goals in mind. Since I didn’t have this 5 minute task to do, I did another task: I worked on a messy spot in the back yard.
Did it a month or so ago — and it was wonderful getting rid of the old stuff — some donated and some trashed.
Done. Very easy. I don’t keep anymore than I need.
gotcha
Gotcha!
done!
Day 13 done!!!!
My sweet husband built me a drawer system for my pots and pans and so it is always organized. So, this one is done!!!
Great timing because they were falling out of the cupboard. Done.
Done – I don’t have a lot of cookware, so it didn’t take long.
Easy peasy, done!
done. Where do all the dang lids go????
Hi
This is another easy one for me too as my son was planning on moving out a few months ago so went through and gave him everything that I didn’t want that was left after my daughter moved out a year or so ago
All i had to do was neaten it up and put stuff back that had migrated t other places
Will put up pics and stuff on the blog as soon as i catch up
Luv Deb
Done! (I’m not ready to tackle my cookbooks though!)
This challenge was already been completed. Now to additional work on some of the earlier challenges that needed more than 5 minutes.
