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?

Finished!
We just finished the remodel on our kitchen last week .so I already have this done . I boxed up about 3 boxes of kitchen ware that I no longer need or use.
Not much to do here, but I did manage to get rid of 3 items. =)
Task #13 done!
Done!
Done, I follow a recipe about once a month, not necessarily a different one, but I still had a huge binder full of them, a box, and 4 books. :-O
Altho I didn’t need much help in this department… It’s done! 🙂 (from fb post cause I just saw those don’t count.. :(… )
Forgot to post yesterday – this is already done when I moved! But I did note that I have two pots that probably need replaced soon.
Got my tupperware, too!
Done!

I only have pots and pans that we use regularly, so I tidied up the cookbooks a bit. My ongoing project is to organize the recipes that I cut out of magazines. I try to do a little bit each week.
Done
finished, long busy day but task done before bed
Can’t say that this mission took all that long- my pots and pans have been a “sore” state and have wanted replacing badly for some time now. This gave me a good excuse to toss, as I generally have a hard rime parting with those things that’s are still serviceable , even if they are as ugly as sin. I’ve been putting off the replacement of my stock of cooking utensils- this mission gave me the impetus I have been needing to throw it all out and to start over with something new and beautiful in my life! Shopping this weekend! Whoever knew that shopping for pots and pans would bring me so much joy! Ha!
Done.
Nice easy one! Done. BTW. If I only want one or two recipes from a magazine or book I scan them into my laptop and pass on or throw the magazine or book. Keeps the number of recipe books and loose recipes down to the ones I really want!
All done! This one was pretty easy so I organized the cookbooks too! 🙂
done!
