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?

I did this job a couple of weeks ago when I did a spring clean of the kitchen and put everything back in its place. Didn’t have anything in my kitchen that I wanted to part with as I tend to use most items because I do love cooking.
Done
Done! Yay!
Done, Done!!
Done! It’s so much easier to handle when there isn’t so much stuff! Yay for decluttering!
Done! I wonder if I can tackle the Tupperware cupboard before the end of the month as well – definitely more than a 5 min job!! haha
Just finished doing this. Had 1/4 left for today.
Done 🙂 A bit hard cathing up, since I started several days in…..
Done. This is usually tidy.
Done!
Looks much better! I bought dh some new cookware for Christmas (he’s the cook & asked for it) so we didn’t have any extras.
done – not so easy but much needed
Hmmmmm… I did this one yesterday, but it wouldn’t accept my comment. Trying again, hopefully it goes through this time!
Done
Complete 🙂

I’m always challenged in this department. But I’m determined to become disciplined and handle each piece of paper as few times as possible–not just shuffle it around! Thanks for the quick ogranization tips!
Pots and pans are de-cluttered!
Did this last weekend! I do a LOT of casserole-making, so regardless of how pretty it is, pretty much everything in the cabinet gets used.
today the push was to get our taxes done so only had 5 min. will have to finish this job later.
FInished!!
