TECHNIQUES IN STORING CLEANED KITCHEN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

Proper Storage of Kitchen Tools and Equipment
Proper storage and handling of cleaned and sanitized equipment
and utensils are very important to prevent recontamination prior to use.
Cleaned and sanitized equipment and utensils must be:
 stored in clean storage areas; and
 handled properly to minimize contamination of food contact surface.
Store all tools and equipment in their designated places. Put
frequently used items in conveniently accessible locations. Gather and
secure electrical cords to prevent entanglement or snagging. Source: https://www.thespruce.com/what-to-

Store kitchen equipment in cupboards or drawers where they will not collect dust and grime.
Before storing kitchen equipment, disinfect storage receptacles and shelving with a commercial
disinfectant or with a solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach to 1 gallon of water. You can also use vinegar
heated to 150 degrees as a milder and less expensive alternative. Ensure that dishes and equipment
have been cleaned and dried completely before storing them.

General Kitchen Equipment Storage Tips

Proper storage and stacking of kitchen tools, utensils and equipment can make it infinitely
easier to find what you need and to retrieve it easily. If you feel like you're re-enacting a bad infomercial
every time you open a cupboard because lids fall out onto you, then getting organized can make your
time in the kitchen far less stressful.
Follow just a few simple steps in storing kitchen tools and equipment. To start, make sure you
only store clean and sanitized equipment. Next, try to have dedicated cupboards and drawers. For
example, keep all of your Tupperware stacked together in a single drawer or cupboard. Keep lids
organized in another area within easy reach, instead of mixing the two together.
Don't be afraid to subdivide your cupboards and drawers with baskets or organizers. Take
advantage of over-the-door lid racks to organize your pot lids, keeping them out of the way but within
reach. Also, think about what you frequently use and make sure it's easy to grab, such as your favorite
spices.

Proper Storing and Stacking of Kitchen Utensils

When it comes to kitchen utensils, you can choose to hang them from hooks near your stove so
that you can quickly grab what you need. Try to keep them out of range of stove splatter, though, so
that they remain clean. Knife blocks or magnets should be stored near where you do your chopping.

Another option for frequently used kitchen utensils is to set them in an open-mouthed jar on the
counter. Or, to keep them completely tucked away, organize them within a drawer. Subdivide the
drawer, and don't be afraid to have more than one utensil drawer for maximum organization.

9 Steps in Organizing Kitchen Cabinets

Pretend it has a glass door and that everyone is going to see what’s inside.
1. Remove all the equipment and scrub shelves with soapy water.
2. Think about what you reach most often and make sure it gets a position that’s easy to reach.
3. Take a cabinet full of glasses and line them up by color. Make sure all of the front are facing out and
straight. (Jeff Lewis-Style)
4. Take a step back after one shelf is done and make someone else look at what you’ve done.
5. They should be stored in a clean dry place adequately protected against vermin and other sources of
contamination
6. Cups, bowls, and glasses must be inverted for storage.
7. When not stored in closed cupboards or lockers, utensils and containers must be covered or inverted
whenever possible. Utensils must be stored on the bottom shelves of open cabinets below the
working top level.
8. Racks, trays and shelves must be made of materials that are imperious, corrosive-resistant, non-
toxic, smooth, durable and resistant to chipping.
9. Drawers must be made of the same materials and kept clean. Full-lined drawers are not acceptable,
but the use of clean and removable towels for lining drawers is acceptable.

Additional Tips
 Knife blocks or magnets should be stored near where you do your
chopping.
 Frequently used kitchen utensils may be set in an open-mouthed jar
on the counter.
