Yahoo! News [Professional Organizer's Tips] "Kitchen Storage" How to use the drawer under the sink? ｜ Mart

When my family asks, "Where is that?", I often hear people say that they get frustrated. This time, Taeko Mizutani, a popular organizing and storage adviser, taught me how to store such problems in one shot. This time, in the "kitchen drawer", we classify frequently used items as 1 army and those that are used only occasionally as 2 armies, and organize them in an easy-to-use manner.

For deep drawers, place "1 Army Item" above and "2 Army Item" below.

[Advice from Mr. Mizutani, a professional organizing and storage advisor] The first thing to do is to classify things. Take out what's in the kitchen and divide it into one army that you use at least once a week and two armies that you use only occasionally. "The basics of storage are to place one army that you use frequently in a position that is easy to put in and take out. By classifying by frequency of use and then deciding the storage location, it will be easier to realize easy-to-use and easy-to-clean storage."

It is subdivided into stackable cases, with 1 army in the upper row and 2 armies in the lower row. By utilizing the depth, the storage capacity is doubled. There is also the advantage that the height is raised, making it easier for one army to take out.
