7. Toe-kick drawers? Use them to store your pans

If you’re like me and have way too many pots of all sizes, then you must know the hassle of storing them. However, when I changed my kitchen furniture last year, I was looking for one that had multiple drawers and cabinets to allow me to store all my utensils. And the best hack is that I have a small drawer under the oven where I put all my pans.

If your hardware doesn’t have one, you can easily install one. Not necessarily under the oven, but where you have the space for it. For use with muffin tins, pizza pans, baking sheets, and other items, the shallow size is ideal. If necessary, employ dividers to stop pans from rattling when the drawer is opened.

8. Drawer knife block

Too many knives are an issue. Well, before thinking of throwing them out, think about how you can include them in the drawers to occupy the space smartly. Buy a wood knife block to keep your blades safe and organized. Small paring knives and huge butcher knives of various sizes may fit in the two-level insert.

If this isn’t for you because your drawers don’t have that much space, you can also install a magnetic knife strip that’s going to hold anything magnetic. This includes spoons, ladles, stainless steel knives, and other utensils.
