hi, apart from the obvious food items such as tinned goods I keep a lot of
my spare containers in the pantry. They take up so much space in the
cupboards! The there are all the electric gizmos to fill any other spare
room lol.

Since I like my counter space fairly clean, I use the shelves in my
pantry to store the Cuisinarts (large one, small one), the waffle iron,
crock pots, blender, mixer, meat grinder, meat slicer, etc. They are
easy to reach and my counter tops are free.


Enjoy your new home!

I converted a closet into a pantry.
Usually what I put into it is stuff on sale. Like when one of the
stupidmarkets have 'Can-Can' (like Shoprite does/used to-they are no longer
in my area) sales. I stock up. Also, things I buy by the case like Cream of
Onion soup (which is not available in my area-I get it mail order by the
case).
That kind of stuff gets transferred to the regular cabinets as needed.
Stuff you don't use everyday like pasta, fancy condiments, extra containers
of pasta, etc.

Good cooks don't need recipes... I have plenty of cook books but I
only refer to them occasionally for ideas of what to eat, but mostly I
use them for reference for citing in my posts here. I've never in
life refered to a recipe while cooking, I don't know why or how but
once I look at a recipe it's commited to memory forever.. and other
than for curing meats I never follow recipes exactly anyway, I wing it
and substitute, always comes out better than had I followed the recipe
by the book.

I often refer to cookbooks only for the list of ingredients as to whether I
have them on hand, need to use a substitute, etc. I rarely meausre for
cooking-baking I do. Or for something I've never tried before. A friend's
wife is a Vegan. Not used to cooking Vegan.

Our pantry is a step-in rather than a walk-in. About 4' square. It
holds (from bottom to top) crockpots, newspapers to recycle,
footstool; canned goods of all types; jarred goods (spaghetti sauce,
jams and the like), bagged sugars, bagged flour; cereals and
disposable cutlery/plates/food storage containers.

Used to store the cookbooks in the pantry but we use them so much that
we moved 'em to a cabinet near the workspace. Whereas my mind is like
a steel trap---rusty and prone to snap shut at least provocation :-)
---I like to have the cookbook at hand when making almost anything.
Just to be sure that I don't, for example, leave the salt out of the
bread (UGH!! Wife has done that several times, she doesn't seem to
mind but *I* do!!!)

We have the luxury of plenty of cabinet space. Four(?) years after
renovating the kitchen we still have cabinets that are largely unused
(better than overstuffed cabinets!). The cabinets above the workspace
countertops are for storage of cooking & baking staples: oil, pasta,
rice, cocoa, shortening, flavorings, etc.

"Manwich" LOL :-)) I am almost afraid to ask what that can contains!

You're not from the U.S., are you? (chuckling at what must be going
through your head). Manwich is a brand name for sloppy joe seasoning.
Here's a recipe, if those are unfamiliar to you. Note that the
cinnamon isn't standard, although if you taste Manwich, it clearly
contains cinnamon.
