A small pantry can feel crowded even when there is not much food in it. Open packages, duplicate ingredients and hard-to-see corners create most of the friction. Before ordering storage containers, try a reset based on what you need to reach and what you want to cook.
Work on one shelf at a time
Empty a manageable area, wipe it and inspect the food. Follow storage directions, check for damaged packaging or pests, and discard compromised items. Keep important cooking and allergen information attached to anything transferred from its original package.
