Been there, done that grin
After I had my new kitchen fitted about 3 yrs ago I devided it into zones.
Pans in the cupboard next to oven/ hob.
Spices, and things used whilst cooking in cupboard above.
Kettle, cups, tea, coffee etc. in an area next to fridge.
Crockery in cupboard above large area of worktop for "dishing up"
Cleaning stuff under the sink.
Basically think where you will do things and what you'll need to do it and arrange things so they're to hand.
I hope your pleased with your kitchen, it's great when it's all shiny new isn't it smile

I'm having a new kitchen next week so have to completely clean everything out. It's very evident that I have far too many casserole dishes, Pyrex bowls/baking containers and heaven knows what else 11casseroles?
How many does one realistically need when only two of us plus dcs occasionally and sometimes invite friends for a meal? At the moment I reckon I could easily feed 50 at one meal, oven permitting ?
And how should I organise the cupboards in my new kitchen? Just how many bowls/baking trays/plates etc do you need?

I'm putting off about to tackle the food cupboard god knows what I'll find in the back of it?

HELP!!!
