Small Appliances-How many to keep and best place to store.

Which earn a place on the countertop?

Stand Mixer, coffee maker, toaster, blender, toaster oven, electric can opener, electric fry pan, hand mixer, air fryer, microwave, food processor . . . .

All of these appliances could be occupying prime real estate on your kitchen counter or in the cabinets. Does one really need all of these appliances? Would they better serve one if they were located strategically in the kitchen or pantry?

Some questions to ponder:

Which appliances do I use daily?

Which appliance do I use weekly?

Which appliances do I use monthly or less than 4 times per year?

Appliances that are used daily earn a spot on the kitchen counter.

Appliances used weekly earn a spot in a kitchen cabinet.

Appliances used less often could be looked at to decide if you could live without it or stored in a close by closet, cabinet over the refrigerator or pantry.

Is there one appliance that can be used for multiple tasks?

Perhaps keep that one and get rid of single task items.

If one has the space, one could set up a hot beverage area on the counter and use a nearby cabinet to store the beverage supplies.

Enjoy less cluttered kitchen countertops and cabinets!

 It will look nice and be easier to tidy up.
