What can we learn from Japanese kitchen storage?
As we all know, there is a god-like creature called Japanese wife, and any room can shine as clean as new under their wonderful hands. Perhaps it is precisely because of Japan's land and gold that it has created the powerful skill of Japanese housewives.
what does a Japanese kitchenette look like?
Japanese people's eating habits are different from ours. They are small in quantity and varied in variety, from all kinds of pots and pans to dishes. If you want to put so many things in a small kitchen, you still need some home wisdom.

So today, let's talk about the rules of kitchen storage that are worth learning.
what can we learn from Japanese kitchen storage?
First, the kitchen storage technique that does not rebound
With the gradual advancement of cooking skills and the deep yearning for home appliances with happiness,
it will lead to more and more things for us.
according to the items that can appear in the kitchen, it can be roughly divided into seasoning, tableware and kitchenware, pots and pans, stored food and groceries.
1. The storage rule of spices
If you want the kitchen to be neat and beautiful, you'd better transfer all kinds of spices you bought to a separate seasoning bottle first, which is more beautiful and tidy.
since it is a common condiment, it is most reasonable to place it around the stove.
The storage rack for condiments is a simple and common choice, and it is best to choose a layered type to make rational use of the three-dimensional space. But remember to choose according to the quantity and specifications of your commonly used seasonings, and don't waste every inch of space.
▲ Choosing a good-looking seasoning bottle can also improve the overall value of the kitchen
If the kitchen countertop space is limited, you might as well hang these odds and ends of condiments on the wall, which will save a lot of space. The pendant of IKEA Fanto series can basically meet this demand.
naturally, shelves are indispensable for wall storage. Some tableware, spices or whole grains can be placed above, and some seasoning bottles with adsorption function can be collected below, killing two birds with one stone, which can also be said to be the savior of small-sized kitchens.
In addition, if Virgo likes the empty countertop, or lazy cancer star people are worried that hesitation and stir-frying will make the seasoning bottles hang a layer of oil stains, they might as well move them to the drawer under the stove, and it is best to label them so as not to make the wrong ingredients when cooking.
When installing cabinets, many families have installed seasoning baskets, which is also a good choice, and the more spacious floor can also hold large bottles of inventory.
2. Storage rules of tableware and kitchen utensils
Tableware
If you don't have a dishwasher disinfection cabinet at home, you can choose this lightweight storage rack, which can not only control water conveniently, but also save space, and put the washed dishes directly on it, which is clean and hygienic.
I'm worried that the open storage will cause too much dust, and I don't want the fully enclosed cabinet to make the kitchen too dull. I might as well give priority to the glass cabinet door when choosing the cabinet panel, so that the tableware can be conveniently and quickly taken, and the storage and display are both correct.
whether exposed or hidden, I personally recommend this kind of dish storage rack, which has an open slot on the side, easy to take and put, hollowed out around, good ventilation, and most importantly, it can protect tableware.
I recommend an artifact to everyone. It is suggested to place it under the hanging cabinet. Open the front plate, the upper layer can be stored, and the lower layer is the partition for placing items. It is very ergonomic to take things. After closing, the front board can become a shelf with hanging function. Very easy to use.
There is also this electric lifting blue. Just press it and the dishes will automatically land in front of your eyes.
kitchenware
To tell the truth, it takes a lot of thought to store things like kitchenware. Items such as spatula, colander, eggbeater, etc. get too close together, and it is easy to get mixed up and fight. The best way is to classify and store all kinds of items; There are many points, such as the length of kitchen items, which are almost long, and only need a multifunctional storage tube to solve it.
In addition, some appliances have holes in their handles, which can be hung and stored on the wall, saving space and being easy to ventilate and dry.
you can still hide these kitchen utensils in the drawer, but don't leave them behind. Choose a kitchen utensils sorting box, and you will find that even if your things look more complicated, they will look very neat after such treatment.
3. Rules for the storage of pots and pans
Pots, a large kitchen utensil, are the best choice because of too many kinds and different shapes. Many Japanese housewives do this.
It is best to store the pots independently, which can be arranged according to the size of the pots. It is best to use the method of "lying on the side" to store the pots, so as to ensure that a considerable number of pots can be stored. It is best to place the pot cover and pots separately, and some other items can be placed in the remaining space to make full use of every space.
In addition to putting the pots and pans in deep drawers, if the drawers at home are not deep enough, you can also put the pots and pans in the cupboard, which requires 1-2 racks to make them "live in harmony".
this kind of pull-out design makes it more convenient to store pots and pans. When it is applied to your own home, you may wish to ask the cabinet designer to design like this.
If you have a bright room at home, you can also hang the pots and pans neatly on a high place, which is also quite a good method.
4. storage rules of stocked food
the most difficult thing to store in the kitchen is the ingredients, because each ingredient has different shapes. Especially now that the weather has turned cold, it is not necessary to pile everything into the refrigerator to be "out of sight, out of mind".
Therefore, we should choose all kinds of storage boxes as far as possible, and store all the ingredients in categories, which is convenient to take and ventilated. For example, I use inomata's storage basket myself, which can be stacked infinitely. The design of large opening makes it easier to find things at a glance.
if there is a narrow space at the edge of the cabinet, you can also choose this kind of small trolley with cracks, and it is still no problem to put some inventory.
if you think of these problems in the early stage, you can do it in one step. Like this indomitable push-pull crevice cabinet, it is definitely the gospel of the star hoarder, and it is simply a powerful storage empire!
5. Rules for the storage of groceries
The so-called groceries are mostly some daily chemicals in the kitchen, such as paper, detergent, gloves, heat insulation pads and so on. These things are fragmented and frequently used, so it is recommended to put them where you can touch them at your fingertips.
second, the advanced new tricks of kitchen storage
Life doesn't need to be static. As for kitchen storage, you will find that home will be more attractive if you seek a "private custom" method that suits you.
1. Hole-hole board
Hole-hole board has been transformed into online celebrity in recent two years. You will find that it is really easy to use and unique, and it also has a harmonious and orderly aesthetic feeling. By using vertical space, the space utilization rate can be improved again.
2. Barbed wire
Barbed wire and perforated plate, the two brothers of home storage artifacts, often appear together, and they are used in almost the same way. The load bearing of barbed wire may not be as good as perforated plate, but it will be more convenient and cheaper to use. You can choose according to your specific needs.
3. Trolley
The IKEA Crass Trolley, which costs more than 2 yuan, seems to have become a favorite of many people overnight. Its potential seems to be infinite. If there are too many things in the house or the area is limited, it can be transformed into a mobile cabinet to meet your storage needs in all aspects. No matter in terms of functionality or face value, it deserves to be a single product in online celebrity.
4. Ladder
A small ladder with beautiful style can not only be used for storage, but also be a beautiful decoration, which can make the kitchen more colorful. Putting a pot of small plants on the top floor can also add vitality to the space.
generally speaking, the first principle of admission is formulated according to one's own living habits. I also summed up three points for you here.
Easy to take
When cooking, all these "parts" around you are your helpers, so be sure to remember that you must take them easily. According to the frequency of use, make a storage plan.
Easy to take care of
If you are keen on stir-frying, you must remember to clean your kitchen utensils in time. If you can't, put them in a closed position as much as possible when storing them.
neat and beautiful
I have to mention the Japanese housewife's kitchen. Of course, I believe that after reading what I said above, you should be able to master some practical methods.
3. Anthropologists in the kitchen on ins
If you want to further study kitchen storage, you might as well pay attention to these experts on ins and remember to climb over the wall.
"ruutu73 "has hundreds of thousands of fans on ins. She is a veritable Japanese housewife. Like most Japanese families, ruutu73' s kitchen is open and communicates with the living room, so you can enjoy the good time with your family when cooking ingredients.
once you visit her kitchen, you will feel that it is clean and unrealistic, and it is extremely neat. It turns out that the kitchen can be as beautiful as this.
The empty cooking table is as shiny as a new faucet. From these clues, we can see that it is the result of careful maintenance. As well as those well-kept bottles and cans, and those neatly arranged storage boxes in drawers, it is enough to see that she is a person with strong storage ideas.
the kitchen of blogger brooch.m will also give people a bright feeling. The area of the kitchen is not large, with a cooking table on one side and a storage cabinet and refrigerator on the other. On this side of the storage cabinet, there are many shelves, and everything is neatly arranged and placed separately from top to bottom according to the frequency of use.
On the other side of the kitchen, there are not many things on the counter, and the same kind of things are all stored together. The color scheme of white+log color looks comfortable and advanced.
Finally, I'd like to introduce a heavyweight blogger, "tuuli", whose home is fashionable and modern in black and white style. As for the storage skills, just look at her kitchen. Open the door of the push-pull cabinet, and you will find that it is a completely new world, and all kinds of appliances on each floor are neatly stored.
Open the drawer under the counter, and I was shocked again! There are all kinds of kitchen props of the same size in the storage box, which seems to be tailor-made. There is no feeling of being surrounded at all, and it can definitely be said to be a textbook-level storage guide.
well, let's introduce you here first. Rome wasn't built in a day. I hope you can digest it slowly. You are also welcome to share your experience and exchange more things about the kitchen.
