15 Kitchen Things You Don't Need - Clean Faster & Stay Organized
When it comes to simplifying your kitchen, Dawn from The Minimal Mom, says there are 15 different kitchen things you don’t need—even though you may feel like you do. And by only keeping what your kitchen needs, it can actually help you clean faster, stay more organized, and even help you enjoy cooking more than you ever did before.
To begin with, there are plenty of kitchen appliances you don’t need and these include any of the individual maker appliances out there such as waffle makers, bread makers, rice makers, quesadilla makers, panini makers, pasta makers, or juice makers. You name it, if the appliance only makes one type of food, you don’t really need it.
What do you need in a kitchen? Certainly not extras. Anything from dishes to pots, pans, or serving platters can go if you have more of them than what you actually need. In her home, The Minimal Mom and her family keep only one place setting per person, and they just quickly hand wash each place setting every time they use them.
Not on the list of things you need in a kitchen are far too many storage containers, especially the smallest containers that get lost in the refrigerator or cabinets. Also on her list is stuff on your refrigerator, random things set out on counters, any item without a purpose, or anything you simply don’t like.
Plus, anytime you’re left wondering where to put things in kitchen cabinets or drawers, like extra utensils, you probably don’t really need those items either.

I have learned the hard way that I “might” need a few fancy appliances and dinner settings for special occasions. I do have a place just for these too. You’ve inspired me to go through my kitchen. Merry Christmas to you all.
I still keep medication up high from raising children. But i went through all my plastic and this is the end result. I live alone now so no need foranything else, need little containers for my packed lunches.🙂
