Organizing the many different stuff and ingredients in the kitchen can be frustrating. Especially for mothers and homeowners who love to cook and love to stock up on different ingredients, kitchen organizers are a must-have—these are something that they absolutely can’t live without.
There are several types of kitchen organizers available in your local kitchen specialty shops. There are plastic, modular types that come in different sizes, and can be conveniently stacked, one on top of the other. There are also glass kitchen canisters, which also come in different shapes and sizes, ideal for both wet and dry ingredients. There are also ceramic canisters that are usually designed in different colors and themes. Each of these choices has their own advantages and disadvantages.
Plastic containers, especially the modular ones, are great space-savers. They are also lightweight and safer to handle, and can be conveniently arranged and re-arranged every time you need to get something from the stack. Unfortunately, they can be susceptible to scratches, and could look really worn out after some time. In addition, low-grade plastics also get discolored through time, and could end up looking more yellowish than translucent.
Glass kitchen canisters, on the other hand, are ideal for countertops with space for displaying kitchen items like flour, baking soda, sugar and other dry ingredients. Some glass kitchen canisters are fitted with airtight seals so you can use them even for wet ingredients. Compared to plastics, they look better because they are sparklingly clean, but they also require utmost caution when they are handled. They can be a safety threat especially in homes where there are pets or kids that are big enough to reach the countertops. In which case, they are better kept in unreachable places.
Finally, ceramic ones are advisable if you can find one whose design fits the overall theme of your kitchen or at least its color scheme. In terms of safety, they can be dangerous for kids and pets, just like the glass canisters.
