If you don't want your kitchen to turn into a storage area for unnecessary things, don't forget to conduct an audit of your cabinets and refrigerator.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, listed things that should be gotten rid of as soon as possible – only then will the room look clean and tidy, and you will be able to enjoy the process of cooking.
Non-stick cookware with scratches
Non-stick cookware is good because it allows you to avoid using oil during cooking. But as soon as it gets scratched by utensils or kitchen spatulas, this function is instantly lost. Moreover, such cookware becomes harmful, because when heated, substances are released that cannot be called useful.
Old sponges for washing dishes
Dishwashing sponges accumulate millions of bacteria on their surface, which then “crawl” onto the dishes you wash with these sponges. Don’t want this to happen? Change your sponges once a week and use a sponge holder.
Packages
To get rid of a mountain of disposable bags, buy a reusable grocery bag - this way you will make your contribution to the environment and save a considerable amount of money on the purchase of plastic products.
Wooden products with cracks
As soon as a crack appears on a wooden spoon or spatula, throw it in the trash without mercy, because it will become terribly inconvenient to use it from now on. You should do the same with cutting boards: bacteria accumulate in the damage, and splinters can get into your food.
Towel for everything
The best option is to replace a single towel with a whole set of textiles, which will include items for hands, dishes, and spilled soup on the table.
