My dish storage areas
Comments (10)Wow...OA beat me to it! I was just thinking the same thing about your 'Adventures' in Dish & Cabinet Hunting...lol EURIKA!! on the Cabinet. What a great buy for $12. You couldn't buy the wood for that money, and it's good looking too. So happy you scored on that one. It's hard when you're about to buy something and then it's 'snapped up' buy someone else. I used to go to Huge Estate Sales in NY, and if I'd be looking at something, Dealers would come along and slap a 'Sold' price on it... and then move on to other things. I realized they did this to hold the piece until they were done, then decide what they Really wanted. I complained once to them and to the buyer how unfair it was to allow this.. Well anyway, I love all your storage spaces, and you're right to get them out of tubs. It's sooo much better and way more fun when you want to set something up, rather than having to hunt and dig them out...and try to remember where they're stored! You got another set of very pretty dishes...I like the delicate pattern...and you were so lucky to find them on Ebay..(great place). You've got me 'eyeing' a large cabinet that I have in the Garage too...I keep wrapping paper and craft stuff in there, which could easily be put in my walk in attic. I think, I will take a second look at it and do some 'Rearranging of sorts'...lol You guys are too much and sooo inspiring with ALL your wonderful Storage Places. I love seeing what everyone has done..great incentives to get the 'juices' going to figure different storage possibilities. I used to have a large old house, with lots of storage (butler's pantry)...Now, when we built this house, we downsized and I didn't think I'd be doing all this Extra dish collecting...and, I'm regretting it...But, as they say, Where There's A Will...There's A Way! jane...See MoreWhich baking dishes do you really need?
Comments (7)Since you're mostly looking things that don't need a specific size pan, what you really need is a couple of "large" and a couple of "small". What "large" and "small" mean depends on the size of your oven, and the amount you normally cook. For example, if you want to cook lasagna, you need a pan long enough for the noodles to fit. If you cook a lot, like for a family, you need large dishes which hold enough food. If you're cooking for two than you might not need such large dishes as often. I agree with hostapasta that a 14 x 14 oven would be too small for me. There are a lot of things I cook that wouldn't fit in there. Think about WHAT you cook and HOW MANY you cook for. Think about the pans you currently have and how often you use them and what you use them for. Do you have any "favorite" dishes that you use a lot or any "neglected" dishes that almost never get used? Do you prefer rectangular/square dishes or round? Do you cook things which need to be covered (with a lid) during baking or open? Will you NEVER be making cakes/cookies/pies or just seldom? If it's seldom, as opposed to never, you'll still want to have the appropriate pans, but maybe not at your fingertips, so those kinds of things can go into less accessible storage areas....See MoreDish storage dilemma
Comments (25)My kitchen is a really wide U with the sink & DW one side wall, the fridge on the other and the rangetop on the connector part of the U. Our plates and bowls go in the cabinet to the right of the rangetop--the side closest to the sink & DW & the glasses go to the left of the rangetop--the side furthest from the sink, but closest to the fridge. I prefer having the plates near the rangetop for easy food prep and plating. I like having the glasses near the fridge for easy prep at mealtimes. If that means my plates are 4' from the dishwasher and the glasses are 10'--so be it. I definitely spend more of my time at the rangetop area prepping, plating and filling glasses than I do emptying the DW, so it makes sense to have the setup I do. Plus, as I make the trek with 3 glasses at a time from the DW to the cabinet, I think of how many extra calories I'm burning & all is good! Surely emptying 1 rack of glasses burns off the calories in a bowl of ice cream, right? :-)...See MoreCan I bake a meatloaf in a dish in a 6 qt Nesco roaster oven?
Comments (8)Thanks linda and plllog! LOL pilllog! Learned that! Was even thinking in the future of getting those special gloves....they might work better than 2 big potholders. The meatloaf tastes good........but I think I ground the meat too fine for this. I've gotten in the habit of grinding chuck roasts myself, so we're eating from 1 cow at a time, and not 100. Anyhow........I ground this last batch fine and it was a little too fine for meatloaf. And when I would bake it in the big stove/oven, I would use a rectangular casserole dish. As soon as it was done baking, I would elevate one side of the dish and scoop out all that fat, before it would get reabsorbed. But I totally filled this 1 and 1/2 quart - tall sided, square dish and couldn't do that. I'm sure I'll learn the tricks of cooking with this thing. I'm really glad I got the small one and the large one....See Morebud_wi
