10 kitchen products that will optimize your life. 

Decluttering my kitchen was the BEST thing I have done! It actually made cooking easier, pleasant and dare I say a JOY! Declutter then organize your kitchen. You will not regret it.

You have just solved 6 of what are for me, those low threshold annoyances: those problems that are easy enough to tolerate or don't happen often enough to seem worth the time and effort to correct - yet by subtly disrupting our flow drain the joy from the pleasures of the kitchen and cooking - thank you. An additional note of gratitude for making follow through so easy as well. Love the channel. G

Tip for people with a kitchen renovation coming up who hate dish racks on the counter: look into finnish dish drying cabinets. Finnish people have a cabinet above the sink that has built in drying racks in it so all of your drying stays neat and hidden and drips right into the sink, mold and mess free.

Great reminders and ideas of how to make our kitchens more organized and efficient. I offer one suggestion (from someone whose old enough to be your mama! 🙄)to reconsider putting your DW pods in a bowl under the sink. Not sure about your overall climate, but the "micro climate" under the sink will likely encourage them to absorb moisture, then they stick together..then you have messy pods that split or at least get holes in them when you try to pry them apart....trust me on this one as I'd say it's a pretty high chance it'll happen to you, too...yes, "too." Thanks again! Going to order some cord organizers for sure.

So happy I found this! We lost our home in a huge fire in Colorado about 2 years ago. We are rebuilding and will be moving into our new home in about 2 months. These tips will really help me organize. PS my new kitchen is going to have a navy blue subway tile backsplash, too 😊

Putting a paper towel in with the leafy veg helps them last longer. I reuse ziplock with no problems. They key is to wash and dry well between uses. I use a baby bottle rack to open the bags wide during drying, leaving no wet corners.

15:31 I've had a compost for a really long time, you don't really need a compost bag I just wash the compost bin every once in a while to make sure there's no mold or it gets too gross. HOWEVER having a lid on your compost bin will make life a lot better, since no fruit flies will get in or out! plus if you have some greens chickens go wild for them, so no bags makes it easy to give your chickens a treat! have a great day :D

Always threaded the pot/pan handle through a fllipped-up lid and slid it down, then hung. Then each pot/pan is stored with its matching lid. Works for handle style, not knobs or casserole lids. For those you can still store them upside-down on the dish/pot so they don't stick up, then you can stack stuff on top.

This was destiny, I move to a new apartment next week and I had been procrastinating refreshing the kitchen, thanks for the kick in the butt 😭😭😭

Love the organizational ideas. I’d add one to the under the sink area. I would line the bottom of this area with a cabinet liner. If there is ever water issues, it might save the cabinet from water damage.

The faucet pedal is an excellent age-in-place feature, making it easier to be self-sufficient for longer. Great feature!

A lot of (bad) kitchen gadgets either just compensate lack of skill or are so specific that you only use them once a year. These on the other hand look fantastic as they focus more on the context like organisation, cleaning, waste handling. Also why I like this channel so much, it's not one recipe after another but also the cooking "lifestyle" and economy

I enjoy videos like these because they have good replay value for when you need them, or if you like something but maybe not one element, you can change that element to fit in with your kitchen needs. For example, the cord organizer idea is something I never thought about.

I live in an apartment with no electric under the sink, but a motion sensor faucet was one of the best upgrades I did. So much QOL for $100 and it works off batteries that last years.

I'm only 2 minutes in and this been on my mind. I need to redo our kitchen and my wife and I needed this. We are in our early 50s and will finish watching your video. Thank you and best...

Loved it, in terms of the dish pods, we have similar but in a tin with a tight fitting lid for 2 reasons. I find if they are exposed to air they start to break down and go sticky and also with children you need to keep them well away and hard to access.

6:35 I really have to recommend any under sink organization needs to be something that can easily move. Like a pull out basket. We had a very slow leak under our kitchen sink. The organizers I had under there stayed put and I didn't discover that leak until the the entire cabinet and subfloor were ruined. Years of staying damp did it's damage. On the other hand, I'd put pullout, stacking units in the master bath. We discovered a similar leak, but we figured it out relatively fast. The cabinet itself had some moisture damage on the surface, but the structure was sound and I was able to paint it after it dried out and salvage the cabinet. But the biggest lesson I learned from these things is that, while organizing under a sink, just put a tray under there. Something that'll catch any drips that may happen. That'll save all the heartache no matter what the situation. Even if all we do is put a tiny toaster cookie sheet under the plumbing, it's worth it. When I do my remodels I'm building in waterproofing systems into every cabinet that goes under a sink. Best to do it right from the start.

Undersink Storage Maximization: 1. If you can afford a plumber or quality handy man, simplify the plumbing. It's possible to replace the drainage to run directly down then to directly to the cabinet rear, avoiding all the lefthand/righthand pipe jogs and opening up larger and/or more convenient space for storage. Pipes feeding in water can also be set up to hug the cabinet rear and/or sides; you might also consider including filtration systems or even specialized heating systems to bypass the hot water tank. 2. Consider installing a deep-cabinet pullout tray system. Even if you don't currently have mobility issues, you or someone else at some point in the house may find this incredibly useful. More than any other kitchen cabinet, the sink base cabinet is not only very deep, but complicated to use for storage. Many seniors and physically-challenged individuals cannot get down on eth floor to half-crawl into the cabinet to retrieve some item placed deep within. A pullout tray brings it all out for easy access. Options include a full-footprint tray, two trays (left & right), even two-tier trays (including a narrower top tray that better avoids the pipes). These pullouts can be set back 6-10 inches from the cabinet opening so racks or other items can be hung on the inside cabinet door. Dish Racks: I live in a tiny rented studio apartment. My galley kitchen is configured in such a way that there is NO wall to make use of and NEARLY NO counterspace. The countertop length is all of 8 ft. Of this, I have a 24in stove, a 24in sink, and the space between the stove and sink is just an inch wider than my 22in microwave. Do the math: that leaves me just barely over 2 ft of full-depth counterspace SPLIT between the two ends of that 8 ft galley kitchen, which is bookended by an apartment-sized fridge at the left end and a 4ft tall knee wall on the right. I used to have a dish rack at the right of the sink. I've recently given that countertop rack away. I NOW use an extendable dish rack that bridges my sink. Two reasons: -I live alone, so meals aren't fancy and I don't generate a lot of dishes. -My tiny fridge not only doesn't have an icemaker, but it's too small to accommodate ice trays. I really like ice; again, tiny fridge, so limited room to chill beverages. Also, I like smoothies, which I prefer made with ice. I was gifted a countertop icemaker, which I LOVE; it provides the perfect amount of ice round the clock. And the only DECENT place to put it is where the countertop dish rack used to be. And actually, there is 6 inches of space between the icemaker and the sink to place a narrow silicone dish mat for drying glassware. Wire Baskets Absolutely a fan of these organizers. Recently did a reorg of my tiny freezer. Freezers work by circulation of cooled air, but most of the Pinterest-y/Minimalist freezer organization videos show white or translucent SOLID-WALL plastic bins in the freezer. I would argue that it's better for your frozen foods to use wire baskets instead. Sure, leave the industrial-black baskets for organizing on countertops and kitchen shelves, but where you have cold/condensate/moist conditions you might want epoxy-coated wire baskets (to avoid rust); still, good ol' open-mesh wire is the better material for freezer organization. The only issue for countertop/shelf wire baskets is for produce: fruit flies and over-ripeness. Just keep an eye on them. Maybe put the whole basket in a mesh bag or set a tray at the bottom of the basket...

These are great ideas. Something to consider, especially when you are walking your compost out anyway, skip the bag altogether and just dump the container, and give it a quick rinse.

I never got into the "takeout" containers, I guess because I was already using the reusable silicone bags! Absolutely delightful things, we basically never use single use bags now. The big ones are fantastic for soup/stew leftovers actually, we don't often use them for strictly produce. Tip for the washing machine, turn the bag inside out so the machine easily gets all the little crevices. They dry more easily this way too.

Its scary going from not caring to knowing your getting older when organization under a sink is exciting.😂

I like how you have a range of tips like the simple silicone bags (which im about to go buy right now!) to full on home updates like the faucet pedal. Theres something for every lifestyle!

Love these. For Mason jar lids, I have the rings on a bungee cord and hooked to a high shelf and the lids in a small wire basket (so agree with your wire baskets). Easy to access, out of the way, and keeps my husband from losing his mind.

The faucet pedal is something I have already been thinking about for our upcoming kitchen remodel. I used these decades ago in the biochem lab and have never forgotten how great they are. Thank you so much for rekindling the idea and for the link!

Mike you inspired me to compost in an earlier video and I’m dead excited to say that I’ve upgraded my game with a hotbin composter recently…. Now I no longer only compost plant based waste, but old cat food, meat, bones… you name it!

I love love. Love the silicone bags. Great tip! They're awesome. I have some. They're kind of pricey😅 they're worth it because you can reuse them so I have found them at the dollar store a time or two

Restaurant detergend is a major gamechanger. Using the same detergent, for dishes, soap and cleaning saves so much time and space. I use Weck glasses as a replacement for the deli containers and mason jars. They are stackable.

For the under-sink storage -- 100% with you - when I organized that, my day got so much easier. A recommendation: that rack to the left of the plumbing? That should totally be on rollers -- I did that for the shelf to the left, and the basket to the right -- made so much more room available. I can roll it in and out, and easily get to items in the back. oh, the the rack on the door? Brilliant, man - just brilliant.

I’m unreasonably happy to find out that someone else hates the bottom-of-the-unit cord winder. They always made me more likely to drop the appliance, hope it still works, and just leave the cord wadded up or wrapped around the appliance. Thank you for telling me about these (and the particular brand, because I paused to look them up while I still remember, and got a whole page of Not-quite-rights and already-trieds)

Thanks! As an older semi pro home cook, I already have my personal ideal organizing systems (including the oh so wonderful cord tamer things) but the new one you gave me today was that tape dispenser. Absolute gem of a useful gadget! A bit pricy but if it lasts, will be worth it.

I have used record racks from the thrift store for my pot lids, pizza pans, and cookie sheets for ages. We were just talking about buying silicon bags when we finally use up most of the zip lock bags we have. We wash and reuse them so it will be awhile. I use hanging shelves on the doors under the sink. My favorite dishdrainer is a double decker one that goes over the sink. For some bizarre reason our plates don't fit in the kitchen cabinet, so they live over the sink in our tiny 1912 kitchen.

I got that tape dispenser, glued 4 round magnets to the back of it, and I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Thank you for this kitchen solution I'd been needing for a long time!❤

for labeling containers I use a china marker - no tape needed, totally washes off (it is a sort of grease/wax pencil). Available at art supply stores.

Why do you still need the compost bags, when you use the little box? You could throw the content directly to the compost, clean the box etc. Or am I missing something?

Also, I learned as a kid growing up in PA, store your dry unwashed mushrooms in plain paper bags in the fridge. Like the brown lunch bags we grew up with. Perfect air circulation and humidity. Wash when you use them.

i dont understand why you use bags for compost. you can put the whole stuff i a bowl and bring the bowl to the compost and you dont have to buy bags

You are the kitchen god. Love watching you even before pandemic. You have evolved so much and I love keeping up with you and your adorbs fam!

That tape dispenser got me pretty excited

There's an easy way to hang both your pots and lids from a pot rack. Slide the handle on the pot through the handle loop on the lid, then hang the pot from your rack. Both the pot and the corresponding lid hang from the same loop, so it saves space and you never have to look for a matching lid

I normally come here to get recepie ideas but this has to be, hands down, the most helpful video to date. I've ordered some of the things you've shown and they make working in the kitchen so much more enjoyable. Thank you.

I have an incredibly tiny kitchen and the little cord organizers are truly spectacular. They make moving appliances like my kettle or blender from the pantry to the counter way easier.

Love any and all organization videos!! I’d also love a video on small space composting. Particularly for those without a yard. The science behind it has me 😅

Why don’t you dump out your compost into the big bin, when that tub is full, skip the bags altogether to make it a bit more sustainable :)

I wanted one of those foot pedal water controllers 32 years ago when I was redoing a kitchen! Nobody knew what I was talking about. It's great to know they exist as a product now!

Love these tips! The ONLY thing I would add is to fold over a small end of your tape/label for easy removal.

One more Rob: NO metal canning lids! Amazon, Ball and others sell perfect seal white plastic lids. So much better for storage. Write contents on the plastic lid with permanent marker, then spray with alcolol (from your under-sink storage) to wipe the lid clean for the next product. Lids are fine in the dishwasher. They don't rust. You don't have to wrangle the two-piece version. You're welcome. And thank you for terrific videos🥰

You might consider installing some pull-out shelves in your lower cabinets. Makes finding/accessing items in there SO much easier.

Am so happy to realize that some of your kitchen tips, I have been using for years! I use masking tape, permanent marker for food labels on used foil packaging esp chips for freezer. I reuse mayo bottles, store them with caps. I also use bought plastic rectangular boxes for fresh produce. Sadly, the products you use are not cheaply available in the Philippines 🇵🇭. All your tips are useful.

Great tips. I NEED that tape dispenser + marker holder! I'm going to save you from a future disaster waiting to happen. Your dishwasher hose is laying on the floor under your sink!!! If a clog ever forms in your drain the water will back up and drain into your dishwasher, then onto the floor! That hose needs to be routed up to the underside of your counter with a simple clip. Love your kitchen so much!

Meat in the composter? thats a lot of flies you get there. sadly the Kitchen Stickin isnt available in germany and i found nothing similar

An easy cord management is the empty cardboard roll from TP. I use them for appliances and extension cords.

All this is great if you have a huge kitchen. Very easy to be organized if the kitchen is big.

This under section is not meant to store/unstore the cord every time you use your appliance, it's meant to shorten the cord to a customized fixed length that is convenient for where you use it. That's a one-time process.

Love this video! I live in a house that is quite anti plastic. We try to reduce any plastic we use - especially when it comes to food. Plastic leaks into food more than you might think. I use Weck glass jars for everything. Definitely a bit of investment and takes up quite a bit of space. But they are very multipurpose - last theoretically forever and make us as a family feel good. Can be used to pickle things or just a way to store leftovers. Aesthetically look good too!

this channel is the gift that keeps on giving. thank you!

Pods??? they will dissolve with the moisture that is so in the area. Need it covered.

After 66 years on this earth, I am slowly getting rid of everything plastic and replacing it with glass, much better cleans better, love it, wish I would have done it sooner. I even use mason jars for leftovers.I like square things because not only does it fit in the refrigerator better but it also fits in the cabinets as well

I so enjoyed ypur first video on this and again am gleening ideas. If I may add one thing here though. I have never used compost bags for m6 kitchen scaps bin. I took it out every other day most of the time and never had issues with odors, except an excessivly pungent onion that would push me to make a quick trip to the compost heap outside. Saves money, which made the habd washing qorth doing too. A win win in my book. That tape dispenser..holy cow! Ive beeded something like as I'm always fussing with painters tape or freezer tape in the kitchen. I'd like to see them come up with a dual dispenser that sits flush like that. I'd buy two of those at least. One for the art studio, another for my kitchen. Might need a third in the shed now that I think about it. 😅 Keep the ideas coming.

This tape holder has already changed my life. Gone are the days of my kids stealing my tape and sharpie out of the drawer. Thank you thank you thank you.

the cord organizer!!!!!!!! it is not going to save my life, yet it does remove a bunch of annoyance and hustle from my daily kitchen work. Thank you a million for this tip.

Dollar tree has become the cheapest place to get organizing baskets, trays and baskets for $1.25. I was that person that went to The Container Store for all my organizing needs for so much more money…now that the DT game is on point in the area of organizing. Think outside the box for these items and all over the store not just the area you expect to find what you need.

Oh, I am TOTALLY buying that foot pedal! Thank you!!! Btw, I think you could really use something to convert that shelf (that has the pot lids) into a roll-out shelf. Those are a game-changer in the kitchen, too.

Here’s another kitchen hack. Put flexible cutting mats on the shelf under small appliances when you store them. They will glide out of the shelf on the mat rather than you having to drag them out. It’s so much easier.

When I saw the pods in the bowl under the sink, I thought it would be better if they were in an airtight box. Humidity can destroy them. But when I saw the electric device (router or repeater), I thought it was plain risky.

I bought the Rohan Dish Rack, cutlery holder and sponge holder in Sept. I absolutely love it! I'll never need another dish rack in my lifetime. It looks good and performs even better. Our well has hard water that leaves spots on the stainless steel but I just clean this weekly and it's back to normal. Highly recommend.

Great ideas! The Stasher bags are a staple in our house because they go from fridge/freezer straight to the oven/microwave and can be used sous vide style too! One of my favorite all time uses for them is for leftover meats like Turkey breast. Turkey often dries out when reheated. But I store sliced Turkey and some broth or gravy in a stasher bag. To reheat simply place the sealed bag in boiling water. It heats the Turkey up beautifully, the broth or gravy keeps it moist. Leftovers are just as good as the first meal. Bonus, you can store, cook, and restore all in the same container. We’ve used a similar method for transporting & reheating pulled pork for big family dinners.

I would advise against leaving your dish pods out in the open under your sink if they are the kind with the "gel bag" coating (the old school compressed powder tablets are fine). If you ever develop a leak in the pipes under there or if there's any kind of humidity in there they will fuse together and you're gonna have a bad time. Also make sure your hands are dry before you reach in to get one out. I learned the hard way. Same goes for laundry detergent pods.

Stasher bags are by far my biggest game changer. I have been using them for years now. I added some otger silicone loves, like the pasta spoon and laddel (laddel is not amazing, but does not scratch my pots and works well enough). My other go to game chager is plastic boxes, but your metal baskets are cuter and will last longer. Something to consider on my next upgrade. I already owned 1 metal basket that I used for spices and oil for cooking. But tgey are not so budget friendly. I have an amazing dish rack (also stainless steel), but yours looks as good.

😊 I'm also obsessed with having my cords every cord and on everything and all over my house organized wrapped up tightly nicely. I I don't want to say OCD I don't have to have my cars that way, but I love to have my cords all organized and all my my plug in my chargers and cords and things like that that I store. They're all wound up nicely and perfectly. I love having cords nice and organized

I don’t know if you can get the specific product I have outside of Finland, but I have a Bioproffa biowaste bin that has activated charcoal filters in the lid to keep smells away and the lid also keeps fruit flies away. The bin is small and nice looking enough to keep on the counter and it makes cooking so easy, you just set up the bin next to your chopping board and put all the bio in immediately. It also breathes so it slows down molding/the bio getting all nasty. It’s fully metal and has a handle so you can just carry it out when you take the trash, dump the contents out and wash it easily. I use it with a bio bag, but you can also just put everything straight in. I just think it keeps it a bit cleaner and nicer, I live alone so due to it nit smelling I have forgotten about it and it has gotten a bit nasty so the biobag protects it a bit. 😂 Here all the apartment buildings have most of the bina for recycling and always a bio, so you don’t have to compost yourself if you don’t want to.

I absolutely agree with the appliance cord management!!! These are a game changer in my kitchen!!

Some great ideas, but why would you want to use plastic compost bags?? If you bring them out daily, just collect your leftovers/etc in a lidded container and chuck them on the compost without the plastic.

great tips! and I'll be implementing some. One thing though - I've used wood dish racks for ages and never have had mold issue. The small nails have given way at times, but easily repaired.

My landlord and I are getting ready to make a studio apartment for me so I will need space saving things. So the finished drying rack is perfect. That's what I'm going to put in my studio. Thank you! Love that tip

So why use the compost bags at all? I just bring the container and wash it. Costs me nothing after buying the compost bucket, which I already had sitting around.

I really prefer Russbe bags over the Stashers -- They're a lot less expensive, AND dishwasher-safe, they lie flat (perfect for freezing soups, sauces, etc., great for toiletries/power cords when traveling, you name it. I've been using my first batch for 2 years & haven't thrown one away yet.

The tape holder on your fridge is cool!

11:37 OMG, now THIS I need to buy! I also ferment veggies, make ghee, etc. I have a large bin for all the lids. Great idea!

Why don't you just put the lids of the mason jars?

I hate cleaning the reusable plastic bag replacements. I feel like food always gets stuck in the corners. Maybe it's the version I have.

That Kitchen Stickin thingy? I’ve been using painters tape and a black Sharpie for 23 years to seal and label bags or containers of food. Nice to see there is now a dispenser slash cutter mount available! Totally getting one of those - thanks! (Note to self, I should have developed and marketed this myself 20 years ago lol...)

Thanks for the video. Im ordering a few things from watching it. A personal “push back” for me would be the drying rack though. I recently got a diatomaceous earth stone for dish drying after using one in the bathroom as a bath mat. Put a very inexpensive stainless steel drying rack on top of it. It’s fantastic.

You should add a vermicomposter to your setup. Worms would eat through all but the allium and citrus waste and return gold for your garden.

Another thing I have is the over cabinet door caddy for under sink. To store my counter top cleaner sprat, vinegar spray , and hold my swedish dish cloth. Its so easy to throw something into that caddy or just pickup. No bending down nothing.

The bags are nice but at $30 a piece, they are a bit expensive.

I love those silicon bags, I have several and they are so useful. I also use a similar thing to your pan lid rack for storing my chopping boards. They stay upright in the cupboard without falling over everything else.

Absolutely hooked on those cord organizers! What brilliant ideas! Can't wait to streamline our space with these gems

Love a great many of your suggestions, several I have done for years in my own life. I must disagree about the cord organizer though. I had several, that I loved for about a year, maybe a year plus. They have all fallen off and never go back on. I cleaned where they were place with alcohol and every thing. Still will not stay on for duration. I even purchased new "sticky tabs", eventually they fall off. Everything else thumbs up!.

My son is renovating his kitchen, I see a few great ideas here for him, especially the foot pedal. He's installed a filtering system already so may have the power already available. Great ideas at various price points, Thanks.

I love the cord wrapper thing. I think that is my biggest annoyance in the kitchen, those damn cords! I've been thinking about silicone bags, but haven't gotten any yet. I need to just go and do it. Finally the foot pedal is great, and there is another option that I've been using for almost 20 years, it's a touch-operated faucet. I think mine was from Delta. Basically I leave the handle open all the time and just tap any part of the faucet and it turn on and off. My next upgrade will be a touchless one like you find in commercial restrooms, but for the home this one has been a great help and I can't live without it.

Holy Moly!!! Didn't realize this is the info I needed from you, Mr. Greene. I've watched many "pretty organization" videos, however, you're explanations are basic - efficient - inspiring. More practical, cuz that's what you're about. Thank you for your time on this subject. Please update as you grow (metaphorically and figuratively and literally) Also, please, sir, I thrive - my family thrives, my week thrives, from your weekly meal prep. I've learned to do flavor profiles for the week, such as Mexican, Italian, Asian.... Please do more!!!

Why using the compost bags at all? Just take the container to the trash and throw it in!? if you are worried about food scraps sticking to the bottom: Just add one piece of kitchen paper underneath. Thats how we do it in germany. (We have special compost bins serviced by the city)

Some really great products. I wish you'd left a link to the sponge holder on the back of your sink. And maybe some information about the foot pedal activated faucet system. I really enjoy this type of video. Seeing products in action really helps me understand if it will fit my kitchen organization needs, especially when I don't have the budget to just keep trying things until something works.

I am so excited about the mason jar lid organizers! I will definitely be ordering some of those. Thanks for the tip 👍🏼

Some ideas were really great. I love that cable management thingy. Some were just plain stupidities, like that automatic dish soap dispenser, or water pedals, lol

I personally find a lazy Susan for all my baking needs that I can pull out the entire thing use whatever I need because everything I need to bake is on the unit makes life easier. I have a additional lazy Susan with all my spices and a smaller lazy Susan with all my cooking condiments in the fridge and another small one from condiments we use for burgers, sandwiches and things like that in the fridge. One large one holds a lot so I got 2 large 2 medium and a small one. I got them all together as a package on QVC. I probably could have just got them on Amazon each one sold separately by size for about the same price ❤

Those silicone bags are the BEST, the teeth are incredible! Costco sold them about a year ago and I went to buy more and they were gone, worst part, the bags don't have the name on them so I didn't know what to buy. THANK YOU!!!!

I've been through 3 or 4 automatic soap dispensers and they all stopped working after several months of use. I'm over a hundred dollars into them and not going that route anymore. (The one recommended is almost 100 bucks.) Same problem with the foaming pump type dispensers, they stop working properly on the return spring. And the silicone bags seem like a great idea but 30-35 bucks per bag, no way.

I have the cord organizers and love them. I got them a couple of years ago and use them on most of my appliances. I use plastic lids for my mason jars; a game changer for me. I just buy a generic brand. Just look for plastic mason jar lids if you're interested in them.
