Pots, Pans and Cooking Utensils- Decluttering Tips

Perhaps you have combined homes and now have multiple sets or accumulated an abundance of duplicates over the years, let's simplify down to only keeping what you actually use and enjoy. 

Do you ever grab something but immediately put it back? For me personally, the apple corer/slicer was the item that made me realize...why do I even have this?!?!? I decluttered that and tackled the drawer while dinner was cooking. It's a quick decision win when you're keeping what you like and actually use and eliminating those that simply take-up-space.  Give them to someone else who thinks they are must-haves or simply pitch them.  

As you work through these spaces, keep in mind the cooking area. If you have a five-burner stovetop, that's a good guide of how many pans to keep. If you have specialty pieces, consider storing those in another space outside of your 'everyday zone'. (ex, cast iron items can be stored with camping stuff in the garage).

We are decluttering the unused, not needed, or overly abundant amount of 'stuff' and taking back your space. Perhaps you used to bake regularly but that hobby has since faded away, gift forward and let it become someone else's new hobby. 

When in doubt create a temporary home, outside of the everyday kitchen space.  If you reclaim it within 6 months it can move back in, if not it is time to go.  

Setting a 15 minute declutter time twice a year can help maintain this space.
