A built-in lazy Susan is a smart design solution that makes use of an awkward and unusable corner of the kitchen. Without the rotating shelves how else would you access the dead space created by 90-degree cabinet angle? Unfortunately, these units can also be a magnet for disorganization when pot handles catch on the cabinet closure, mixing bowls topple with each turn, and Tupperware takes a tumble with every spin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When I recently renovated my kitchen<\/a>, I realized that I had been relying on the lazy Susan for all of the wrong things. Instead of using it for equipment storage, I decided to treat it as an extension of my pantry. With that perspective shift in place, I lined the lazy Susan with clear, wedge-shaped bins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What\u2019s So Great About iDesign Lazy Susan Wedge Organizers?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Storing all baking supplies in a single, spinning cabinet has freed up valuable space in my pantry, and helped keep me organized. Lazy Susan shelves include an outer lip or are made of wire, and would not suffice for my plan to stock the shelves with baking supplies. These clear plastic bins have high sides and fit into the curve of the shelves, thanks to their wedge shape. They have a built-in handle that makes it easy to take hold of the container and remove it when I need to search for a specific ingredient. The inevitable spills and drips are contained to a small area, and are easily cleaned with a damp cloth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I am able to fit three of the wedge-shaped bins on each shelf of my lazy Susan. I sorted similar ingredients into the same bin \u2014\u00a0one for chocolate and cocoa powder, another for extracts and leavening, another for syrups and oils, and so on. The bins are clear, making it easy to see the contents, and I also labeled each bin as a finishing touch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

These organizers have been a game-changer for me, but they can be just as useful even if you are not a baker. You can organize the bins according to your cooking style. It\u2019s a great way to keep your collection of hot sauces, dried fruits, seasoning mixes, and more organized.<\/p>\n
