Goods Storage

• Whether you're an avid cook or just like to have
  a well-stocked pantry, effectively storing dry
  goods in a hygienic way is essential. Hygiene
  should be the main ingredient of your food
  recipes in every professional kitchen.
•  When it comes to maintaining a well-organized
  kitchen and ensuring the freshness of your dry
  goods, there are some simple rules to follow.
• In this blog, we are going to dive into these 8
  rules that will help you keep your pantry in
  tip-top shape.
• Invest in Airtight Containers
• The first rule of dry goods storage is to invest
  in a set of high-quality airtight containers.
  These containers, made from materials like glass
  or BPA-free plastic, keep moisture and pests at
  bay while preserving the freshness of your dry
  goods.
•  2. Label Everything
• Labelling your containers might seem like a small
  detail, but it can make a world of difference.
  Clearly mark each container with the contents and
  the expiration date if applicable. This will help
  you quickly identify what you need and prevent
  you from using expired items.

3. Keep it Cool and Dry Dry goods, as the name
suggests, should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Avoid storing them near the stove, oven, or any
other heat source. Moisture and heat can lead to
spoilage and pests. 4. Rotate Your
Stock Practice the "first in, first out" method.
When you restock your pantry, place the new items
behind the older ones. This ensures that you use
the older goods before they expire. 5. Check for
Pests Regularly inspect your dry goods for any
signs of pests, like bugs or rodents. If you find
any, dispose of the contaminated items and clean
the surrounding area thoroughly. 6. Mind the
Sunlight Keep your dry goods away from direct
sunlight. Sunlight can cause some items, like
spices, to lose their flavour and potency. Store
them in a dark pantry or use opaque containers.

7. Consider Temperature Some dry goods, like
flour, can be sensitive to temperature changes.
If you live in a hot climate, store these items
in the refrigerator to prolong their shelf
life.   8. Clean and Organize Regularly Lastly,
don't forget to clean and organize your pantry on
a regular basis. Remove expired items, wipe down
shelves, and rearrange things as needed. A
well-organized pantry not only looks better but
also helps you find what you need quickly.
