Kitchen Organization Ideas | Zero Waste Kinda...

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

LAY HO MA!! I’m quite the kitchen nerd I think... what do you think about these slower paced episodes? Comment below 😊

[@pondhop]

It would be great if you provided a link to the brand of containers you're using in your shelves. I thought I'd seen them at Costco but they weren't there when I looked yesterday.

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Ah I will do that 🙌🏻 they are from @realcanadiansuperstore 👨🏻‍🍳

[@pondhop]

@@YEUNGMANCOOKING And to answer your question - I like the slower paced episodes. I'm new to vegan cooking but am enjoying your channel the most. If this exists and I haven't seen it yet in your back catalog, you should do a show entirely on ingredients in your cabinet, what brand you use and why. You seem to put a lot of thought into everything so I'd be interested in which ingredients you're using.(And potentially where to source them if they aren't from some secret temple in Japan!)

[@aprelleazel397]

Amazing pacing ! 😘 Your voice tells it all. Just got captivated listening here...Love your kitchen too very will organized, thanks for the tips 😍👏👏👏. Keep it up 👍

[@yonniehan]

I like both styles so it really depends. Generally I do prefer videos that have a bit more explanation and side notes/tips added. But some recipes are more straightforward so those ones can be quick and short. Thanks!

[@VoxAsteri]

For anyone looking for the containers, they seem to be the "emsa optima" containers, in my country they're sold under a different company/name (tefal optima), so you might have to google around a bit, perhaps each region has their own reseller. Saw them on amazon too tho. :)

[@markc3666]

Thank you.

[@Adogslife54]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

[@emkaerpe]

I'm very grateful, I couldn't find it ❤

[@devoutlytobewished2784]

Wow! When I open my cabinets bags of twist tied rice fall on my face. That is amazing

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Hahahaha 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ragytag]

Lol same here but it’s my fridge. I open the door and vegan butter, condiments and leftovers in Tupperware all fall out. Shameful...

[@smallfootprint2961]

I buy in bulk so often that I've taken to putting things in mason jars with replacement lids on them. I can see what's what. Open boxes and bags don't work well for me, and not a fan of plastic, so it works well for me. Your storage looks amazing. Everything is right at hand. Mmmm green tea. Yum. Thanks for showing us around.

[@littlelamb6804]

Yeah, that or a box of opened pasta that lands all over the floor! Been trying to organize my cabinets for years and it never lasts for more than a week until it is back to the kitchen cabinets from hell.

[@kellyb8237]

@@littlelamb6804 place open pasta boxes in see through bags . Pasta wont fall out.

Each topic has it's own ideal length. While short length is perfect for recipes, this video is the perfect length for this topic. So you're doing it perfectly!

[@TinRoofVintage]

Love your kitchen and storing overstock behind the containers actually helped me (1) save storage and (2) also eliminate the issue of reaching far into the cuboard to grab something. Such a simple thing that makes a wonderful difference. The appreciation and gratitude you have for your ingredients, food and work spells love, Wil. Peace and Blessings from Texas USA ♡♡♡

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

TinRoofVintage I know right!! When I initially moved in to this house, everything was getting lost at the back of the cupboards 🤦🏻‍♂️ this was life changing haha 😆 thanks so much for tuning in as always!

[@_tater.marie_]

@@YEUNGMANCOOKINGcould you share a link to the containers you use for your spices/coffee/tea?

[@cchoi108]

The whole stacking thing is a game changer omg with the overstock in the back. I did a test run with some containers I already had and it's a complete life changer. I have so much more space now and I can actually see everything. Except now I have to run out to the store and get more of the exact same containers that I already have. I'm a spice and ingredient addict I have so many. I have managed to cut back I'm trying to be more minimalist in the kitchen.

[@biritsimonsen]

I very much enjoyed this episode and the length didn’t bother me in the least. I think your followers are all attracted to your minimalist, yet luxurious style. Your kitchen style just follows through. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

I admire your saying that ☺️ glad you’re here

[@MC-zx3vp]

Love your containers. Please tell us where did you get those and how to order them.

[@pastorpeggie]

Love how much you appreciate and honor all your beautiful ingredients, by giving each a home and keeping them so well organized.

[@robertashaffer3950]

LOLLLL "SHAMELESS PLUG!!" I LOVE IT!! 😂😂😂😂 Your kitchen is a work of art!! You really made me think when you described giving respect to your spices, for them to each have their own home. That is not the case in my cupboard. Wow. I've got alot of work to do!! Thank you for this episode. You are 100% right Wil. I totally see how having a nice organized kitchen and organized pantries makes spending time in the kitchen so much more enjoyable.

[@riekefreer7858]

Nothing like a well organized pantry or cabinets where you know where everything is when cooking. Love it love it!

[@HalifaxOMG]

Eureka! Master template for reimagining my kitchen storage! I agree: Attractive and organized work spaces increase "The Joy of Cooking."

[@anitaroberts5980]

Hi Wil, Just recently found your channel and I am really enjoying your videos. My kitchen will probably never be this tidy! I love the the calm nature of your videos, the soothing background music, and of course they are beautifully filmed. Seems you have just the right set of skills to excel at running a KZbin cooking channel. Your recipes are delicious. It was also nice to watch some of the videos that give viewers a little more insight into who you are. It's all good stuff. Wishing you continued success.

[@torquilmacpherson3648]

Would be fantastic if you would supply links for the product resources you use i.e., the spice storage containers

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

That is valuable feedback and we will keep this in mind for future episodes 😎🙌🏻

[@rolijain3985]

I love how you smiled and looked relaxed when not in a hurry to do a short video. Photi quality is sharp , amazing and white kitchen blows me away. Thanks for all the tips! I wish the music was low . The best part of your channel is you dont talk about the cost of items, cost of your time, cost of your storage boxes ....

[@ericam3287]

This is so true. Having organization will help you store your goods plus motivate you to cook. It also helps visually so now when you go grocery shopping you can remember what you have. Thanks for thr popcorn tip. Bc I threw my microwave away about 8 years ago and enjoy heating left overs up in the oven when home, or the toaster oven when at work.

[@drdeb8646]

Love the kitchen organization. Makes life so much easier. Nice to know someone who thinks like I do. There is a certain aesthetic to a well-organized space. Thank you!

[@jacklily999]

Appreciate you showing your kitchen, really the heart of a cook. What I really think important especially in this world is to carve out the slow time to enjoy and rest. Like sleep, this is needed for health reasons. Growing ones own herbs is a great idea. Thanks again!

[@atomicovary]

Everything is organized in such a satisfying way. Pure eye candy! Wish I cooked enough to warrant the immense amount of spices you have. I'd love to see a video on all the special kitchen tools you own and why you chose the specific ones.

[@jeanettejackson444]

If that is pure maple syrup it has a forever shelf life like honey does. If it has other ingredients like the cheaper maple syrups do then the shelf life is a couple of years. Excellent video. I have admired your spice organization since your channel found me. Saving up for your cookbook. I use the Chef Path airtight containers which can be purchased on Amazon to get that organized look. They come with the labels to identify what is in the container. Thank you for sharing your flavorful and healthy recipes with us.

[@dfm_azul]

I love your organization skills. You are very right, when you have you kitchen organized, you think differently and want to preserve the organization. Wonderful kitchen, video and video length.

Lay ho ma from Australia! Love your nerdy sorted kitchen drawers, shelves containers etc!! I resonate exactly as your kitchen is set up though i haven't in practical terms been so pedantic of late. I remember in my earlier years I kept all the large Moccona coffee jars to store dried goods, herbal teas, sugars, flour etc! Then I discovered real coffee beans... I also love stainless steel bowls and cutlery plus love to clean and collect jars, especially unique shapes and sizes....ooh if only you lived down the road so we could swap recipies, ingredients and share cooking time :)

[@czemuczemuczemu1958]

Loved this video to no end. I just recently moved, downsized from a huge house with a very large kitchen to a small 2B apartment, with a big downsize of the kitchen space from what i had been used to for over 2 decades. Your video inspired me to step up with meticulous organization of my kitchen space, and i am gushingly grateful for your tips. I can answer with confidence now, with regard to my kitchen, “hou, hou, duo je, Wil.”

Organization is a challenge for some - and particularly for me. I live on an island just north of the equator where rust is a problem . Our windows are open to the salty sea air. Spices lose their strength more rapidly and appliances and stainless knives and utensils rust! I loved your cabinet set up: not much overload. What appliances do you deem essential, if you don’t mind my asking? Loving the recipes and approach to food!
