She also taught me clever storage tricks—like making the most of those small cupboards above the refrigerator. Though they may seem impractical, these cupboards can be great for: – *Infrequently used kitchen gadgets* – Store blenders, waffle makers, or food processors. – *Canned goods & baking essentials* – Items with long shelf lives can sit here without worry. – *Cookbooks* – Keep them organized and out of the way. – *Pantry items & spices* – A spice rack can help with accessibility. – *Kitchen towels* – Bulk purchases stay neatly stored. – *Fine china* – Keeps delicate items safe from kids. *Safety tip:* Always use a sturdy stool or step ladder, and avoid storing items that could be affected by heat from the fridge
