The Lazy Susan
The Lazy Susan: Your Secret Weapon for an Organized Fridge
Do you have a condiment Lazy Susan in your fridge? If not, you're missing out on a game-changing organizational tool. Here's why you should consider adding one (or two!) to your refrigerator setup.
1. Contain Your Condiment Collection
If you're like me and can't resist a new sauce or dressing, a lazy susan is your new best friend. It helps you manage the number of condiments you have at one time. I swear by the “one out, one in” rule. This means when you add a new condiment, you retire one that's been lingering too long. This tip is especially useful for all the condiment enthusiasts out there—yes, I see you!
By limiting your condiment collection, you avoid overcrowding and ensure everything you have is fresh and usable. It's a simple yet effective way to keep your fridge clutter-free.
2. Easy Access and Visibility
One of the biggest frustrations with a crowded fridge is not being able to find what you need. Condiments often get shoved to the back, never to be seen again until they expire. A lazy susan solves this problem beautifully.
With a quick spin, you can easily see all your condiments and grab what you need without having to move multiple items out of the way. Each condiment is accessible and visible, making meal prep and cooking more efficient and less frustrating.
3. Beauty Meets Function
A well-organized fridge is not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing. A lazy susan adds a touch of order and beauty to your fridge. It's not just about making your fridge look pretty (although that's a bonus); it's about creating a space that brings joy and ease to your daily routines.
When your kitchen tools and spaces are both beautiful and functional, it makes the cooking experience more enjoyable. A tidy, organized fridge can significantly contribute to your overall kitchen happiness.
Sizing and Placement Tips
When choosing a lazy susan for your fridge, I typically recommend a 9-inch or 11-inch size. These sizes are versatile and can fit most fridge shelves comfortably. However, be sure to measure your fridge space before purchasing to ensure a good fit.
In my fridge, I have two lazy susans—one for savory condiments like sauces and dressings, and another for sweet condiments like jams and syrups. This dual-lazy-susan setup keeps everything organized and within reach.
Incorporating a lazy susan into your fridge organization routine is a small change that can make a big difference. Give it a try, and you might find yourself wondering how you ever managed without one! Watch here to see how this can really transform your fridge organization! Happy organizing!!
