Home & Kitchen Appliances

Just as important as food storage is the relationship of the pantry with kitchen appliances. These days, more equipment is being designated for pantry use.

A mixer, bread machine, or a second refrigerator are found in pantry space along with other devices, such as cell phone charging stations. Small appliances abound these days, all needing a spot. Look for homes starting to have dedicated pantry appliance storage.
