In a dream world, every home cook would have a pantry the size of their bedroom and a fridge the size of a car (with an extra freezer, of course). This unfortunately will never be the case. In small kitchens we need to make the most of our space and ensure that the ingredients we want to use (that can't be in the fridge) have a spot in reach that doesn't take up counter space (we're looking at you, potatoes, tomatoes, and onions).

We recommend this lightweight hanging basket to help out your organization needs. A number-one best seller on Amazon, it features three connected baskets of varying sizes, is available in a copper or chrome finish, and is perfect for storing fruits, vegetables, or even bread or other frequently used foods you want to keep in arm's reach.

At only $11, it's a kitchen storage solution that's easy on the wallet.
