I like the idea of not losing things, but my pantry won't be big enough to do that and fit everything in. My current pantry cupboards are just under 300mm deep = two containers and that's narrow enough to keep under control. I used to have a fridge-depth pantry cupboard and unearthed many ancient items when we moved after 12 years, so won't be doing that again nor a corner pantry - my mother has one and it's not easy getting to the back corner. Thinking about building Rawson's Huntley 27 Re: Pantries - What does and doesn't work? 18Jan 16, 2014 7:16 am Can we expand this thread to reach-in pantries? Our plans are for what seems a pretty-good sized reach-in pantry, internal measurements of 1175mm wide x 650mm deep. Internal height is limited to 2100, so nothing should be too far out of reach. I've specified u-shaped shelves that get shallower as they go up so that the ceiling light is not blocked by the upper most shelf. The two bottom shelves are 250 deep on the sides, 350mm deep across the width. I picked dimensions mostly by shopping Ikea --for example, the floor under the bottom shelf will accomodate Hutten wine racks, and their storage container range will all fit in a single row on either the 250 or 150mm deep shelves. Do others think that will be practical? Currently my 'pantry' is a 750mm wide particle board wardrobe with shelves in the basement, so almost anything will be an improvement... Drat. Now realize that even though I don't plan to plug anything in in there, I should have added a power point in case I want some rechargeable kitchen gadget in the future. Chris On the threshold of retirement... and trying to check my assumptions at the door Re: Pantries - What does and doesn't work? 19Jan 16, 2014 8:34 am We just have a reach in pantry too but I like the shelving ideas mentioned. I also came across a good idea in a mag yesterday. A little hard to explain but I'll try - the pantry is beside the bench top and they have a folding door where they meet instead of a fixed panel, the bench top extends into the pantry where you can keep your toaster/kettle out of sight. The shelves above and below this alcove are accessed by the normal pantry door. If I remember I'll post up pic tonight. http://camdenbuild.blogspot.com.au/ by invite only please pm me Re: Pantries - What does and doesn't work? 20Jan 16, 2014 10:56 am ChrisE I've specified u-shaped shelves that get shallower as they go up so that the ceiling light is not blocked by the upper most shelf.

My ideal pantry setup for a two door 1000-1200mm wide is, Fixed full depth shelf at bench height with full depth internal drawers below. 3/4 depth adjustable shelves above with stainless steel pantry racks screwed to the back of the doors from bench height up. I am not a fan of the U shaped shelves, they eventually sag and getting stuff from the back corners is next to impossible!
