Q: Just read the article on organizing a freezer. Loved the containers used, especially the clear ones beside the ice maker. Have never seen anything like that in the store. Could you provide source information for the containers, please.

Day 10 Task: Buy That Pan or Small Appliance You Need
After deep-cleaning the oven, the stovetop, the range hood, and all the small appliances, today’s assignment for The Kitchn Cure is a fun one: buy that small appliance for your kitchen that you need! After a little brainstorming, I quickly got to work on that one thing I’ve been wanting for my kitchen for quite some time.

When you have a tiny kitchen, being organized and efficient are keys to making that kitchen function well.
Here are 10 real-life examples!
Whether you’re gearing up for fall or savoring every last bit of summer, we’ve got recipes to satisfy all your kitchen needs. If you’re looking for something sweet, try the raspberry lemonade bars, or the sweet biscuits with roasted peaches. If you want something for supper, go for the Southwestern-spiced pork tenderloin or cheesy packet potatoes. And remember to cool down with a delicious matcha green tea shake or low(er)-alcohol Diplomat cocktail.
How do you store your knives in the kitchen? There are advantages and limitations to every solution: Magnetic racks take up wall space (and scare some people!); knife blocks consume precious counter space; drawer inserts can monopolize a drawer better used for other things.
Here’s an interesting idea, and one that makes use of an otherwise unusable space: an ultra-narrow pull-out.
When was the last time you had a glass of orange juice with breakfast? Turns out Americans are sipping the former breakfast staple a lot less often than they used to. It was reported that orange juice sales hit an all-time low recently, and that’s only part of the bad news.
My dad, from whom I inherited my love of food and cooking, is a former gourmet chef, and I am a graduate student — which creates the difficult personal combination of high-quality taste and very little money. The typical small-budget response of skimping first on groceries has always seemed counterintuitive to me. Good food is important, even central, to a lifetime of wellness. It nourishes body and mind and builds friendship and community around countless dinner tables.
But what happens when you’re in a constant state of near-bankruptcy? Having been a student for six years, I’ve curated a few simple strategies for eating well on a tight budget.
Day 9 Task: Clean Your Small Appliances
One of the Kitchn Cure tasks earlier this week centered on reevaluating our pots, pans, and small appliances in the kitchen. Now that I have an “edited” kitchen space, it’s time to clean everything I kept! After cleaning the oven, stovetop, and range hood this week, cleaning the small stuff should be a breeze.
Food and bikes: is there any better combination? Maybe it’s because they both represent slow living, but for me food and bicycles go hand in hand. There’s nothing better than riding to the Saturday morning market and filling up your basket or backpack with fresh produce. And on a long ride, what better moment than the one when you find a good vista and take out a well-deserved snack?
Yes, pairing bicycles and food was meant to be.
