ᐅ Drink crates and bottles? Where do you usually store them in your home?

Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our floor plan and are trying to decide whether to include a pantry or not. So far, we have a storage room where we also keep most of our beverages and food supplies. Our second refrigerator is also located there. We find this very practical and would like to keep it that way in the house.
However, it’s not easy to integrate a proper pantry into the floor plan. We have concerns about the utility room because of the heat. It’s probably warmer there than in the rest of the house due to the equipment. That would likely make it less suitable for storing drinks and the refrigerator. We also considered partitioning part of the utility room with a wall to create a pantry. This would fit well in the floor plan, but we wonder if a wall would really keep the separated pantry cool, or if it would just get as warm as the utility room.
How do you manage all your beverage crates and bottles? Where do you store them?
Best regards
Herr Stein

Okay, that was quite off-topic.
Fummelbrett – now that is really very neat.

This is how it looked last year in the old pantry. Over the winter, we used up all the preserved items like pumpkin soup, goulash, chicken curry, broths, as well as beetroot, zucchini leaves, cucumbers, tomato soup, sauces, syrups, jams, etc. Very practical.I’m truly impressed!
Not only the neat storage but also the effort and care that went into it. Not to forget: cooked with love. I appreciate things like this and do it occasionally myself, though I lack the time.
I also think it’s great that you young folks still grow and use your own vegetables 😉 Many no longer know how a root vegetable grows.
However, as a hobby cook, I must say:
You can overdo it. Goulash and soup are fun to make fresh when you need them. If I feel like stuffed cabbage on a given day, I somehow look forward to preparing it. But you already have everything ready.
Off topic: do you have any tips on the best way to juice aronia berries?
Thank you 🙂 Yes, it is work, of course – but also a balance to my job and the renovation work on the house. I still cook goulash in the usual way, but occasionally I preserve larger batches for quick meals in between, especially when things take longer at the construction site. And when zucchini, pumpkin, and tomatoes are ripe, they need to be used – so it makes sense to preserve soup.
However, I wouldn’t want to eat only preserved food over the long term.
I freeze the chokeberries first to reduce their strong bitterness and astringency. Then I simply use a steam juicer. They don’t produce much juice, but what you get usually needs to be diluted with water before drinking.

Over the winter, we used up all the preserved foods such as pumpkin soup, goulash, chicken curry, broths, as well as beetroot, zucchini greens, cucumbers, tomato soup, sauces, syrups, jams, etc. Very convenient.So young and yet so hardworking and organized – I’m impressed.
A daughter-in-law like you would be very welcome in our family. lol

HilfeHilfe15 Aug 2018 15:33If you have a properly sized xxxxxl kitchen with good storage options, you don’t need a separate storage room. I can’t understand what fears people have about this. But it is reassuring to know that if the troublemaker ever comes, I can just enter through the neighbors and steal 😉
We have a pantry, and I’m glad we do. The cat has its territory there for using the litter box, eating, and so on. We also store various electrical appliances and supplies there—items we need but not daily, and that we don’t want in the kitchen.
The pantry is located centrally in the hallway.
