Your kitchen is probably one of the most crowded rooms in the house. Even if you have plenty of space for people, you’re probably tight on cupboard and counter space. That’s why is so important to prioritize. If you could use a little more wiggle room in your kitchen storage, here are 8 items most of us wouldn’t miss.

1. Double Boilers

How many times a year do you use this? If you’re like me, it’s nigh to never. When you come across a recipe that asks you to use one, there are plenty of ways to substitute things you already have. That double boiler is bulky — liberate yourself and give it away.

2. Extra Knives

How many of your knives do you actually use? Honestly, most of us only need a good chef’s knife, a bread knife, and a paring knife. If you’re a meat eater, maybe you need a few steak knifes. But that knife block sitting on your counter that holds a set of 15 blades? Meh.

3. Grill Pan

That grill pan you got for a wedding gift was a nice idea, but meat will only brown when it has direct contact with the metal. Using a grill pan lends some pleasant marks, but you use half of your surface area for flavor development — and that’s a BAD thing. When you want grill marks, use the grill and forget the pan.

4. Expensive Juicers

Juicing is trendy, but what about all the fiber you’re missing? Instead of a juicer, get yourself a powerful blender and you can actually drink ALL the fruit. Maybe best of all, you won’t have to store that bulky juicer.

5. Duplicates

From slow cookers to whisks, to spatulas, and tongs, get rid of any duplicates that are the same size and accomplish the same tasks. They’re taking up precious cupboard, counter, and drawer space.

6. Expired Spices, etc.

Yes, spices to expire. So do salad dressings and condiments. You may not check these things often, but be sure to look at the dates a few times a year to ensure you aren’t using things that could make you sick — or at the very least have lost their flavor. When it comes to spices, here’s a test: pinch it between your fingers (or grind a little), and if you can’t smell a strong aroma, it belongs in the trash.

7. Unusable Plasticware

If you’re like me, the amount of plasticware in your kitchen is probably excessive. Look through your cupboard and get rid of anything that’s missing a lid, leaks, or was meant to be disposable (or recycled) in the first place.

8. Outgrown Kids’ Stuff

How old are your kids? Now, how many sippy cups, bottles, or tiny juice glasses are you hanging onto? Do yourself (and someone else) a favor and give away what you don’t need. If you want to hold onto a favorite cup for nostalgia, sure. But the rest can go.

    i can happily say that I’ve accomplished about 70% of this and will be discarding my almost brand new (because I barely used it in 15 years) grill pan. I’m keeping my juicer because i like the carrot juice i get from it and there are still a few things I think are better in it – i suppose if/when i upgrade to the vitamix, i could get a smooth enough quality to satisfy me. for now, it stays 🙂

    Another couple things to add to your list: jello molds, or any other specialized kitchen tool/container that you keep for “maybe one-day I’m going to have enough time to actually spend time in the kitchen making marvelous food and gifts for family and loved ones”… chances are, if you don’t do it now, you won’t then and TIP: get a pretty bundt pan that can do double duty for cake AND jello. Also any of those gadgets that you look at and wonder “what is this for” (i seem to have quite a few stamped with Tupperware logo without a CLUE of what they do).
