No; I keep mine outside, or under the shed roofs off the barns. Why a hose? Do you have no outside hosebibs, and need to connect to a laundry sink?
(Although, I suppose, the advantage of a proper walk-in pantry is that you can keep just about anything in there. So maybe why not a hose?)
Yup. Though, as I haven’t a proper pantry, mine fits (barely) in a large cupboard my father found at a sale many years ago, which was almost certainly designed when more people used stockpots.
(First step in arranging the shelves in a new refrigerator: make sure there’s a spot for the stockpot. All the rest of the shelf layout needs to work around that.)
We have a small walk-in. Holds the people food, the animal food, and some appliances. We’re about to embark on a kitchen remodel, which will include putting a better door on it (i.e., one the big dog can’t open).
In my last home, I desperately wanted slide-out cabinets instead of the typical pantry shelves I had. The slide-out style makes the full depth of the cupboard so much more accessible.
Yeah, I’d say we have a pantry. Not a walk in but a floor to ceiling cabinet with pull out shelves for the lower ones. We don’t stock it per se, but when we shop for making a soup or something we usually by an extra can of what ever ingredients we use. We rotate through them.
We totally redid our kitchen about 12 years ago. Added a utility room (it’s huge10’x22’ heated floor) so we could move the clothes washer and dryer (they used to be in the kitchen). Moved a wall too. All of our cabinets now go to the ceiling. It’s nice that we don’t get all the clutter often found on top of cabinets. Everything gets nicely put away now since we have so much storage.
I have one of those, but it’s from floor to counter top. Spices, cooking wine that kind of stuff. It’s was horrible trying to find spices in a regular cabinet. It’s very handy.
Chips and crackers and other snacks/chips on the top two shelves. But I’m tall, I can reach them.
We use slide out shelves for the middle to bottom.
The middle shelves get canned goods, bottles like extra soy sauce and worcestershire. Some other small snacks like nuts.
My bread maker and pasta maker on the bottom. I like the slide out shelve better than a drawer because it’s easier to get my hands/fingers around those appliances to lift them out.
There was no plan to this other than things find a home. Sometimes that’s best IMHO.
I have a cupboard in the foyer next to the kitchen door which has canned food, boxed mac & cheese, plus crackers, cereal, etc. The same cupboard holds the multi-cooker, fondue pot and poultry roaster for the grill.
I have an ice cream maker in another cabinet which is in my office. Our space is a bit tight, so I always make sure I know where I’m going to store something before buying it.
We also have coke and sparking water in the basement.
My sister-in-law has an entire closet with sliding doors for her pantry. But that’s what you need if you have a larger family and live 20 minutes from the store. I have 2 grocery stores within a 5 minute walk. If I want to walk 5 minutes more, there is another store. Another 5 minutes, and there are 2 more. So 5 grocery stores within a 15 minute walk.
I have neighbors who go to the grocery store and/or bakery every day. Always. I go ever 3-4 days, depending on our work schedule.
My pantry cupboard has sliding wire -mesh drawers in the lower two thirds of the right half. It is convenient to be able to pull them out to reach the pasta in the back.
Absolutely. When we remodeled our kitchen, we had no room for a walk-in, but we did get a floor-to-ceiling pantry cupboard. You bet your sweet bippy we put pull-out shelves in there.
