Packing Your Kitchen for a Move

How to Pack Your Kitchen Before a Move

Typically, the kitchen is one of the final rooms to be packed before relocation because moving is pricey. Eating out in the weeks preceding and following a relocation may be extremely expensive. Therefore, how can you pack and clean your kitchen while continuing to cook at home? Maintain momentum by following these five simple steps for packing your kitchen in two weeks!

Two Weeks Prior

Supplies for parties and china: Bring your ornamental dishes, china, and other party materials. Surely you are not arranging a large dinner party in advance of your move! Pack it away in such a way that you are not even aware of it. Bear in mind that these cartons should be labeled “fragile.”

One Week Prior

Cookware, including pots and pans, as well as tiny appliances: In the final two weeks before you relocate, choose two items to cook with. I’d recommend a large skillet and a slow cooker. There are plenty of recipe ideas between these materials and the microwave to get you through the week.

Cookbooks, bar glasses, and tools for cooking: Except for a large, slotted spoon and spatula, pack the remaining utensils and barware. If you require a glass of wine before relocating, consume it in a plastic cup (you will be ok)! Keep disposable plates, bowls, and cups on hand.

Few Days Prior

Take all your dishes, cups, mugs, and cutlery with you. At this time, paper, or plastic cups, as well as utensils, can be used. If you don’t prepare a steak, you won’t miss your knives! Additionally, include all your sauces and spices. It’s acceptable to omit essentials such as salt and pepper.

One Day Prior

Prepare a meal plan for food and refrigerated products. Bring what is necessary to prepare meals during the move. Pack away any pantry products you are not going to use. Purge the refrigerator of items that are expired or will not make the journey. Place all remaining refrigerated products in a cooler on the day of the relocation.

You can begin packing the goods left out the night before your relocation (cooking items, utensils, salt, and pepper). If you plan, you’ll have meals prepared for moving day and the actual move.

In conclusion, planning for your move is essential. It will alleviate stress, be more efficient, and you will be able to keep track of your items better.
