More Ideas for the Kitchen: PlasticwarePlasticware is the kitchen equivalent of wire coat hangers because it seems to multiply in the dark space behind your cupboard doors. Before you know it, you have lids without bottoms, bottoms without lids, and you have to face this  whenever you open a cabinet door.The easiest solution is to get rid of the mess and start from scratch using compact plasticware systems. There are some that come in towers with a few sizes of containers all neatly stacked together. The other option is to work with what you have: 1) pull everything out of the cabinet; 2) match lids to containers; 3) discard unmatched items and those you have not used in a long time; 4) stack what's left in a way that makes sense to you.  Like with my kitchen's pantry,
I used what I had. The dish drainer perfectly reins in longer items and bigger lids, while the plastic basket at the top holds smaller lids and containers.
