By Your Side: Keep Cooking Essentials Close With a Cake Stand

Here's a clever organization tip from Martha: use a cake stand to hold cooking essentials for easy access!

Spices, seasonings, olive oil— they can all go on the stand. In addition to being convenient, it could also make for a very pretty display, depending on the packaging. (As you can see, these photos feature glass or metal containers.) It's also another way to put that cake stand to use all year round.

I do this with my lazy susan, but I do love this different take on the idea!

I've been doing this for years with my collection of salts, peppers and hot sauces. It partially covers a basket filled with shallots and garlic and it gives me more room on my countertop.

I have a cool tray next to my stove with all my stuff.
