You can find large baskets for pretty cheap at IKEA, World Market, or TJ Maxx. Put one in an empty corner of your kitchen, or a free bit of wall space that won’t have you tripping over it, then lug out your half-sheet pans, your oversized cutting boards, your cooling racks, and all those other too-tall items that give you a headache. Propped up neatly in the basket, they’re now easy to see and access!
