Here at Food Network, we recognize the valuable real estate of kitchen space. No one wants to test out a new recipe when the countertops are cluttered and the cabinets are stuffed to the seams. That's why we love these handy organization products, which range from small, countertop organizers to additional shelving (if you have the space!). Next time you're taking charge of your kitchen organization, consider picking up some of our favorite organization tools.

This article has been reviewed since its original publish date for accuracy, pricing and availability. We stand by our list of top kitchen organization picks.

"I use one of these clear divided turntables to corral my favorite cooking oils and vinegars in a small, narrow cabinet next to my stove. I can simply spin the organizer to reach what I need without shifting other bottles out of the way. Plus, the dividers make it easy to put items back in the exact place I retrieved them from, so it’s easier to keep the contents organized, too."

"Rubber bands! My grandma uses rubber bands to keep all of her Tupperware lids organized and similar cooking utensils together. She even uses them to stash some plastic zip-top bags in a drawer without having the box take up a ton of space. Because they’re made of a grippy material, the products never fall out of the band, and it’s rare to find a rogue container lid in her cabinets. This is also the perfect way to hold onto all those random takeout menus you have lying around (if you haven’t thrown them away yet!). Rubber bands are a super-cheap way to keep your cabinets organized no matter what your clutter consists of. Safe to say, grandma knows best!"

"It’s called a "cutting board holder", but I use it to corral aluminum foil and plastic wrap boxes — there’s just not a natural place for them otherwise; they gobble up too much drawer space! I attached this holder to the back of a cabinet door with Velcro strips, and it’s like I magically created more storage where once was just air."

— Lauren Piro, Editorial Director

$69.99

"Super simple yet practical, these containers keep baking ingredients fresh (and stylish) on any countertop. It's so much easier to pull ingredients from one of these containers rather than from the bag they came in, since these pourable pantry staples never store well in a flimsy bag. I also like to keep the sugar container near my coffee maker for easy access to sweeteners!"

— Julia Morlino, Editorial Assistant, Commerce

From $26.74

"I try to keep my countertops fairly clear of clutter, and this in-drawer knife block has been perfect for storing my knives out of sight. The bamboo holder fits knives of all sizes, from my large chef’s knife to small paring knives, and has slots for up to 12 of them plus a spot in the middle for a sharpener."

"For some reason, the drawer where I keep aluminum foil always became the designated “junk drawer” in every home I’ve lived in, but not anymore – I recently got this bamboo organizer that keeps kitchen essentials like foil and parchment paper perfectly organized, labeled and ready to dispense and cut. To use, you remove the rolls from their original packaging, insert them into the organizer, add the included labels that come with the product and use the built-in cutter to slice the sheets in a perfectly straight line. I love how neat the drawer looks now, and I appreciate that I can cut what I need right inside the drawer."

— Laura James, Editor, Commerce

From $22.87

"These sliding basket organizers are perfect for maximizing limited cabinet space. You can store twice as much! I have one in the cabinet under my kitchen sink that holds all my dish soap, cleaning supplies, sprays, sponges, you name it. It keeps it all stacked and neat, and the rolling drawers make it so that you don’t have reach far or pull out a bunch of things to get what you’re looking for. I also have one under the sink in my bathroom for all my toiletries."

"Gone are the days of clumsily stacking my pans on top of one another thanks to this pan organizer rack. I like the versatile design that allows you to use the rack vertically or horizontally, depending on your space. It’s nice and sturdy and securely houses my heavy frying pans as well as my smaller ones."

— Morgan Faulkner, Editorial Assistant, Commerce

From $25.99

"Does anyone ever feel like they have enough counter space? No matter the size of my kitchen, I always find myself occupying every inch. That's why a magnetic knife holder is crucial for me. The blades stay sharper than they would in a bulky knife block, plus all my tools are safely stowed."

"I tuck small things (like extra mason jars) and seasonal gadgets into farmhouse-style, wooden crates. I use a mix of sizes and arrange the crates with other pretty items (like a Bundt pan on a cake pedestal) so that the whole display doubles as home décor. My kitchen is clean and organized, I have more space in my cabinets and it looks like I hired an interior decorator!"
