Ethan, I have an idea for a vid: Rice varieties--characteristics of grains and which to use for various dishes. I recently found koshihikari rice for Japanese type dishes, a short grain white rice with a lot of flavor (and widely noted as a top quality rice), and it has been a real game changer for me.

Some additional tips: onions and potatoes should be stored separately, marshmallow or terracotta disk will keep brown sugar moist, a dried pepper will prevent the hatching of rice mites

Since I'm turning 18, I'm seeing all my friends stressing about moving out or just being clueless on how to do things... It most likely isn't as easy as I sometimes think, but I can't help but get excited about being able to make literally anything I like. I'm already making the weekday pizza weekly and other stuff, but I can't really do anything too culture-specific as we don't have the ingredients, equipment, or space. It will probably still take a while, but when I decide to move out, I'll definitely be using this as a guide!

One thing that helped me is figuring it takes about the same amount of time to cook a dish in a quantity that lasts a day as it does to make a large batch and freeze the additional amount in portion sizes (or just refrigerate if will eat up within 3-4 days). Easy way to only have to cook once a week versus daily and when you're busy gets the food on the table much quicker so less temptation to get takeout.

Love “Better than” line. I have several of them. A great shortcut. Worth the price- when scratch stock isn’t available

Also an important note to students: depending on your country and culture, you may be moving every year. Don't stock up a whole pantry that's gonna be a pain to move next year. Only buy items you'll use regularly enough that you'll run through them at least by the end of the year. Example, I don't cook a whole lot with vinegar, though I do occasionally, and I still have the same bottle that I started out the year with. This advice is especially important if you're looking for bulk buying items. Like Adam said, tailor the list to your own tastes. If you don't know what your tastes are yet, be on the conservative side, it's worth delaying that supermarket trip for the next time if it saves you from buying stuff you won't use.

I was waiting for that since you mention you are preparing it! I remember the last "pantry" clean up/reorder video it was one of my favorite ones!

I'd definitely be interested in a video about Better Than Bouillon. I'm glad to see it rapidly becoming popular and ubiquitous in stores. I mostly get the chicken one (the chili is also quite underrated and when quickly fried like a curry paste makes for a top quality chili pot flavor base) but it's amazing stuff. Great space saver so I don't have to keep cartons and cartons full of mediocre beef and chicken stock and the flavor is about as good as you can get from a storebought stock.

Ethan, the list you've created is genuinely a gold mine in it's ease of use and essential info, Thank you so much.

This is incredible. Thanks so much for the effort that went into this.

I’ve been binging on kitchen organization videos for weeks… this is by far the most helpful. I’m ready to start my project now.

Great video, Ethan, and I'm glad you're getting settled. Also happy that you used the move-in as an opportunity to make yet another helpful video.

Man, this is really amazing. Huge props to you Ethan!! I've been looking for this EXACT video for awhile now and it's better than what I ever expected. Ethan you are a diamond in the rough!

Thanks for taking the time to put together all of this content brother! We the viewers greatly benefit from and appreciate your dedicated efforts 👍🏼

I just moved to a new state a few months ago with just a few bags. Love this guide and the realism that you speak with. So many of these youtube cooks say you HAVE to get XYZ. But the respect for budget and culture resonated with me! Thank you for this awesome video!

Just moved across Canada and I’m currently in the process of stocking a kitchen completely from scratch this video is exactly what I needed!

this video is great, just starting out as a home cook and getting more comfortable, the organization and effort here is insane, well done

This is the best cooking channel on KZread, and it's not even close. Thank you for making such in-depth, high quality content, Ethan!

I love having a stocked pantry... The other night I was at a loss of what to make and we were considering getting Chinese take out and I just looked around the pantry and realized I had all the fixens to make a recipe I just saw on youtube. I think it was one off this channel actually. "why i stopped boiling my pasta water" I didn't have penne but I had pasta shells and it all worked out deliciously.

Awesome video, I just moved into my first place a few months ago and my pantry has developed in basically this same way! I definitely still got some nice tips and tricks from this, thanks for making it.

Love how clearly explained and detailed this video is, great job! I also want to emphasize the importance of having sesame oil on hand for those who are Asian food lovers. I always use it in my Chinese homestyle cooking. On the topic of sesame seeds, tahini is also used quite often in my kitchen.

This was great. I actually just moved too and had to start over in the pantry. I spent $170 and that was just basics. Spices are the priciest items so I still only have a few. My choices were salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Tony Cacheres, Adobo seasoning, cinnamon, paprika, and cayenne. I wanted a lot more, but when you still have to buy flour, sugar, baking powder, oils, and things, you have to cut off somewhere. I did not buy vanilla yet, but it sure would be nice. I did opt for both AP flour and bread flour, and Panko breadcrumbs, which most people probably don't really need. I also bought yeast, which is probably another non staple for others. Gotta have that homemade pizza crust, and bread, you know. I'm sure you spent around $280-300 because I know what I just paid to stock mine. I didn't get kosher salt yet, because I started with a salt mill and pepper mill set that were sold together and already filled. Your pantry really isn't all that bottom line basic if you break it down, but for a home chef, I get it. I need 2 oils too as well as several vinegars, lol. 3 different rices like you have would be nice, but with my budget, I only grabbed long grain regular rice. I did get peanut butter too because I adore asian peanut noodles, and peanut butter is a great staple for so many dishes and even on a spoon all by itself. Still $300 is a good start and you have pretty much everything you need for most dishes.

I have ADHD and choose not to cook myself, so I watch videos like these to live vicariously lol. Thank you to all the chefs and home cooks out there keeping me fed :)

I looked up family pantry checklist and this was the first video that popped up. I am so happy because this is exactly the thing I was looking for. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos

My girlfriend and I bought a house a few months ago and are in the process of painting the kitchen. I cannot wait to set up my pantry and will definitely be following these guidelines.

Easy yet force-multiplying organizing asset: masking tape and a sharpie… label ALL OF IT, date if it applies

This is awesome! A well stocked pantry saves so much money and makes cooking more enjoyable too! My main issue is that I live in a shared student house, so the space available to store pantry items is really limited. I do my best to stay organized but the limited space is definitely frustrating! GREAT TIP: when it comes to keeping your pantry well stocked, have a running grocery list on your phone (you can even share it with a partner or house mate) and whenever you are running low on something you can put it on the list and get it the next time you go shopping! This works really well, also for non-pantry items that you do keep in the house at all times. Because of this system I almost always have all the pantry items I need, allowing me to cook whatever I want around the fresh items I happen to have at that time :)

Thanks for being so mindful of broke students, the instagram pinterest moms really had me dropping my jaw at what they buy

Bro... Thank you for everything that you do. I had to move back into my mum's in April after a break-up and I get the keys to my new place on Friday. First time living alone, finally moving back out after getting back on my feet. Cooking along with you has genuinely helped me stay on top of my mental health and kept me going after Sydney went back into lockdown in June. This could not have come at a more perfect time for me and I am absolutely going to use this video to confidently start the next phase in my life. Thank you man, truly.

My appartment somehow came with a walk in pantry, something I didnt have since I was way younger living with my parents. This is helping me figure out how to store everything I want in a fairly organized manner as it's kind of a mess right now. Thanks.

I'm jealous of all the kitchen space. The organization is sooo good. Super helpful video, thanks

Great video! I've saved it in my Notion and look forward to rewatching this when I move into my new place.

So I followed your first kitchen organization video before I moved into my new apartment and Im so happy with the results. Some things I added that help alot were a small pot rack and pull out drawers (got mine from the container store). Honestly the drawers really make the entire pantry useful now I would recommend looking into that if you feel like the are too deep

This was an excellent presentation, Ethan. Good luck in your new digs. Cheers!

fantastic video. ive been trying to build something like this for myself at college but I never had a real guide. thanks Ethan!

This is a really good video and I would love to see a part two focused on fridge and freezer staples and maybe even a part 3 with just a rundown of healthy meal options focused on whats available through both pantry, freezer, and fridge. This channel is such a wealth of knowledge, and i feel like, especially for young adults first moving out to be on their own, videos like this are key to helping understand what you should potentially be buying, how you could use those things, and how to identify what is actually most important for YOU personally to buy. One person might be baking a lot, another might never bake, and purchases can be adjusted accordingly and having a list of what you are actually finding yourself to be consistently replacing out of what you got is helpful not only monetarily but just in building your skills as someone who cooks. Wonderful all in all.

I'm getting ready to move out on my own and stock an apartment in law school. This was super helpful! You just earned yourself a subscriber.

As a home cook, I try to keep as much ingredient items on hand as possible, exactly why you do, but I take your analysis are always on point, so I figured Id make sure I wasnt missing anything. Awesome video brotha.

I just moved to a new house and the kitchen space is very different. Maybe slightly less but I think it’s organized different. It’s been challenging to get it all organized as I advance my home cooking skills and I’ve been enjoying all the organizing videos I’ve seen lately. Thank you for sharing, I found you more recently than a few others but you have quickly become one of my favorites.

This was wonderful and basic. It allowed freedom to the cooking style and level of the person. I have friends who absolutely HATE cooking. They go out a lot but even they have very basic items in the home. Why? Because you never know when 'broke' or tired or can't go out because sick or a PANDEMIC! My mom and grandma taught me this and thankful.

Oh and wanted to say, although different end products, the way you teach methods vs recipes is similar to Frank Prisinzano. Really inspiring. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video! Have been contemplating how to contribute streamlining my home cooking, and this provides some great ideas!

This is the best!! Ahhh I wanna go throw my whole pantry out and start from scratch again! Organizational envy!!

Great video Ethan! I particularly liked seeing your organization scheme. I'm always looking for ideas I can steal to make my organization better, and seeing other people's ideas is great. I love, for instance, the idea of using containers like baskets to group ingredients with similar purposes. I will say, a shortcut for the new cook or for someone setting up a new pantry is to rely on spice blends. Until you really get your feet under you with regards to spices, I've found using things like Herbs de Provence, or Five Spice powder, or even chili powder makes doing your own thing in the kitchen a lot easier. As you cook more, you'll learn what spices you like and in what combinations, and you can start stocking your pantry with what you like. This is also a great way to save money while starting up - spices are often the most expensive things you're gonna buy, definitely the most expensive by weight, and it's easy to spend a ton of money on spices only to find out you won't use them.

I just found your Channel bc im trying to organize my kitchen and now im watching all your videos, Amazing, Is really hard to find some guys like you with this kind of quality in the videos, new subscriber here!!!

Organizing items into baskets and bins on the lower shelves is definitely the key to fitting everything in where I can reach. Thanks for this video; it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with my pantry!
