Lazy Susans were once known as dumbwaiters. Restaurants used the rotating device to move dishes and meals quickly for service. Modern Lazy Susans, however, work in home kitchens for storage and organization. Better Homes & Gardens magazine describes a Lazy Susan as a stylish pull-out or rotating tray. The handy tool makes functioning in the kitchen a breeze. - Canned goods are suggested items for storage in a Lazy Susan. Canned vegetables such as beans, spinach and corn work well in this storage device. Because this storage space is one of the handiest in the kitchen, you should store much-used items, according to PullaShelf.com. Stack canned goods according to their type so you can access them quickly when opening the Lazy Susan. For instance, store the canned beans together and the canned corn together to make your Lazy Susan function best. If cans are out of order and scattered, it may defeat the purpose of using this quick-access device.
- PullaShelf.com suggests storing baking pans in the Lazy Susan if you use them everyday. The Lazy Susan keeps the pans out of the busy kitchen area, yet makes them accessible when you need them. Sliding Shelf Lazy Susans will support the weight of baking pans. You don't have to climb into dark, dusty shelves or forget what you packed away with this type of Lazy Susan. The shelf slides on a bar mounted on the cabinet door. It then turns 90 degrees to fit into the corner of your shelf space.
- Spices add flavor and culture to meals. A typical kitchen can have more than 40 different spices stored away. Use a Lazy Susan to store all your spices for easy access, preventing you from having to reach up high or around other objects in the cabinet. Arrange spices according to height so you can identify them easily when opening the Lazy Susan door. Also, place the most commonly used spices at the front of the shelf.
