Where do you store your food?

[Frnc]

It is interesting that food storage beyond a week or two is not part of the design of most houses isn’t it?

I have more than 2 weeks. Never calculated it, but maybe a month or two. But as I say, if I increase my stocks, I'll probably end up chucking some stuff. I need to get back into having pasta more regularly, then I can use up pasta, sauce, and tuna. Tuna is a good prep item, especially the plastic fridge pots. They only have to go in the fridge after you open them.

Honestly anywhere I can. I’m in a old house with a walk in cupboard/pantry.I have taken over the built in cupboards in the spare room for food/medical storage.I have food stored in a section of garage which is separate from the rest and insulated and I also have a large lined and insulated shed where I store all my dried foods (rice,pasta etc) in a variety of between 5ltr to 20ltr food grade buckets.I also keep my caravan fully stocked on dried and tinned foods just in case.

We are just having a new kitchen, more storage/cupboard space but less worktops. We could not have both and so decided on the cupboard space, if push comes to shove at times such as Christmas when I am feeding the 5000 I will bring in a camping table for extra worktop space. We do have an understairs/pantry which is used for coats, the shoe rack, ironing board, hoover and which would not work as a pantry for me. My prep storage is upstairs in what would have been the original bathroom. However, we need to make this back into a bathroom, it was a bedroom when we moved in and became our eldest daughter and then our son's room. Our bathroom is currently downstairs which is becoming inconvenient for nightime loo visits. Unless our youngest moves out which is unlikely I am going to have to shift my preps to somewhere else so that we can convert the room, no idea where yet though.

My 'prep room' is the original bathroom, and was used as a small bedroom for a lodger's daughter. Our bathroom is at the front. It is actually a slice off the front bedroom, which was originally a big room, and is still a decent size. It's above the hall. Everything is in a row - sink near the door, then toilet, then bath with shower above. Its door was originally the main bedroom door.
They had to chop a corner off the second bedroom to make room for a small L shape at the end of the landing, to put a new door in the main bedroom. I managed to squeeze a wardrobe to to side of that, and a chest of drawers on the other side, i.e. both on the end of the landing. The bathroom is narrow but big enough, with everything in a row. The waste pipe has to run to the back of the house, so the gradient is a bit low, but it works. The original bathroom room is at least 1" lower anyway - there's a step down to that room at the top of the stairs, plus another step onto the landing.
