A blog that I recently discovered, the Perfect Pantry has a whole section devoted to Other People's Pantries. Literally hundreds of pantry ideas.

Also over on the gallery side there is a pantries thread here on GW.

Thank you, laxsupermom!

Welcome to the forum, Arundhati! Rather than have everything in one kitchen pantry, we have the items we need at each station: cereal and crackers near the fridge, flours and baking good near the baking station, etc. We have a 10x8 room in our basement that we call the "root cellar" where we keep all our cases of food, bulk items, wine, home-canned food, upright freezer, emergency food and water, and seasonal dishware, extra glassware, etc., so we actually are taking out our not-well-laid-out pantry in the kitchen during our remodel. We can keep enough canned goods in the cupboard near the range for everyday needs, and once a month or so "go shopping" in the basement. Anyway, to your question: In looking for a better way to store our bulk items in the basement, I found the "first-in-first-out" storage rack systems called ShelfReliance. They also sell inserts for pantries called Cansolidator. Perhaps you could use one or two of these in the right width for a shelf or two in your pantry. It would eliminate the expense of a pull-out, and eliminate having to search for items in the back of a standard shelf.
