To organize baking mats, one effective method is to roll them up, often paired together, and store them upright in a dedicated stand or container.
Rolling and Standing Baking Mats for Tidy Storage
Keeping baking mats organized helps protect them and makes them easy to access. A practical approach involves preparing the mats for storage and then finding a suitable place for them to stand vertically.
Based on one organizational strategy, a good first step is to store them in a non-stick way. This can be achieved by rolling the mats up. One technique is to roll them up two-by-two in cotton tea towels. The towels provide a layer between the mats, helping prevent sticking and maintaining their condition.
Once rolled, these bundles need a place to stand upright to stay organized and easily accessible. A file folder stand can serve as an excellent solution for this. As an example, a white metal file folder stand was found in the as-is section at Ikea for $1.95, demonstrating that organizational solutions can be affordable and repurposed.
By rolling the mats and storing them vertically in a stand, you can:
- Prevent sticking: The towel layer keeps mats separate.
- Save space: Storing vertically utilizes cabinet or pantry height.
- Ensure easy access: Mats are visible and can be pulled out individually.
This method provides a simple yet effective way to keep your baking mats tidy and ready for your next baking project.
