Finding cans, jars and small boxes of food inside kitchen cabinets is a whole lot easier if you make a simple tiered riser. First, empty the cabinet then cut three 2×4s slightly shorter than the inside width of the cabinet. Slide two of the 2x4s against the back of the cabinet and stand them up on edge. Take the third 2×4 and lay it flat in front of the other two to create a two-tier step or riser. Now place taller items in the back and medium and smaller items in front. Even if they overlap each other you’ll still be able to see what’s in the back.
