Stocking a kitchen is an ongoing project. While some items last practically forever (cast iron pots and pans well-maintained cutting boards and chopping boards etc.) many items need to be replaced every year or so. Here are the pantry items kitchen tools and cleaning supplies that I keep up to date.

While whole spices like nutmeg peppercorns and cinnamon sticks can stay potent for three years or more ground spices and more delicate leafy herbs lose their potency within a year or so. They’re still safe to use but they won’t have the same potency. That’s why it’s best to buy them in smaller quantities unless there are certain ones that you use up more quickly. In my house we regularly use a lot of chili powder granulated garlic and lemon pepper so we go heavy on those.
