Storing ceramic dishware wrapped in paper.

For this section we looked for a marker that wrote on plastic wrap glass ceramic nonstick metal and stainless steel and came off cleanly even after being heated. Store paper cups and plates in your pantry instead place linens in plastic bins if you have to put them in the garage and purge recyclables often. Whether you choose bubble wrap or butcher paper is up to you. Don t wrap dishes and plates too tight it will only make them more prone to damage.

Then wrap the ceramic piece in tissue paper and use bubble wrap to add another buffer. For durable break resistant dishes such as corelle plates you can wrap with less paper between each but allow at least two layers of paper. I also recently discovered these silicon suction lids that turn bowls you already have into fridge storage. Wrap plates in packing paper or bubble wrap.

For storage in your home paper should suffice. Use tape to secure the materials in place. I also ditched the plastic wrap plastic and bpa wax paper and foil aluminum when we made the switch and instead i use this homemade reusable food wrap from mommypotamus to cover bowls and dishes instead. Keep the area open or conceal with a hinged cabinet door.

Put essentials on top. That means anything with a lid or saucer should have those pieces wrapped individually as well. The cardboard is great and does a fantastic job protecting things. We re hoping this isn t new information but your dinnerware is best protected when each individual piece is wrapped.

Depending on the size of your ceramic item choose an appropriately sized shipping box that can snugly accommodate the item with a bit of space for more packaging materials such that the fragile ceramic is not in direct contact with the sides of the box. First wrap each item in bubble wrap paper too if i remember then in the single face corrugated cardboard then peanuts. When packing more fragile porcelain stoneware or china do not be shy with paper. Do it one by one so there is no contact between their surface.

Wrinkled or overlapped paper provides more cushioning. Use it to stash items including holiday decorations kitchen supplies like pots pans serving dishes and plates suitcases and patio furniture and take care to store what you can in air. Make your kitchen even more stylish and functional by storing dishes where you can see and access them easily. Whatever important you may possibly need during the move don t place it beneath the plates.

Avoid the confusion by writing your name on everything you bring from pie plates to actual dishes.
