This could include things like food processors, blenders, or waffle makers that you don\u2019t need all the time.\n</p><p>**Canned Goods and Baking Supplies**\n</p><p>Most canned foods and baking supplies have long shelf lives, so it\u2019s okay if they sit out of reach for a while. Consider storing cans or baking items up here if you only need them now and then, like weekend baking ingredients.\n</p><p>**Cookbooks**\n</p><p>If you have cookbooks you\u2019d like to keep tidy and out of the way, this high cupboard can be a good storage place. I actually use mine for this purpose, and it keeps my books organized without taking up counter space.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-medium wp-image-16002 src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/jokesdaddy.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/10%5C/shutterstock_1236761962-768x576-1-300x225.jpg%5C%22" sizes='\"auto,' srcset='\"https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/shutterstock_1236761962-768x576-1-300x225.jpg' https: alt='\"\"' width='\"300\"' height='\"225\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Here are some more ideas for using those small cupboards above your fridge!\n</p><p>**Pantry Items and Spices**\n</p><p>Just like canned foods, some pantry items and spices can fit well in these cupboards. You might also use a small spice rack to keep your cooking spices organized and out of the way up here.\n</p><p>**Kitchen Towels**\n</p><p>If you buy kitchen towels in bulk, this can be a good storage space for them. Keeping them up high saves room in other drawers and keeps them organized.\n</p><p>**Special Occasion China**\n</p><p>If you have fine china or special cutlery that\u2019s only used for special occasions, storing them above the fridge might make sense. It keeps them safe and out of reach of children.\n</p><p>**Safety Tips**\n</p><p>Always be careful with these cupboards. Avoid storing anything too heavy that could be hard to lift down safely. A sturdy stool or step ladder is best for reaching these items, and remember that the heat from the fridge below can make this space unsuitable for certain items.\n</p><p>What do you use your above-fridge cupboards for?
