Muesli in all its variations, nuts, peas, beans and everything else that falls into the category of dry food is best stored in textile storage bags. The reusable, breathable bags are made of cotton and can be easily stowed away on the boat. This keeps the pantry well organised and you can see at a glance when you need to refill the bag as it gets smaller and smaller. The bags and their contents can also be used to cushion plates, glasses or pots if required. They can also be hung up. Thanks to the practical cord, they are easy to open and close.
Incidentally, the bags called Gullrismot available at Ikea fit exactly into the wooden boxes of the Knagglig type, which are also available in Swedish furniture stores. The bags are of course washable and can be used again and again for years. They are made of 100 per cent cotton. Dimensions: height 24, width 14, depth 10 centimetres, capacity 3.3 litres. For two pieces of Gullrismot you pay a favourable 3.50 euros. So it's best to stock up right away. There is also a larger version that is ideal for storing or serving bread and rolls. However, the fabric bags are not protected against moisture from the outside.
Pleasant fragrance
If you want to get a whiff of the sea air below deck, you should buy one of these candles: The English label "True Grace", for example, has the Seashore candle on offer. And it smells like long walks on the beach, fresh and tart at the same time. It contains notes of neroli, moss and geranium. The candle in a reusable jar does not soot and burns for around 40 hours. 46 euros.
Maritime motifs on the crockery
It doesn't always have to be plain, colourful creates a good mood and variety. The "Bord le mer" crockery range includes plates, cups, mugs, bowls and platters with maritime motifs. The items made from China porcelain can be ordered individually and customers can put together their own set of tableware. The shop is well worth a visit, with lots of maritime items such as cutlery and decorations to discover. The prices of the crockery: from 18 euros for a dinner plate, for example.
Pantry tip: make better use of leftovers
Most people like to save leftovers and then often dispose of them at some point. A tasty and practical way to make good use of leftover vegetables: Pickle courgettes, onions, peppers, mushrooms or tomatoes in olive oil, salt, chilli and garlic and put them in the fridge. This keeps for longer and tastes more intense than vegetables that have only been cooked and is great as an antipasti or snack between meals.
