Rae on Feb 14, 2016Always think as far away from the stove or oven as possible due to the heat factor. I am envious as to what you imagination can do with all the new slide outs they have made for this purposeHelpful Reply

John Grimley on Feb 14, 2016My parents had this dilemma many years ago in a huge kitchen. Being North facing (so never really getting much direct sunlight) and having two exterior walls, we decided that the best place was in the corner of the two exterior walls. I removed a small window and bricked it up. Instead of sealing the inside wall, I left vents to allow the pantry to 'breathe' (I made sure the door to the kitchen was able to seal out the cold air/draughts). This created a large, walk in pantry which was bone dry but always very cool in summer.Helpful Reply

Sandie on Feb 14, 2016I had my hubby (who's also my contractor) add a pantry to my kitchen.i was lucky that we had a small entry closet that butted up to the kitchen wall, so he closed the opening to the closet and built another opening that opened to the kitchen it was the perfect space,plenty of room and then he ordered a frosted glass door that said Pantry on it. he did a beautiful job and I love it. The pantry is located next to the fridge and across from the stove.Helpful Reply

Tina on Feb 14, 2016Corners are best if you have that option. My pantry has a heat issue because it back wall is exterior. We had trees there when we built but they've died due to oak wilt. I wish I had thought of that!Helpful Reply

Nancy Denick on Feb 14, 2016I imagine you'll use it for snack foods, so put it as close to the sofa as possible. Just kidding. Our pantry is far from the fridge and I find that very inconvenient when making cereal or gathering together baking ingredients.Helpful Reply
