DIY PANTRY GATHERING TRAY USING A PIZZA PAN

 This was something that I made that has been invaluable now with the pantry and the larger kitchen/island.

I was at the store one day and found this deep dish pizza pan on clearance.  It was only $5.  I didn't buy it for us to make pizza (2nd Man has a cast iron pizza pan for that).  I bought it to create something else useful.  Super easy project, if you can even call it a "project", ha.  I picked up some of the large thick felt pads like the ones that go on the bottom of chairs...


...and stuck them on the bottom.  For what you might ask?

For this!


It's what we call a "gathering tray" (the high side is what I liked about it).  When we go into the pantry, we can gather up the ingredients we need and put them on this tray, then stop off at the freezer or fridge and add more, and then carry it all to the island to work on for the meal.  The felt feet keep it from scratching or clanging on the counters and bonus points, you can grab the edge and pull it or push it around as needed.
