Choosing a pantry
Heat, light, and humidity shorten shelf life, so the best place for a pantry is a dark, dry, cool area of the house that receives little traffic. The exact humidity depends on the types of food stored.

Rotation
Foods have a shelf life, and should be rotated so that the oldest foods are eaten first. This will prevent food spoilage.
