      Hi Tom,
      These deep pantrys are always a bit tricky.
      It depends on how you use your pantry ie , things like are many people using it, in which case you need a system that works for everyone, if it's just one main cook, or whether there is much cooking done at all.
      The simplest and most cost effective is, as you suggest, a series of baskets/ containers which categorise things according to either use or size.
      If space maximisation is your goal and you categorise by height, you can then put all the tall bottles together and all the really short things together which will create the opportunity to add another shelf or two. There are also shelf stackers from storage shops such as Howards storage which are a wire stand that sits over the top of your goods to create another level of storage.
      You can also sort the containers into meal combos if you're a quick convenient cook eg, all your bolgonese stuff together all your pad Thai together so when you need a quick meal it's ready to go- depends on your style.
      If you want to spend more money, there are pre fab slide out shelves you can buy (storage shops such as Howards have these)for the lower shelves. This will mean you can pack that space tighter and again add extra shelves in because you don't need the clearance height to reach in.
      If you have more money to spend, you can get a cabinetmaker to do a refit as Luke suggested, or go to the full slide out pantry.

      Finally, if you're keeping what you have, I think those shelves will sag, so adding more shelves to reduce the load in the few you have, or removing them and adding a central divider might be be necessary at some point.
      Ill attach a photo of my kitchen panty, it is shallow, so doesn't suffer the same problem, but you'll see some of the same principle.

      My pantry exactly how it is right now, stays organised because there is little room for disorganisation with use of cheap baskets and categorisation and closely packed shelves. I have tall bottles in drawers under cooktop which helps.

      Shelving vs a pantry "system" addresses accessing the contents in your pantry. However, the storage containers used to hold your food may or may not maximise the best usage of the space in your pantry. This last aspect deserves careful consideration if you are designing a pantry space.

      I moved house a few months ago and am still tweaking my pantry, which consists of shelves (deeper on the bottom half and narrower at the top half). One of the best investments I've made over the years are Tupperware Modular Mates storage containers. The containers can be labelled, contents seen and are stackable. I can stack them to maximise the full height of shelves and sometimes have stacks in front of other stacks for items used less often.

      I also have many open plastic containers for food packets, bottled items, very large spice containers, etc. These containers prevent packages, which don't stack easily, from falling everywhere and can be easily pulled out to access the item of interest. I bought some tall containers at Howard's Storage World and some large Sistema containers at Target and Woolworths (during their 1/2 price sales). Sistema containers are stackable, too. Smaller spice containers (stackable Tupperware Modular Mates again) have been placed on a round wooden carousel in one corner of the pantry.

      I invested in click clack containers for my pantry to organise all the staples we use. They now sit on narrow shelves just as Luke's photo shows for easy access as I am a baker. Spices are on racks inside the door along with slow cooker mixes and sauce. Less used items and extra staple items are organised into pull out baskets. Heavy items, oils etc are down the bottom. Works well for us and everything has its place. Good luck with getting it organised, then hardest part will be train others to put items back where they belong.

      Click Clack containers are another alternative. It would be wise to consider brands of storage containers that are readily available and/or have been around for some time. It's only natural that containers which are often used may break over time (lids from use or containers when accidentally dropped.) You will probably like to replace those pieces with duplicate products. Tupperware pieces have lifetime guarantees. The only problem with them is that sometimes they change the lid colours. ebay can be a great resource when looking to replace lids in colours no longer available. My MIL had some Ikea containers she loved, but when the lids broke and needed replacement, the product was no longer available for sale. Something to consider.

      When most people think of making their cabinets more functional, they think of new kitchens. The cost, time & inconvenience can be prohibitive for some but there are affordable options suitable for DIY installation. Furthermore, many of these solutions can be re-used should do decide to renovate at a later date.

      Hi, shelves just about always waste space. Containers are good but then you still have to dig to the back. See this link showing how you maximise space in a pantry:

      Not sure your location, but if you are in Australia we have an advice service & can work out exactly the solution (based on your internal cabinet dimensions).

      I collected sets of jars and bought these black labels on line. using a white pen to write on them. Everyone is so impressed and it is so easy to keep like this. Just refill and recycle all those empty product boxes and bags.
