Select a few important pieces of essential cookware – a couple of pots, a frying pan, some cooking spoons, a spatula, and utensils for the first day you’re in your new home.

Put blank newsprint (or ripped-open paper bags) between the items. Fill in spaces with wadded newsprint.

Seal and mark “Kitchen.” On the box you need for cooking when you arrive, mark “Kitchen – First Day.” You’re all done!
