When Stanley Tucci shows us how to make a new dish or cocktail, it's almost impossible to take your eyes off him to see how the dish or cocktail is made. behind Meeting him is sure to teach you a lot about how the magic happens. In one of his latest Instagram videos, published on April 29, Tucci shared how he plates and garnishes a margarita, but he also gave his followers a behind-the-scenes look at how he styles his kitchen.
In the video, which has garnered over 70,000 likes, eagle-eyed fans noticed Tucci's impressive kitchen organization tips, which keep everything he needs to make a delicious meal within reach — and we're not just talking about regular pots and pans.
Rather than using rails to show off all of her pots and pans (similar to how The Pioneer Woman styled her pots and pans in her kitchen), Tucci uses hooks behind the stove to store kitchen shears, a tea strainer, measuring cups, a funnel, and some metal utensils—all tools you'll want to have on hand when mixing summer cocktails.
A Tucci utensil rail is installed above the shelves that store mortars and pestles and cups of ingredients, eliminating clutter and creating a minimalist-inspired space where you can easily access what you need, making it easy to reach for items you'll reach for again and again, especially when making drinks.
Placing hooks together on the shelf also helps visually separate the tools you need for different purposes, so you won't have to reach for the pot when you really need a teaspoon, or vice versa.
Becoming more efficient in the kitchen, like Stanley Tucci, might just make you feel a little sexier the next time you whip up a few must-try margaritas.
