I use them as "drawers" as they slide in and out easily. I have since added these "drawers" to 2 other shelves in the deep cabinet for baking items that I only use on occasion. It's hard on old knees to get things out of the back of these bottom shelves and this was an inexpensive fix. I also used plastic containers in my fridge to keep like things together. All the cheeses are in one, all the small, single serving items (pudding, jello, applesauce) are in another. Pull it out, get what you want and put it back. Keeps things from getting shoved to the back and lost. Storing plastic containers was a problem until I found underbed storage containers that fit on the shelves in my deep cabinets.
