How do you store your kitchen utensils?

June4bride2be · February 2012

I have way too many cooking utensils to put them in a drawer, so smaller ones (measuring spoons, rubber spatula, can opener, ice cream scoop, etc) are in a drawer and larger (serving spoons, ladle, flippers, slotted spoon, meat tenderizer, etc) are in a bucket on the counter. I hate that they are exposed to the air/dust/etc and then just get used on the food.

I need a new way to organize these things, what do you do?

All mine are in drawers. The silverware drawer has the ice cream scoop in it (bc I use it daily haha). Then there is one drawer for the smaller stuff - measuring spoons and cups, can opener, jar opener, apple slicer, etc. And 1 drawer for all the big stuff - flippers, spatulas, big plastic spoons.

Reason # 369 that I think we have outgrown our house...not enough drawers!

We have the same. They are in drawers and then we have two stainless "buckets" on the counters for things like serving spoons, spatulas, etc (the popular stuff).

We just do the bucket thing on the counter too, but our house literally only has one drawer and that has the silverware in it, so that was basically the only option. We got a little drawer thing to put in the one cabinet next to our stove, kind of like this: https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=11197310&RN=1011&

but the wooden spoons and spatulas that get used most often just stay out in the open.

Mine are in drawers but I have been meaning for years to get hooks to hang them on over the stove.

The spatulas and spoons I use most are in a ceramic jug next to the stove. I use most of the things in there at least a couple times a week, so I don't worry as much about them. Some of the things in there that I use sporadically I'll wash quick before using. Everything else is in drawers. I don't have too much drawer space with our cabinets, but I do have a kitchen cart with 2 drawers that hold the bulk of my baking tools.
