slo’s TUESDAY 8/15 poll - Kitchen Utensils

[slo]

Kitchen utensils, we all have them - where do you keep yours?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..Mine are kept in 3 different drawers. One drawer is for frequently used items, one is for silverware & knives and the other drawer is for less frequently used items. None are kept on the counter.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

We keep them in one of those spinning holders on the counter. We also keep some in a couple different drawers... we have way too many

 

[Wood Nymph]

I have a wooden box with wooden spoons on the counter and a big drawer with dividers for the utensils.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I have a ton of wooden spoons on counter and then about 3 draws full of various weapons to use but still use the same 3 things every time I cook

 

[Kitty 34]

I have some in my utensil drawer and my most used in a ceramic container on the counter.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I have a spinnng holder on the counter that holds most of our utensils. Less often used utensils are in one drawer.

 

[RedAngie]

A canister on the counter for frequency used utensils. Also on the counter is a block for knives.

Flatware in a tray with dividers in one drawer. A few other utensils are in there too: can opener, potato peeler, etc.

Less frequently used utensils in another drawer.

Some rarely used things in a bin on a pantry shelf.

 

[bobbiwoz]

2 drawers are full, and then a couple utensils are in a cabinet.

 

[firefly_ris]

Drawers, nothing on the counter. If I had a big kitchen with an island maybe I would but as it is the less clutter the better.

Pretty much like you, Sandy. Three drawers, same reasons.

 

[MommaKetch]

I have 3 drawers that I use. The top one is frequently used tongs, spoons, and spatulas. Below that is a drawer with almost everything else. Some prep tools are over in the silverware drawer.

Just seeing the 3 drawers in your comments @slo, @Dan Murphy, & @WDWEPCOT

 

[Meriweather]

Way too many.....I love kitchen things
Big holder on the counter by the stove that has wooden and silicone spoons, rubber and silicone spatulas, whisks and pasta spoons
At least six drawers with other things.....can openers, ice picks, peelers, silicone brushes, corn cob holders, tongs, graters, measuring spoons and cups, and a bunch of other things.
Knives are on a wood holder on the counter with the others in a drawer also
Silverware in a drawer also

I have them a lot of places.

I have a ceramic canister with most-often-used items on the counter near the stove, and a drawer with other often used stuff. DH insists on keeping his grilling tools in that drawer also, although I’d like to move them.

I have another drawer with less often used items (table linens and potholders are also in that drawer.)

Then I have a drawer for table silverware and another that’s just “sharp stuff” like knives, vegetable peeler, etc.

 

[Sacahara]

Okay so I have a knife set by the oven, a jar (of dirt! lol couldn't help myself) of utensils like your provided picture on another cabinet, a drawer for cutlery, a drawer of 'whatever just put it in here's, and a 'I forgot we had this drawer...well that explains where the can opener went!'.

 

[ronandannette]

The essential ones are in a holder in easy reach of the stove and the other 1,000 or so random pieces are in a huge drawer. It’s a pain to root through and sometimes impossible to spot something that’s right there in plain sight, but I can’t think of a better way.

 

[Moliphino]

I have a ceramic utensil holder on the stove that holds the most commonly used spatulas and spoons. Others live in various kitchen drawers.

 

[Praying Colonel]

We have a big glass utensil holder on the stove, we keep most of our knives in a holder on the counter and the rest are in a couple of drawers.

I quoted the first one, thinking "yep, that's my kitchen too"...then I got to the next one and thought "oh yeah, there's a knife block by the spinny thing as well"...then I read one I forgot to quote that mentioned grill tools (the really long ones are in the cabinet over the fridge)

...so all in all, I'm right back to the first quote - way too many, in several spots around my kitchen!
