How to keep your cooking utensils and cutlery organised neatly
Do you spend too much time looking for the right pieces of cutlery or a certain cooking utensil? Then you might want to think about some new organisers for your drawers, kitchen counter or wall space. When the tools for the job all have their proper place, cooking and serving food can be smoother and more enjoyable. Here are some ideas.
Drawers that are a pleasure to open
Trays or racks in drawers can keep cutlery, utensils and knives neatly in order. Some are customisable – such as the light bamboo UPPDATERA cutlery tray with removable dividers. Or the UPPDATERA adjustable organiser for drawer, made of a sound-dampening soft material, whose dividers you can re-size and rearrange.
Hanging handily on the wall
Knives held on a magnetic rail or utensils hung from hooks are always within easy reach – and unused areas of wall become valuable storage space without major renovation. If you can’t or don’t want to drill, consider storage with suction cups that stick firmly to tiles or glass (look for names like ÖBONÄS and TISKEN).
Stand-up storage for the counter or shelf
A cutlery stand or kitchen utensil rack can look as good on a shelf, for clean and dry items, as they do by the sink for your washing up. The UPPDATERA cutlery caddy has a useful handle, so that you can easily pick it up from the kitchen drawer, shelf or worktop when you want to set the dinner table.
