Chances are that the more you cook, the more kitchen utensil you will accumulate. However, it's not only great cooks that need help organizing their utensils. Every kitchen has kitchen utensils that need to be organized at one point or another. Cooking is easier if you have an organized and efficient kitchen. Knowing where you will find the utensils like flatware, knives or spatulas at a moment's notice can be achieved through better kitchen organization. Finding the right utensil to use when cooking can be a little hard if you have a messy kitchen drawer, and you can save a lot of time if you have an organized kitchen.
One tip in organizing your kitchen utensils is to dedicate drawers for each utensil. You can use one drawer with all your flatware and make use of dividers to separate the spoons from the forks as well as the teaspoons. Using another drawer for larger utensils is recommended, as well as using another drawer for miscellaneous objects. Never mix kitchen knives in the drawer and use it for storage, as it might cut your fingers when you are rushing to get other utensils in the drawers.
For items that don't fit the drawers, you can use a basket. You can store ladles, spatulas, oversized spoons, as well as other long utensils on a basket so that you can easily find it. You can put the basket on the countertop or near the cooking area. If you don't want to use baskets, you can hang those using hooks either on the inside of the cabinets or on the wall space.
There are a wide variety of flatware holders and knife caddies that you can purchase that will not only organize your utensil but also decorate your kitchen. They come in almost every color you can think of and can be made of ceramic or even stainless steel. So if your kitchen has a rooster theme you won't have any trouble matching your utensil organizer to your kitchen's theme.
My final tip is when storing the kitchen utensils in the drawers, put the items that are frequently used in the front part for easy access. Also, make sure that the kitchen knives are placed in a safe place that your children cannot reach. There are magnetic knife holders that can be placed in the wall which can also be used for other kitchen utensils.
