Where do you keep kitchen utensils?

[mumumental]

I now have no less than 3 big pottery jars on the worktop containing fish slices, ladles, wooden spoons or other crap. Please let me know your better solutions! I’m in the mood for a clear up.

Mine are in a top drawer beneath the hob. The hob straddles two drawers side by side. The second drawer contains all my herbs and spices. It’s perfect.

Where do you keep kitchen utensils?

In the kitchen.

It would be a bit of a nuisance if I was cooking dinner and I had to keep trotting back and forward to the garden shed, or up and down to the loft.

I used to keep a lot on worktops justifying it with the fact that I cook a lot. But I've thinned out my collection and keep a small selection hanging on from a rail on a wall (big whisk, sieve etc) and a few slices, spatulas and tongs on spinny hooks attached under top cupboard. Everything else in drawer apart from a small box in a cupboard - things like cookie cutters, baking beans - that I don't use so often.

I have a knife block and one drawer.

Knives in knife block. One jar with wooden spoons and spatulas. All the rest, so all types of graters, garlic press, ladles, big spoons, fish slices, slotted spoons, ice cream scoop, scissors, tongs, corkscrew, palette knives, colander, sieves etc hang on hooks on a rack attached to the ceiling by chains, above the sink. Easily to hand and I like the look.

I have one jar which fits the ones I use the most. Then a drawers for the less used ones next to the knives and forks. How often do you use that fish slice?

Top drawer next to the cooker.

Thank you everyone . I have to admit, I totally forgot I had started the thread!

I hadn’t thought of using a magnetic knife strip for extra things. Clever idea. I don’t have deep drawers, although perhaps I should remove the plastic ‘organiser’ so I can fit more in. I will also have to trim down the spoons a bit, dammit.

I have a hanging rail on the wall behind my hobs with hooks for utensils, it's from Amazon & fixes on by suction. I'm in council housing & have very few drawers to store such things in.

In pots like you. One for metal or plastic utensils and another for wooden.
