Cooking Cutlery

Cooking cutlery includes many implements and takes a disciplined approach to keep it all organized. First step back and take a look at all of the pieces. Then you can appraise the scope of the project and start putting the pieces all together. Some other good tips:

• Remove unused items – Sometimes when cooking, old cutlery just is not used as much as other newer items. If there are older knives in the set, or items that are never used, it may simply be better to throw them out or donate them to charity.

• Keep the knives in the block – One of the most important things to keep in mind when organizing cooking cutlery is to keep it away from children. Knives should be kept in a block that is difficult for children to see or access – placed high above counters or inside a cabinet.

• Set aside an easy access area – Some cooking cutlery is used very rarely, while other pieces might be used almost on a daily basis. For often-used items, keep them separate from other cutlery. For example, a can opener or a vegetable peeler might be better to place in a silverware drawer where they can be more easily accessed.

• Set away – Some cooking cutlery simply does not need to be easily accessible. This is the cutlery that is perhaps only used a couple of times a year. Place special occasion knives in sleeves in a box, only to be removed when necessary.
