Fabulous Flatware Organizers

 

Sort those forks, spoons and even knives (if you don't have a separate knife holder) into a flatware organizer. This is your daily flatware. The best flatware organizers fit inside your kitchen drawers and expand to fit the size of your drawer. Not all flatware drawer liners are expandable. So look for a flatware caddy that is expandable. And while you can buy plastic flatware organizers (which do wipe clean easily) in any major discount retailer or kitchen store, you also can buy wood flatware organizers.

 

 

For instance, Organize.com sells the Expandable Bamboo Flatware Caddy. It is a step up in appearance from your plastic flatware caddy. But like anything that's a step up in appearance and quality, it needs a little care. This one needs occasional rubbing with mineral oil to maintain its appearance.

 

As you can see in the picture above, most flatware caddies have several compartments made to hold your daily eating utensils, a few cooking utensils and some smaller odds and ends gadgets like corn holders. This is a fairly standard layout for utensil caddies, whether they're wood or plastic. The main thing to look for is size. Measure your kitchen drawer and buy the biggest flatware caddy, or expandable caddy, to fit it. You'll easily fill up all of the caddy compartments and still be looking for more room. In fact, you may want to put a flatware caddy in more than one drawer if that's an option for you.

 

Utensil crocks and knife blocks or knife holders can carry the overflow that doesn't fit into your flatware caddy (because a flatware caddy usually won't hold every utensil you own whether due to utensil size or flatware caddy available space).

 

If you find that your flatware caddy slides around in the drawer, put a piece of grip liner underneath it. You'll find it in about a dozen colors or patterns at your local discount retailer. Look for Grip Liner Shelf Liner in walk-in retailers in the section where you find contact paper or shelf liner. Dollar stores also sell a limited amount of it (less color/style choices at dollar stores because they're selling overstock, remainders, etc.).

 

By the way, if you have trouble opening bottles and caps or it hurts your hands to do so, just use a little piece of grip liner to grasp and turn the lid; it works better than any jar opener gadget! Grip liner is great stuff for lots of usage besides shelf/drawer liners.
