You guys organize your utensils?

(/s btw:-P)

ShaggySnacks ,

It all goes into one pile. Steak knives, paring knives, forks, spoons, butter knives, etc.

Gotta make getting cutlery spicy.

Make sure bandaids are handy - in fact, better through them into the pile too:-P

I bought a drawer organizer and then put the utensils in the slots they fit best in.

Imgonnatrythis ,

I checked the dsm and cutlery drawer organization is not a criteria for sanity. Deep breath and enjoy your holiday.

Silverware caddy, forks go in the fork shape. :)

Rincewindnz OP ,

I’m taking this as obviously the correct answer if the fancy silverware manufacturer recommends that order.

they have the spoons separating the knives and forks

That’s complete anarchy; I hope you corrected it!

You grab a knife, knife and fork, a fork, a fork and spoon or a just spoon, you never grab a knife and spoon.

Rincewindnz OP ,

I’m glad someone else is outraged as I was, enough to make a shit post about it on the internet anyway.

It’s worse than mixing dessert and soup spoons!

Wouldn’t it be more ergonomic to have some space between commonly-paired utensils when grabbing them?

diodorus ,

I’m working with , left to right, big fork, little fork, little spoon, big spoon, butter knives, then perpendicular above them are a clutter of baby sized versions, and above that reusable straws

I’m with you OP, left to right ~ Knives ~ Forks ~ Spoons~ plus the tea spoons go in their own auxiliary area.

andrewta ,

Organize?

What’s this organize thing you speak of?

Rincewindnz OP ,

I take it that thinking about organising my utensil drawer means I have too much free time? But hey I like to think about things.

andrewta ,

Actually it’s a joke, and a reference to a movie (although I do forget which movie).

Knives, forks, table spoons and tea spoons separately, that’s eating cutlery, cooking cutlery like bigger knives, ladles etc is bunched up in the biggest compartment

my_hat_stinks ,

Do people really put so much thought into it? I added a separator to my drawer and the cutlery got whatever slot they were randomly thrown into, so I’ve got forks, knives, spoons, more spoons, and teaspoons (I have a lot of spoons for some reason). I’m not attached to that layout and if it changed I wouldn’t really care.

Rincewindnz OP ,

Probably not, I was curious. It’s a pretty petty thing to be annoyed about.

The internet is full of people that may like to share some idiosyncrasies for the entertainment. These things are unique and at the end of the day is truly unimportant.

Except I’m right and that person that has no divider at all is possibly on watch lists.

Salad fingers?

verity_kindle ,

I don’t.

I place them in the same order the table should be made (clockwise order): forks, spoons, knives.

Moving the spoons one step sounds reasonable I guess but I’d never switch places of the forks and the knives. If the order was knives, forks I’d have to switch hands to grab them and that thought bothers me more than I thought it would. TIL this is a pet peeve of mine

Well, since I have a prefab divided organizer, I use what it came with: knives, forks, teaspoons, tablespoons, smaller forks. Now, in our case, we have table and salad forks, though the salad forks we have lack the dedicated “cutting” edge.

There’s also two other sections that aren’t shaped for specific utensils. One is on the left of the table knives, and is used for our steak knives and a couple of paring and utility knives. The other is smaller and is under the forks & spoons. That’s used for crap like corn cob holders and such that is rarely used.

Now, I’m used to that layout because we’ve had that organizer since I was a kid, so I wouldn’t change now. But, ideally, I would have the two types of forks next to each other, effectively swapping the teaspoons and salad forks in placement.

And that drawer doesn’t contain the “fancy” utensils like dedicated fish forks and such, we keep those in a bag in another drawer because the truth is that they’re never more useful than a regular fork for casual home dining. They serve a purpose when you’re having a fairly narrow range of dishes that you just aren’t going to fuck with often.

My psychopath ex-wife took out the separator and just dumped them all in at random. Only one of the reasons she’s my ex.

Rincewindnz OP ,

Bonus points, you just use the utensil you pull out. Buttering bread and get a spoon, doable. Go for a soup spoon and end up with a fork, hard mode activated.

nixcamic ,

I have them arranged in the order the little plastic tray has for them. I’ve honestly never thought of the order of cutlery in my friends houses and find your level of obsession with it slightly eccentric, but in an endearing and humorous way.
