Don’t be confined to using the typical drawer organizers for flatware. The typical organizer works well for alot of people but it falls short for many as well. The typical organizer I am speaking of separates your fork, knives and spoons into small compartments shaped like the utensil it is supposed to hold. You know what I’m talking about. They typically only hold 6-8 pieces each.
In our house we can go through that many spoons in one meal! I don’t do dishes after every meal and I don’t want to. We have a great number of forks, knives and spoons so a typical organizer won’t work for us. I have small rectangular wire organizers that hold pieces at a time. I have one for forks, one for knives, one for spoons, one for serving spoons and a few more. It works well for me because I still keep the different utensils separated but I can hold many more without one type spilling into another type.
Another option, a client uses is the small wire utensil carrier. This is the carrier that keeps her utensils standing up. She only has 4 people in her house and she doesn’t even set the table. She just grabs the carrier at every meal and sets it in the middle of the table for people to grab what they need. It is a unique solution and it works for her. Think outside the box and think what might work for you and your family.
