Nobody wants to spend a bunch of time rummaging through a drawer looking for a fork. That’s why people use cutlery trays. They keep all your cutlery, utensils and other kitchen tools neatly divided and tidy. This means they save you time and space, keeping the cutlery separated from other kitchenware in the drawer. It also creates a more elegant, cleaner look in your kitchen. You want your kitchen to be well arranged and to look sophisticated and sharp. A cutlery organiser is an absolute essential to accomplishing this ideal aesthetic. What goes in a cutlery organiser? Not only does this organizer give all your kitchen tools a home, but it also keeps them in place thanks to the non-slip gray lining in each compartment. The tray itself also has grippy feet, which is essential for drawer utensil organizers. And if you prefer to keep your everyday silverware and large kitchen tools separate, the brand also offers an expandable tray with five large compartments designed for spatulas, ladles, and more.

There are several types of utensil and cutlery organizers on the market, with options available that come in various sizes and styles.

There are many different opinions on how to organise cutlery “correctly”. One factor is the number and size of the compartments in your cutlery organiser. In the end, though, the arrangement of your cutlery is simply a personal preference. However, the most common and popular method goes left to right as follows: Who it's for: People who want to customize their organization system by adding and removing compartments. Utensil organizers can either store utensils, cutlery, or both. Organizer trays that are solely made for utensils will have larger compartments, while those that can accommodate silverware too will have a mix of both large and small compartments. While you'd technically be able to store flatware in a tray made for utensils, they might slide around quite a bit in the oversized compartments and would be hard to keep looking neat. Most cutlery organizers' compartments are too small to house long-handled utensils, although you'd most likely be able to fit smaller gadgets like potato peelers, small spatulas, and wine openers in them. You'll then want to sort things into sections: Flatware and items that you reach for daily in one area, and other tools that are used more rarely (like pizza cutters) in a separate compartment.

Most utensil organizers are made of plastic with rubber feet so that they stay in place and don't slide around in the drawer. Some also have either rubber inserts or a textured inner surface so that the utensils themselves don't move around in the compartments. Other material options include bamboo or clear acrylic. Without a proper utensil organizer, your kitchen drawers and counters will be a cluttered mess. No matter how much storage space you have in your kitchen, there's a utensil organizer that will neatly store all the tools you use for cooking, serving, and eating. Wall-Mounted Organizers: If both drawer and counter space are limited, wall-mounted utensil organizers can make use of often-empty space. These usually come in the form of a mounting rod with hooks that the utensils can hang from. (Most utensils have holes in the handles for this exact purpose.) Dividers: These handy gadgets slot into drawers so you can create separate compartments for utensils to go in. Particularly convenient for long-handled kitchen tools like spatulas and ladles, dividers can give you a more customized outcome than a pre-assembled tray.

Who it's for: People who don't have drawer space and would rather not hang their utensils on a wall.
