Stainless Steel Kitchen Utensil Holder for Spoons and Ladles

The wooden spoon is in the second drawer under the sieve. So you stir with whatever is already on the counter, and the wooden spoon stays in the drawer for another month.

What Are the Key Features of This Stainless Steel Kitchen Utensil Holder?

• It decides which tools you use - the ladle standing beside the hob gets used; the one under the sieve in the second drawer does not, whatever you paid for it.
• Somewhere for the wet spoon - between two stages of cooking the used spoon drips into the holder instead of leaving a ring on the counter or sliding into the pot.
• Stainless steel - the material named in this listing. If it is steel, it takes the heat of a ladle straight out of a pot and will not stain from turmeric.
• Two sizes, and length is the decider - Small and Large are sold; long-handled ladles and whisks want the larger one, because a tall tool in a short holder tips the whole thing over.
• Judge the height and diameter from the photographs before ordering - those are the two numbers that decide whether it topples and how much it holds.

Where Can You Use This Kitchen Utensil Holder?

• On the counter beside the hob, within one arm's reach of the pot
• In a corner of a small kitchen where a drawer cannot be spared
• Next to a portable stove on a balcony kitchen, where there is no drawer at all
• Holding a group of grilling tools together

Why Is Steel Better Than Plastic or Ceramic for a Utensil Holder?

• It decides which tools you use - anything in a drawer competes with everything else in it, and the winner is whatever happens to be on top.
• Somewhere for the wet spoon - laid on the counter it leaves a ring, balanced on the pot it slides in, stood in a holder it drips into the holder.
• The right material for a wet, hot corner - plastic there goes cloudy and holds the smell of a garlic spoon; ceramic is heavy and chips at the rim.

Material & Build

• Stainless steel - the material named in the listing.
• Whether the base is solid or perforated decides whether water from wet handles sits at the bottom.

Dimensions

• Sold in Small and Large.
• On a utensil holder, height is what decides whether a long ladle topples the whole thing - pick the larger size if your tools are long.
• Diameter and base width matter here: the diameter decides how many tools fit before you are digging through them the way you dug through the drawer; the base width decides how stable it is when one leans out over the edge.
• On an open holder, empty weight is a stability figure, not a shipping one.
