    Show me your drawers people. I’ll rate them.

    I will add, if it works for you that’s all that matters.

      I failed miserably to take a pic of my cutlery drawers (I think my phone camera is broken) - so you’ll have to make do with the everyday cooking hooks taken using my laptop camera. Yes I keep coffee sachets in a diced tomato tin. Waste not want not. Includes a portrait of my absolute fab fave aluminium egg flip/general purpose stirrer that I found at a garage sale and have been in love with ever since.

      It’s a little sad because I still have a fair bit to load in. And I lost my bottle opener in the move

      DepressoDrawer2000

      I will get dividers eventually, and I do have more spoons and other cutlery. It just didn’t seem worth taking everything out of its packaging if I don’t need them yet. The stains, chips, and various specs were complimentary, and aren’t interested in moving out

      And I still only have 1 knife. Hoping on Monday I can ask somebody to take my phone and run a knife block through the checkout

          Oi! I will say I have a few years on Baku, and a child that increases your plastic shit tenfold, and a dabble in cake decorating too. But you’re good Baku, you’ve got what you need and that’s more than I had at your age.

            I’ve not included all the cake/sugar work stuff. That’s a whole other set of boxes.

          It’s mostly the lack of things that makes it sad. But anyone, if you want a bonus one, this was the state of chaos(ish) at the last place. I don’t have any photos of it, but one of the housemates did her best to organise it and sent a video which I stole a screenshot from

          spoiler

          It wasn’t too bad, because it was too bad when I moved in. 4 people all cooking their own things and usually waiting until the end of the day (or the next dishwasher cycle) to wash them meant we required a lot of tongs and spatulas. There’s a method to the madness, but it didn’t last longer than 2 days before it was chaotic again

      Everyone here being all like “wah my drawers are so cluttered”

      Well, this is what happens when one doesn't invest in a cutlery divider

        What is that white thing under the swirly straw? Also you need a little container just for the spoons. Fuck the rest. They’ll live.

          The human thing is the top part of a tea diffuser, his pants have the holes in them for the tea to steep, and the top makes it look like he’s in a hot tub. The other white thing is a potato peeler 😂😂😂

          tea man

              I had another one that’s a sloth, but I’m not sure where that’s gone.

              He’s so very ugly cute 😍 perf if I just want to make one cup of loose leaf tea.

            You’re right about the person, the other white thing is a potato peeler facing away 😂

            That weird looking human thing I reckon is some sort of bottle opener.

            I’m impressed. Genuinely. I think I’d go knife, fork, spoon, steak knife but close enough. ✅

              I don’t have steak knives. When I cook the steak is tender enough to cut with a dinner knife.

          That’s my everyday setting. The sporks are with the small cutting knives. I have the brass Thai setting in a box and some spare everyday settings in the second drawer. There is husband’s grandma’s silver plate setting in a wooden canteen in the dresser.

      Fuck we own some scissors… and the third drawer is a disgrace. I’ll fix it next week when I’m on leave.
