Tools of the Trade!

[GadgetGuy]

Ok guys, here is one of my orange tool boxes that I keep all of my little gadgets. measuring cups & spoons as well as all my knives in.

This method puts everything right in a familiar place without having to spend hours looking for a single prep tool at all! Also, it keeps stuff from getting lost or misplaced!

How do you store your "tools of the trade"?

That's good. But I note you said one of my orange tool boxes. Err... how many do you have?

Be careful with the knives stored like that.
My measuring cups and spoons now fit nicely in an ice cream bucket.

Everything is handy for me.

I won't if you won't.

Don't forget that I still have & use THESE. ALSO. I plan to add wooden spoons, both slotted & solid, along with a wooden spatula.

A good cook that has a well-stocked tool collection in the kitchen is almost like a surgeon having a well-stock collection of surgical instruments in his operating room!!

A well stocked kitchen is easier to cook in too.

Two. The other one is for keeping accessories in for the computers.

That's a relief!

I keep all my tools in a drawer. We have a drawer for tools and a drawer for knives, forks and spoons. Except for cooking knives which are in a block on the kitchen counter.

I have a cooking knife drawer. No block here. Or should I say a sharps drawer.
The next drawer over is silverware.

Silverware sounds posh! We don't have any here, just stainless steel. I remember my Nan used to bring out silver on special occasions. But most of the time it was kept in a wooden box lined with dark blue velvet. Funny the things you remember.

It is referred to as silverware but yes it is actually stainless steel. Actual silverware is typically stored in a wooden box. And no I don't want to mess with the posh stuff.

I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I think real silver need a lot of cleaning.
