Show me your drawers people. I'll rate them.
I will add, if it works for you that's all that matters.
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
fuck me, our drawers are positively princely compared to you lot
This made me spit my water ๐๐๐๐
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 person shaped thing is the top half of a tea steeper, handled thing looks like a jar opener of some description
You're right about the person, the other white thing is a potato peeler facing away ๐
That weird looking human thing I reckon is some sort of bottle opener.
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 ๐๐๐
tea man
Oh gosh. @Taleya@aussie.zone was right. I've never seen anything like this in my life. He's kinda ugly cute.
I had another one that's a sloth, but I'm not sure where that's gone.
He's so very ugly cute ๐ perf if I just want to make one cup of loose leaf tea.
Fuck we own some scissors.... and the third drawer is a disgrace. I'll fix it next week when I'm on leave.
So, so many scissors!
So colourful. That middle picture is beautiful. Rings on measuring spoons and cups shit me so they get removed immediately. The mandolin is danger.
The mandolin is in the very top half drawer for a reason, because it bites!
Tread carefully.
ohh I think that bottom piccy wins here. Impressive chaos.
The simplicity is superb. But how do you eat icecream?
With the fork, of course
At the end of the day, if we're being honest, practically that'd do pretty much everything.
Yeah. โ
Needs a wooden spoon.
Challenge accepted ...lol
Beautiful. Knives, forks, spoons. Any other way is wrong. Great job.
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.
You can even sing it
I'm impressed. Genuinely. I think I'd go knife, fork, spoon, steak knife but close enough. โ
I don't have steak knives. When I cook the steak is tender enough to cut with a dinner knife.
It's a little sad because I still have a fair bit to load in. And I lost my bottle opener in the move

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
Oh darling that's not bad. Have you seen Eagle's? Nah you're doing good mate. โ
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.
Oh shit yeah. My cake forks have turned into forks for tuna cans. ๐คฌ
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
That is more like an average shit gadgets drawer.
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.
