Great Way To Keep Kitchen Utensils In Reach

Tweet

In the past, I have kept all my kitchen utensils in a large Clay Pot that I received for a wedding gift. I am finding that I now have too many to store this way. I am having to keep some of them in a drawer. This makes it difficult because I have to search for the right Utensil when I need it. I hate that. I really like to know where everything is so I can grab it quickly. Knowing where everything is will shorten your time in the kitchen. It will also save you from stressing out. Thus making cooking an enjoyable hobby or task. I have just received my Lowes newsletter and in it was the link to a great project to keep all your utensils easy to access. All you need is a curtain rod. They are easy to find at thrift stores or yard sales. The sturdier, the better. I will be choosing a round rod. Spray Paint your rod whatever color you desire. My kitchen is done in black cast iron so I will paint mine black. You will also need the equipment to hang your rod with. Dont forget to paint it to match your rod. You will need enough S hooks to hang all your utinsils with. They suggest 1 1/2 inch S hoks. Since the slotted spoon, wire whip and other utinsels are not heavy this should be really great. Now hang your utensils. You are done. Now how easy was that? I did something similar in my washroom to hang my brooms, mops and even my mob bucket on. I used 2 shelf hangers with a hook on the end and used a broom handle to hang them on. I have plenty of S hooks left so this project will be easy for me to do. I also have a curtain rod that I can use. Now I just need it to get warm so I can go outside and paint it. Allow your rod and hanging equipment to dry before hanging it up. secure the rod to the wall at each end and in the center.
