After testing dozens of drawer organizers, I've found what works. Here's what to buy.
A junk drawer is the enemy of efficient cooking. Here's the organizer setup that actually works.
The Universal System
Use expandable bamboo organizers. They fit any drawer and can be reconfigured.
The Bamboo Drawer Organizer Set at about twenty dollars fits any drawer size and expands to fill the space.
The Zones
Zone 1 - Utensils: Ladle, spoon, spatula (vertical, handle down).
Zone 2 - Gadgets: Can opener, thermometer, peeler (lay flat).
Zone 3 - Tools: Whisks, tongs, measuring cups.
The Secret
Measure your drawer before buying. Standard organizers won't fit every drawer.
The Setup
- Bamboo expandable organizers - Base layer
- Small bins - For little items
- Knife sharpener drawer organizer - Keeps tools separate
Bottom Line
Measure first, buy expandable, reconfigure as needed. This takes one shopping trip and thirty minutes to set up.
