While some people take pride in needing only one shot to get the ball directly from the tee into the cup on the green, others prefer to make their move in the kitchen. Both, though, need some way to keep their things organized: Golfers have their caddies, and kitchens have utensil caddies. Utensil caddies can, and should, be fun, inviting and easily incorporated into the kitchen's decor. — Chris from Mele Cotte

olldbobbi Chris, you sold me on the very first caddy by Pfaltzgraff! I wonder if that would work for larger tools, too, like spatulas and slotted spoons. And the best part, affordable!

sclawson My husband is an avid cook, and I am an avid organizer and decorator. We recently moved and I am re-accessorizing. Currently his many, many utensils are organized into 3 large black Kitchen Aid crocks with stainless bases. These used to sit next to the stove. At our new place they go in an appliance garage because of limited counter space. I'd like to find an organizer caddy with 3 or 4 spaces along the line of a silverware caddy, but with bigger, taller compartments. He could more easily slide one organizer in and out of the "garage" as he cooks, but as of yet, I've found nothing that will work. Any ideas on something I could buy, repurpose or make? This one has me stumped.

anoukpantoufle Word of warning about using mason jars for metal utensils. I did this once - thought I had a brilliant idea, using some to organize & display my knives, forks, and spoons. After a little while, the constant contact of metal against glass caused the entire bottom of one to break off! Fortunately, there were no cut fingers, etc. as a result - but I won't do this again.
