How To Organize A Knife Drawer
Storing your knives in an in-drawer organizer not only clears your countertop of bulky knife blocks, it also makes knives easy to grab while keeping blades sharp.
How-To Guide
Getting Started
Getting your knives in order is one of the fastest ways to feel like an accomplished cook. Plus, having an organized knife drawer is a great way to protect your blades from chips and dulling that can happen when knives are loose in a drawer. Before you start, clear the countertop so you have a place to sort through all your knives.
Step 1:
Sort through your knives, recycling or donating any that are broken or that you don't use. Sharpen dull blades.
Step 2: Measure & Line Your Drawer
Use a tape measure to measure the width, depth and height of your drawer. This will help you determine what kind of in-drawer knife organizer will work best for you. Line it.
Step 3: Choose Your Organizer
You'll find a variety of in-drawer knife organizers to choose from. Options include cork, silicone and wood. Choose the one that fits your drawer and your personality.
Step 4: Add Knives
Once you have selected your organizer, add your knives. Don't overcrowd the organizer.
