I love our whisks, my DH loves our whisks, we both hate how we store
our whisks.

Upright in a jar they snag and get tipped over, in a drawer they get
tangled with other utensils, the hanging hooks in my kitchen are
behind the stove (which is just dumb) and the space between the
cupboards and counter is too narrow to put new ones there.

How do you store your whisks?

I have been contemplating muslin bags to put on mine so they are not a
bundle of wires waiting to grab you when they are standing in a jar.

Making them little muslin caps sounds like a wonderful idea. You could even
get decorator cute with it, and it would keep them safe from cat hair, dust
bunnies, mosquito fingerprints and whatever unspeakables might come flying
through. You've reminded me of how badly I need to go through my kitchen
gadgets and shed some of them. Such as, I've had a book on how to garnish
and about a dozen interesting gadgets to go with it for more than 10 years.
Never used them. Perhaps it's time. Polly

Howdy!

"making them little muslin caps" - Sweetie, you need a nap!
Or at least a tall glass of ice tea & a spell of sitting
in the easy chair beside the a/c vent. ... mercy!

When we had the kitchen countertops replaced last month, dust went
EVERYwhere, including inside closed drawers, soooo I went thru' all the
cabinets and drawers, pulled out everything, put back what was immediately
needed. The rest has been sitting here in 3 baskets... I think I won't
use most of it again. I'll sift thru' it once more (got to save those
jillion popsicle sticks!) before I cart it all down to the Goodwill store.
The whisks sit in the utensil crocks beside the stove; they don't get
snagged or scrunched up (don't put too much in the crocks; probably
don't need most of the utensils, anyway <g>). There are leftover
crocks, now, that have moved to the sewing table; I've been able to find
my rotary cutter ever since! ;-P
Too much is good for fabric stash, but not for kitchen stuff. YMMV

I'll second that. Maybe long island iced tea?
I have a couple of nice pfaltzgraff canisters
that have no tops. They make great holders for
kitchen tools on the counter. They are big enough
to hold everything without too much confusion and
look nice.

hey Ragmop,
i didnt read thru this but when i saw it i thot it might be put to good use
down in your neck of the woods.
use'n up those sticks and you get a useful box at the same time.
off to bed now, watch some of the games then if i can stay awake long enough
i'll see who is on Letterman.
hmm, a thot just struck me....i wonder if those whisks could be a good place
to store some spools of thread so they dont get away from ya when quilting.
could probly get a few spools inside one of the big ones, stand it up in
that
new sewing box.
hth,
j. :-)
