Cutlery Modular Kitchen Basket

The tray is divided into various sections to hold different styles and lengths of cutlery. Spoons, forks, knives, dessert spoons and more find a home in this type of modular kitchen basket. Usually, the tray is located right below the cooking station for ease of access. The choice of material varies, but many prefer non-corrosive material since wet cutlery can rust the trays over time.

These baskets get full marks for keeping the kitchen looking pretty.
