ABSTRACT:
A cooking utensil holder for storing cooking utensils with a waste collection tray and a support structure allowing cooking utensils to be oriented in a substantially vertical position and positioned above the floor and within the walls of the removable waste collection tray. The support structure has at least a first and a second utensil opening with the first utensil opening narrower than the second utensil opening and sized to maintain a knife in a substantially vertical position with the handle end pointed away from the waste collection tray. The second utensil opening is wider than the first utensil opening. At least one waste run off opening is provided in the bottom of the support structure and sized to allow liquid and solid waste to collect in the waste collection tray without clogging the waste run off opening when cooking utensils are stored. There is at least one cross member of sufficient thickness to fit between the tines of a fork, and positioned within at least one of the first and second utensil openings to maintain the tines above any waste collected in the waste collection tray, when resting on the at least one cross member. There is also at least one cooking utensil support associated with each of the cooking utensil openings to maintain the working end of a non-fork cooking utensils above any waste collected in the waste collection tray.
