I wasn't talking about a reamer. I was talking about the one with handles, which would be a two handed operation for me. No thanks.
See how good I am? One less thing is cluttering up my kitchen tool drawers already. 0:-)

My hood is too low for that. If I had utensils hanging on it, they would only be a screen.

Oh I see! No, mine is very high! I've not measured it but at a guess... Oh hell. Here's a pic I took for Kili':
Ps, thanks to you, I now have one of those little blue glass fish shaped ginger graters, and so does sis'. I gave it to her for Christmas in a stocking stuffer. <g> She knew instantly what it was too when she opened it! I did not know that sis' was as bad of a kitchen gadget addict as I was. I've used mine a couple of times and it does work better for grating ginger than the box grater!
And it's cute. <g> -- Peace! Om

The front was what I was envisioning before you showed me you photo. Actually, I'm over hanging those things. When I was first married, I hung cups under the counters. I don't do that anymore. I have my crock where I keep some often used utensils and those messy drawers house I showed you have the rest. The drawer on the left of the stove is where I keep my pot holders, the one on the right is where my wok utensils, rolling pins, measuring cups etc are kept. I can reach what I need easily.

I keep tongs and stuff in the drawer to the right of the stove along with some misc tools as well as my favorite knife to keep it away from dad. He dulls the hell out of them by insisting on sharpening knife blade against knife blade. I cannot get him to stop it! -- Peace! Om

but the strategy of moving it out of the drawer to somewhere else (at least for a little while) seems a sound one.
