Just the essentials

We're a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.

He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.

I did this for a few years and it was amazing.

Sometimes you need more than one teaspoon during a meal? Say if you have soup and tea and hate to eat soup with the tablespoon.

premature optimisation

lol two spoons and a fork, what a waste. i only use one spoon for everything.

edit: ooh i get it now, they have a significant other who sometimes visits. (big spoon, small spoon)

It's all he needs

He is not your friend, he is just keeping you around for a time when he can't find some else and feels the urge to kill again.

I actually love this. It’s clean organized and simplified!

Been there done that

He never has dishes

Is your friend Bill Dauterive?

I mean it at least forces you to do your dishes

That's one beautiful teaspoon

That would make sense, it's the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn't know

I've got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can't pile up if they don't exist.

Excuse me, it goes: Fork->Knife->Spoon->tea spoon.

I don't know what this is but it's certainly not in keeping with the lord's way.

Knife should be on the left and the spoons on the right. Fite me.

I was so bad at keeping on top of washing my dishes in Uni that I absolutely decided to have exactly 1 plate, cup, mug,and each cutlery. Can't have more dirty dishes than you have dishes.

See, if I had that guys place you would find these 4 utensils in the sink because I'm a monster

OP is a fancy one with their actual silverware. When i was a bachelor, it was box of plastic forks, box of plastic spoons, and box of plastic knives.

you can honestly get by with just a spoon. need a butter knife? use the spoon handle. need to jab something? just scoop it instead. need to cut something? just cook it a little more so it gets soft

Did they borrow these from a restaurant. I just find it more menacing to just buy 1 of each, searched online and I can’t find a single reasonably priced utensil set that only sells 1 of each in the set.

I have 4 of each just in case I don't feel like doing the dishes today

You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.

Replace the fork and spoon with a spork.

Fewer utensils to clean!

No pie server - what kind of barbarian is this?

This is me. It's perfectly fine until something, somehow, goes missing.

That's more than enough. I've survived for long with just a knife and a fork. A good knife works as a second fork.

Dude clearly not a big fan of steak.

I use plastic plates, drink directly out of the tap, have one set of chop sticks and my kitchen knife is the pocket knife I carry everyday.

I did this once, it was bliss.

Seems inefficient having to wash everything every time? Not sure. But it would irritate me to have to do that rather than doing more, once, at the end of the day.

One too many spoons but perfect otherwise.

I have one fork and nothing else lol.
