Keep reusable utensils practical away from home by planning where they go after use as carefully as how they leave the house. Gather clean reusable utensils, a washable pouch, and a separate washable liner or container.
Set it up
Choose only the utensils the outing is likely to require and pack them clean and dry in their dedicated pouch.
Put the idea to work
After use, place the utensils in the separate liner or container so food residue does not spread inside the main bag.
Finish and keep it useful
Wash the utensils and the used storage pieces at home, dry them fully, and repack the kit for the next outing. Avoid wrapping used utensils in a loose tissue that can tear and leave residue on other belongings.
Where will your utensils go after use before you can wash them at home?
