Flatware drainer

When we moved into our new apartment, we didn't have a flatware drainer to use. This is mostly because the flatware drainer we had was actually the silverware tray for the dishwasher. We never actually used the dishwasher, except as a leftover yogurt container storage facility.

To correct this situation, I used one of our many empty yogurt containers, a few twist-ties (wire, zip-ties, or paperclips would do just fine), and a utility knife.

Step 1: Clean the container

We accumulate these containers like mercury in bluefin tuna. I particularly enjoy yogurt with some granola and berries, but you can always go with some tasty naan.

Draw four lines on the bottom of the container, making 8 equal divisions.

I like how you cut and popped in the bottom of the container--practical for drainage and stylish looking as well. I think that quart yogurt containers are great to use as a hand-held bucket when painting with a brush.

Thanks! :-) That would be really handy for painting, you could even keep the lid nearby to keep the paint from drying when you break for lunch.

Pretty cool. Did this myself and it works great.
