kitchen utensil
Whisk or ladle
A kitchen utensil is a handheld tool used in food preparation or serving—knives, spatulas, whisks, ladles, tongs, and the like.
The term typically excludes appliances (which are powered) and cookware (pots and pans), though boundaries blur: Is a cutting board a utensil?
A utensil drawer or crock holds the everyday tools within arm's reach of the stove.
