kitchen utensils

Spatulas and whisks

Kitchen utensils are handheld tools used for preparing and serving food—knives, spatulas, whisks, ladles, tongs, and the like.

The term covers everyday implements rather than powered appliances or major cookware: She organized the kitchen utensils in a drawer by the stove.

Utensil alone often implies this meaning in kitchen contexts.
