Rotating Utensil Organizer with Accessory Attachment

Abstract

Disclosed is a utensil organizer with an accessory attachment. The utensil organizer includes a post having an upper section and a lower section. The upper end of the upper section is connected to an upper plate with defined perimeter edges having a first set of pegs extending outward therefrom. The lower end of the upper section includes a second set of pegs extending outward therefrom. The pegs are configured to hang kitchen utensils thereon. The lower section is attached to a plate connected to a bearing for allowing the post to rotate about a vertical axis. The bearing is further secured to a stationary base member. The upper section and the lower section further include holes for securing the accessory attachment thereon. The accessory attachment includes one or more gaps that can hold various kitchen utensils therein, wherein the kitchen utensils do not include holes for hanging.
