I need to read more because I'm way outside of the box on all of the kitchen stuff.
Utensil storage is a small military tool bag

It dries if I throw wet utensils in it and it's big enough for my tiny backpack stove, lighter, salt ect. It's a keeper.
I keep enough silver for two and a plastic box with plastic disposable utensils. I use metal when I can clean and plastic if I feel like tossing in trash. Most of the time I just wash the plastic disposables but the option is handy. Same process with plastic bowls and plates.
Cooking utensils are only a folding pancake flipper, a folding pocket knife and a fixed blade survival knife.
A pot, a flat griddle and three stainless mugs is all I carry. I use two stoves, a tiny backpack for heating water and a partner steel for the rest. I like the tiny stove best. I'm happy with my minimal load and military tool bag. It keeps things neat and fast but I don't eat as well as you either.
