To easily store kitchen/cooking tongs in your drawer, place them inside an empty cardboard paper towel roll. This keeps them from getting stuck in the drawer when opening.
This is a nice tip, Thanks. Just an additional Info: I used empty eggs' containers spread-out open as a holder for my spoons, forks, butter knifes etc. in my kitchen drawer. It's also neat for my pens, pencils in my study table drawer.
