Which is an approved method for storing in-use utensils?

An approved method for storing in-use utensils is to keep them in a clean, dry container or holder that is easily accessible and located near the food preparation area. Utensils should be stored with the handles facing up to minimize contamination and should be kept separate from raw foods. Additionally, using a clean, designated utensil holder can help prevent cross-contamination and maintain hygiene. Regular cleaning of the storage container is also essential to ensure food safety.
