Abstract
A portable utensil holder for providing a utensil setting for a single diner, to serve as a convenient place to place a set of dining utensils for the diner that minimizes contact between the utensils and potentially unsanitary surfaces, for a healthier and more convenient dining experience. The utensil holder includes a set of recesses formed thereon, each shaped to accommodate a utensil of a corresponding type. The recesses are oriented parallel to each other and separated by intervening side walls, giving each utensil its own dedicated spot within the utensil holder. The recesses are connected by a groove oriented orthogonally to the recesses, allowing for utensils to be placed and retrieved while minimizing contact of the utensil head with potentially unsanitary surfaces.
