Every item should have an agreed-upon place where it goes. Then if it is not out/can't find it, it's in its place. So if you both agree on that, then putting things away is NBD, and no one is hiding anything.

The phrase in my household, “put it where you expect it to be”

This works great except when you don’t agree on where you expect it to be.

We have an ongoing battle about where whisks live: with the blender and beaters, or with the cooking spoons and ladle.

Our rule is “whoever empties the dishwasher gets to put things where they think they belong”.

Do whisks look like beaters but work like ladles?

Well, they are used for baking and they are used for cooking.

I have not tried using one as a ladle but I have low expectations.

This presents a chicken-and-egg problem. I expect all my shit to be randomly strewn about because that's where I've always put it.
