Not all muktzeh is equal. A utensil for forbidden use (hammer, lighter) differs from one for permitted use (cup, fork). Learn the rule "for its use or its place".
Per the Gemara (Shabbat קכ״ג ע״ב (123b)) and SA (OC 308:3): a utensil for forbidden use may be moved only "for its use" (e.g., a hammer to crack nuts) or "for its place" (when its space is needed). From sun to shade - forbidden.
A permitted-use utensil may be moved even from sun to shade - to protect it.
A study framework only - for a practical question, ask a rabbi.
Go through one kitchen drawer and classify each utensil.
One question - "what is it for?" - resolves most muktzeh cases.
Test yourself before marking the lesson complete.
May one move a hammer to crack a nut?
