How Specific
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cooking' (the process of preparing food) with 'utensil' (a household tool), yielding a tool used for cooking or serving food. This straightforward noun+noun composition follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Cooking utensil puts together cooking and utensil: picture a wooden spoon or ladle standing by the stove ready to be used. So it means a small 'tool' you keep in the 'kitchen' to prepare, cook, or serve food.
