A sterilizing apparatus is adapted for sterilizing kitchen utensils (200), and includes a hollow housing (42) cooperating with a bottom seat (41) and a top cover (43) to define an accommodating space (430) for receiving the kitchen utensils (200), and a transparent plate (44) impermeable to ultraviolet light and disposed in front of and covering openably the accommodating space (430). Two sterilizing lamp mechanisms (5) are disposed in the accommodating space (430), and are spaced apart from each other in a left-to-right direction (B), such that the kitchen utensils (200) are disposed between the sterilizing lamp mechanisms (5). The sterilizing lamp mechanisms (5) emit ultraviolet rays onto the kitchen utensils (200).
