utensils

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'these implements' is the definition.
(utensil is a kind of implement)

'listen in america you'll need to rearrange' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'listen' is 'tensil' which is located in the answer.
'america' could be 'us' (United States) and 'us' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for utensils that I've seen before include "Kitchen implements" , "Tools for household use" , "Containers for kitchen use" , "Everyday domestic implements" , "Domestic instruments or containers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
