Spoon rests are helpful additions to your kitchen utensil arsenal. When you’re stirring soup or tossing spaghetti with a hearty red marinara, set your ladle or pasta fork on a spoon rest to avoid making a mess on kitchen surfaces. Future you will be thankful for easier cleanup.
Spoon rests also help keep utensils such as butter knives, spatulas, and whisks free from contaminants such as rogue coffee grounds and sneaky crumbs. Plus, the cute design of a hand-painted spoon rest adds charm and whimsy to all types of kitchen decor. Find spoon rests in the shapes of cats, dogs, flowers, and frogs—just to name a few—from shops on Etsy.
