For some, cooking is a burden, while for others it is an enjoyable pastime. But whether you enjoy it or not, cooking can be really messy and sticky most of the time. This is especially true when you don’t know where to put your spoon while cooking. Cleaning up spills on your countertops makes the task a bit more troublesome. No one wants the added chores of wiping sauce off a white counter while preparing a big meal. Not to mention trying to remove the red sauces that will cause stains. Also, placing the spoon in different places makes it more prone to contact with contaminants like germs from raw meat. That will completely ruin your tasty meal and possibly make you sick.
An easy way to reduce spills and post-cook cleanup is to have a spoon rest ready on the counter. This utensil is a functional cookware but at the same time it can be a decorative accent in the kitchen. After stirring a thick sauce from your specialty dish, it’s best to collect the spoon residue on a spoon rest. For example, if your kitchen is red, you won’t have a problem finding a red rest. This is one of the most practical essentials in your kitchen.
Spoon rests come in a variety of materials and you can choose from many colors and themes. Many cooking experts and housewives prefer a ceramic spoon rest because ceramic is considered the most fashionable kitchen utensil. If your kitchen has a country theme, or you want to add a bit of country flair in your kitchen, spoon rests made of ceramic are the ones to get. People who like vintage cookware also prefer ceramic. If you want your spoon rest to have a rustic appeal, you can choose from standard ceramic.
There has been an increase in the demand for this item in recent years and with the increasing demand, more and more designs are available on the market. Ceramic spoon rests can also come in different sizes. There is the classic style but there are also the big ones, which can handle both spoons and ladles. This utensil definitely looks good and never goes out of style. If well cared for, it can be a piece of vintage kitchenware that you will surely be proud to pass down to your children. No one will disagree that pottery looks good big or small. However, you know for a fact that ceramic is brittle. Therefore, you have to be careful and make sure that the spoon rest is firmly planted on the countertop.
