Why Spoon Rests Are Essential in Every Kitchen

A spoon rest is a dedicated surface to hold kitchen utensils, such as spoons and spatulas, during and between cooking tasks. Crafted from materials like ceramic and porcelain, these rests are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. They come in various styles and colours to complement any kitchen decor. Here are some reasons why you should consider investing in a spoon rest or two for your benchtop:

  • Maintaining Clean Countertops: Spoon rests play a crucial role in keeping your kitchen surfaces clean and hygienic. Instead of placing dirty spoons on the counter or stove, a dedicated spoon rest provides a designated spot to keep utensils, preventing mess and facilitating easy cleanup.
  • Preventing Cross-Contamination: Using a spoon rest helps prevent cross-contamination during cooking. By keeping utensils elevated and separate from other ingredients, you can ensure that flavours don't mix unintentionally, especially when dealing with multiple dishes simultaneously.
  • Preserving Kitchen Utensils: Placing utensils on a spoon rest instead of directly on hot surfaces prolongs the life of your kitchen tools. The elevated design protects the handles from heat damage, ensuring that your favourite cooking utensils remain in top condition.

Spoon Rests: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best material to use for a spoon rest?

The best material for a spoon rest is porcelain or ceramic. These materials are not only durable and heat-resistant but also easy to clean, making them ideal for withstanding the demands of a busy kitchen. The smooth and glazed surfaces of porcelain and ceramic spoon rests add a touch of style while effectively preventing stains and maintaining hygiene in your cooking space.


How many spoon rests do you need?

The number of spoon rests depends on your cooking habits and the size of your kitchen. Having two or more allows you to keep multiple utensils within reach, especially during complex cooking sessions.


What can I use instead of a spoon rest?

If a dedicated spoon rest isn't available, a trivet, small plate or a heat-resistant coaster can be used as a makeshift solution. However, for optimal functionality and style, investing in a proper spoon rest is recommended.
