What the AI looks for in Spoon Rests
- Capacity
- Prefer room for two or more utensils if you cook more than one dish at a time. Single-spoon rests overflow fast.
- Heat resistance
- It must tolerate sitting next to a burner, so choose silicone, stainless or ceramic over thin plastic. Plastic warps near the flame.
- Raised lip
- Look for a raised lip that contains drips. Flat rests let sauce run onto the stove.
- Dishwasher-safe
- Yes. It gets sauce on it every time you cook.
Brands that matter
- OXO: Practical utensil rests.
- Le Creuset: Stoneware rests.
What to avoid
