Spoon Rests! What A Totally Superflous Kitchen Item!

[icyfroth]

I often see them in the op shops and think pffft, what a useless item. As if you couldn't use a saucer or whatever you have at hand while you're cooking. Making bolognese tonight I just rested the spoon on the side of the can.

They look like little forks.

And I can tell ya what to do with 'em all right.        hahahahaha

it's Pimpy who is trying to work out forks!

Remember,  it's spooning that leads to forking

egg separator beats spoon rest anyway.

This whole thing seems very biased to me!  Why only spoons?  How about a knife rest, or even more importantly, a fork rest.  For instance, you could have a fork rest with words printed on it saying, "Hey, mate!  Give your fork a rest!"  You may laugh, but it is very difficult to come up with fork humor.

as seen in the pics back there, some forks come with their own rests built in

as for the rest

forked if I know

I just thought of one probably suited for gifts at a bacheklors party though

"rest your fork here" written on the rester which could be a shape like they make different shapes for salt and pepper shakers an stuff, or make those german beer mugs with faces on them, or like in my utencil holder back there with the tongue poking out
