How many times have you been cooking away and rested your spoon or spatula on the side of the pot with part of it still in the pot’s contents to walk back up, grab the spoon and get burned?  Me too.  Ouch huh?  So, what is the alternative?  Laying the spoon down on the stove or counter and making a mess with whatever is on the spoon?   Maybe, but here is another alternative:

ThePot Clip Spoon Rest
, it holds your spoons onto the pot but out of the contents allowing you to keep your stovetop clean and your spoon cooler. It is even heat resistant up to 600 degrees.  I don’t think my stove goes up that high, does yours?  It is made of stainless steel and is easy to clean.  You can even throw it in your dishwasher if you so desire.  You can also purchase them in several colors and even in sets.

These can be a tools that can save you just a little extra cleaning time and from getting burned too.
