After spending hours preparing your favorite recipe, the last thing you want to think about is cleaning up the sticky stains on your work surface. Luckily, there’s a cute crustacean that’s here to help you avoid the mess.
There are already a ton of fun and quirky kitchen tools on the market to help you in the kitchen. From the Scrub Daddy sponge that removes grease to the Angry Mama and Chilly Mama products that tackle dirty microwaves and refrigerators, there are plenty of ways to make cleaning fun. And this little crab-shaped spoon rest is a lifesaver for your kitchen counters.
What is a crab spoon rest?
The adorable crab spoon rest is BPA-free and made of food-grade silicone. It either perches on the counter or directly on your pots and pans. But Red’s powerful tongs aren’t there to pinch you. Instead, they are perfectly positioned to hold your utensil or lift the lid of a pan to release steam.
Plus, it’s made by the brand OTOTO, known for its line of cute and quirky kitchen gadgets that make cooking and cleaning easier. We’ve already introduced Gracula, the garlic grinder, and the bat bottle opener to your kitchen, but now it’s Red the Crab’s turn to shine.
How do you use the Red the Crab spoon rest?
The great thing about this crab-shaped spoon rest is that it’s not just an aesthetic tool. Red the Crab keeps your countertop from looking like a sauce or soup disaster when you put down a kitchen utensil. That’s right, you won’t have to wonder where to put your spoon or spatula, and you won’t waste paper with a bunch of napkins or paper towels.
This little red crab sits on your pots and pans, allowing your spoon or spatula to hang in the air. It allows you to keep your spoon within reach when you need to stir your dish, but away from surfaces where you don’t want to leave a mess. Thanks to the non-slip silicone material, you won’t have to worry about Red the Crab slipping on the edge of your pan either.
This little crab is also tough enough to handle the steam from your dishes. With its adjustable design, Red the Crab holds your spoon and can lift the lids of pots and pans to help release any extra steam from your soups and stews.
