I Love Polish Pottery

A polish pottery spoon rest is very useful. Whenever I make spaghetti, my sauce needs to be stirred and tasted and then stirred again. What do I do with my gross red spaghetti sauce splattered utensil? I use to put them in the sink or the dishwasher just after one use. Before long all of my silverware was going into the dirty dishes. Or when you are mixing something and your spoon is just a little too little, and it slips into the bubbling pot and you have no choice but to burn your fingers while retrieving your run away spoon. So with my burnt fingers I was washing dishes and cursing for making a sauce that needed constant babying.

Then my mom told me about the polish pottery spoon rest. What is that you may ask yourself? Only one of the best inventions for a cook-EVER. It is made of ceramic and usually painted in blue tones with a polish feel. My mom's has roosters on hers. You can place it anywhere. I put mine on my stove while my mom places her next to her giant wooden knife block. The nice thing about it is, only one spoon gets dirty. So your spaghetti sauce calls for stirring? You stir the sauce. Put it back in the spoon rest. Stir the sauce again. Put the spoon back in spoon rest. Stir the sauce again. Well...you get the picture. You are helping save the earth as well since you are only using one spoon instead of several. You are not wasting the water or the detergent or the energy required to wash many spoons. You can feel confident that you are only using one for the job. They are durable and washable and reusable.

What does everyone in America need? A polish pottery spoon rest.
