I think the hole in the pot handle works great as a place to set the spoon. My friend thinks this should be illegal.
This should be illegal. The spoon will drip the juice on the oven. Plus its a hazard if someone happen to swing near the spoon, it’s game over.
Not just on the oven, the juice will run up the handle and get everything dirty. Might as well be stirring with your hand at that point.
Are… are you not supposed to do that?
Not if it’s hot you could burn your hand
Yea why not just put it on a plate to the side?
This is the way.
If someone else is in the kitchen while I’m cooking, its already game over, for them.
Why would anything be swinging over a hot stove?
Long hair, loose clothes, a rogue dick. You never know.
We’ve all been there.
People don’t realize
To me, a big spoon trapped like it can act as a lever, is not a good idea in a kitchen, in general. I Myself pull a small plate to put my kitchen tools on it.
This is some hobbit-level shit.
That is the best compliment I’ve gotten in a while.
You said you’re the only person in the kitchen when you’re cooking, so do as you will.
The day you have kids in your home, please put a saucer or something next to the stove to rest your spoon on, and turn your pot handles towards the back corner, so you can reach them but a small person can’t. I’ve seen the damage boiling oil did to a small child’s face and scalp. Even a year later it was still horrific and painful.
Yeah, spot on. This is just stupid and dangerous. And apparently for folks who don’t understand gravity.
As you said, hot oil… dripping down a spoon handle… directly towards another flame…
I’ve been doing this for years, it’s super convenient.
The comments in this thread are fucking hilarious.
Yes, this thread contains a lot of great banter and I’m here for it!
Gravy trebuchet!
Ah, the superior siege utensil.
We need a mildly infuriating sub asap!
This will drip on both handles (spoon and pot), I just put it on top of the pot handle facing down when there’s no nearby plate.
I remember seeing this in one of those “lifehack” videos a while ago
Yet another example of a “lifehack” that makes someone feel smart, but is actually pretty stupidly “solving” a problem that doesn’t exist.
The solution may be stupid but it is an actual problem. Do I really want to make an extra dish to clean just to have a place to put the spoon? That’s annoying.
Yeah, i also saw this in some lifehack video
That really bothers me for some reason. You know, they make wooden spoons with notches in them so you can set them on the lip of the pot. That a lot less of a spill hzzard than what you’ve got going on.
Apparently if you rest a wooden spoon directly on the pot it will prevent it from boiling over.
Note: house is only not covered in objects because the cleaners are literally still here.
I wish my cleaners did that good of a job… wait… that’s me. I guess I need to fire myself.

I’m calling the Kitchen Police!
Call OSHA too cause they might want to expand into household hazard rules 😆

I feel like this would tip over a lot of pots and pans.
I think the picture is unclear somehow, the spoon is over the pot so it isn’t shifting the center of mass outward.
Huh, I guess that makes sense. Mentally I just saw weight being added to the end of the handle.
