Ceramic Kitchenware - Spoon Rest

A spoon rest is a great way of preventing spillages onto your counter-tops. Carefully chosen, they can also add a little decorative flair to your kitchen décor. Much like other forms of kitchenware, such as a bamboo cutting board, they're intended to look decorative when not in use, yet remain fully functional when they are.

There are plenty of bold colors to choose from, black and red are hot favorites, and signature styles are another, such as rooster designs and similar. Stainless steel spoon rests are also another big favorite.

Keep your saucy residue right where it's supposed to be - in the saucepan, or collected within one of the most practical yet stylish spoon rests your hard earned can buy.

Don't get sticky - get super saucy!

Any old spoon rest will keep your kitchen free from sticky sauce residue but - you don't want any old kitchenware ... you want something that's not only practical, it's most definitely classy looking too.

Perhaps you're a little bit of an undercover chef, with aspirations that only exist with the four walls of your kitchen.

Or maybe you just like to keep clean-ups to a minimum and recognize that the less mess you make whilst creating tasty delights, the less you've got to clean up after.

And if there's one thing that's worse than a bad cook ... it's a cook faced with gloopy stickiness littering the counter-tops.

Save yourself some time, avoid unwanted spillages and keep your kitchen free from tacky puddles by treating yourself to an inexpensive piece of kitchenware.

If you prefer something a little more on the kitsch side, there's a few that look a little loud and hideous but you know - loud is proud and all that.
