I think the hole in the pot handle works great as a place to set the spoon. My friend thinks this should be illegal.
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…
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.
Yea why not just put it on a plate to the side?
This is the way.
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 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.
None of my spoons or spatulas fit in the hole.
look at mr big spoon here
I’m more mr small pan to be honest.
This is some hobbit-level shit.
That is the best compliment I’ve gotten in a while.
I’m calling the Kitchen Police!
Call OSHA too cause they might want to expand into household hazard rules 😆

Not sure if it’s brilliant for its convenience, or just should be illegal since it just provides a “flying” object with would be so easy to stumble on.
People seem to expect a lot of wild action over an active stovetop. That hasn’t so much been my experience…I mean after college.
I’ve been doing this for years, it’s super convenient.
The comments in this thread are fucking hilarious.

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.
Gravy trebuchet!
Ah, the superior siege utensil.
We need a mildly infuriating sub asap!
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.
