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.

Yea why not just put it on a plate to the side?

[โ€“] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

Why would anything be swinging over a hot stove?

Long hair, loose clothes, a rogue dick. You never know.

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.

[โ€“] fireduck@lem.trashbrain.org 22 points 1 year ago

That is the best compliment I've gotten in a while.

I've been doing this for years, it's super convenient.

The comments in this thread are fucking hilarious.

We need a mildly infuriating sub asap!

Gravy trebuchet!

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.

[โ€“] Karlos_Cantana@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apparently if you rest a wooden spoon directly on the pot it will prevent it from boiling over.

I'm calling the Kitchen Police!

[โ€“] thequickben 3 points 1 year ago

Call OSHA too cause they might want to expand into household hazard rules ๐Ÿ˜†

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.

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like this would tip over a lot of pots and pans.

[โ€“] fireduck@lem.trashbrain.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the picture is unclear somehow, the spoon is over the pot so it isn't shifting the center of mass outward.

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Huh, I guess that makes sense. Mentally I just saw weight being added to the end of the handle.
