18. Modern Ribbed Spoon Rest
What This Idea Means
A stylish stove-side companion featuring an ergonomic handle rest and raised ribbed ridges to keep cooking tools elevated and clean.
How to Make It
- Form an elongated, shallow spoon tray shape using pinch or slab methods.
- Add a gently sloping handle rest section at one end.
- Press thin horizontal clay ridges into the main bowl area to hold utensils above oil drips.
- Smooth edges with damp tools.
Tips and Variations
- Tip: Use a smooth, non-porous glossy glaze so sauce splatters wipe off effortlessly.
- Variation: Create a double spoon rest wide enough for multiple cooking utensils.
