Melamine Spoon Rest by Reston Lloyd
Melamine Spoon Rest by Reston Lloyd: A Plastic Spoon Rest Built for the Colorful Kitchen Counter
The stove is where the drips happen. A saucy spatula, a peanut-butter-slick spoon, tongs still glossy with marinade - they all need somewhere to land between stirs. This melamine spoon rest gives them a home so your counter doesn't turn into a Jackson Pollock.
Reston Lloyd makes it in five fade-resistant colors on food-safe melamine, the same plastic family used across dinnerware and camp plates. At around three dollars each, it's the kind of counter accessory you buy once and use every single dinner.
Why This Utensil Rest Earns Its Countertop Real Estate
- Food-safe melamine, BPA free: Same material family as picnic plates and camp dinnerware, so drippy sauces and warm spatula heads don't leave a mark.
- Top-rack dishwasher safe: Toss it in with the plates after dinner instead of scrubbing dried tomato paste off the countertop.
- Molded 2.2-inch well: Catches drips and pooling sauce instead of letting them run down onto the stove or counter.
- Hang-hole at the top: Slide it onto a hook when the counter is jammed. Stores flat, hangs neatly, works either way.
- Fade-resistant color: Choose from black, yellow, green, or red. Pigment stays cheerful through years of dishwasher cycles.
- Compact 4 x 8.5 inch footprint: Room for a stirring spoon or spatula head without eating half your prep zone.
- Works next to any cooktop: Sits happily beside gas, electric, induction, or the slow cooker on the side counter.
A Small Rest, a Lot Less Wiping
Set it beside the burner before you start cooking, park the sauce spoon on it between stirs, and skip the ten-second detour to the sink every time you need to taste. When the meal is plated, rinse it under the tap or slide it into the dishwasher with the dinner plates. That's the whole workflow.
