New gadget for the galley
I recently purchased a spoon rest, which surprises me to say out loud. But, this spoon rest is pretty cool. It’s made from heat-resistant silicone-like material and it has a built in suction cup on the bottom.
You can actually stick it on the lid of the pan you’re cooking in. I like this because it saves counter space. The other nice feature is that it doesn’t move when the boat heels or rocks.
Finally, because everything on a boat should have more than one function, you can use it to help open jars.

Re: New gadget for the galley
Wouldn't a generic square of silicon potholder do as well?
There is a size of the generic plastic food containers I use for leftovers that wedges into a corner I use for that.
I do like the suction cup idea for rough seas, but can't see too much involved cooking getting done then anyway.

Re: New gadget for the galley
The suction cup is great for unexpected wake in the anchorage. Or, when we’re heeled over for multiple days and really want a hot meal.

Re: New gadget for the galley
Having had a monumental spoon flight situation to cleanup one time, I just stick them in the bottom of the sink. At anchor, I use a small wasabi dish....it has to have a 2nd use. ;-).

Re: New gadget for the galley
I always thought people went cruising to at least try to lessen their consumerism.

Re: New gadget for the galley
Three of them on a counter would keep something in place anywhere, one of them could keep a container of any size wedged into a corner against a fiddle. Easy to clean, too. I don't know about holding a spoon on a pot lid, overhanging handle might get pretty hot, at least on my stove.

Haven't been to a boat show lately, I'm guessing?

I was just being facetious.

Re: New gadget for the galley
A spoon rest? Are you one of those poor folks boating, who can't afford a proper full time sea cook to keep stirring the pot and HOLDING the spoon?
Have you tried GoFundMe to take care of that problem?

Re: New gadget for the galley
Maybe I should try GoFundMe. The lottery tickets haven’t been working.

I like the concept of that product. I'm just curious on the dependability of the suction.

It’s been completely dependable for me. In fact, I use it most often just as a handle for the pot lid. My pot lid handles get hot and the SpoonBuddy stays cool.
