Slotted Wooden Spoons Hang Around On Your Pots

These slotted spoons live life on the edge

Here?s a Dremel project in the making: Muuto?s Hang Around kitchen utensils are a wooden spoon and spatula with a slot in the back side, which lets you kind of clip them to the side of any pot or pan you may be using.

Designed for Muuto by Kibisi, these tools are clearly more about form than function. Whilst the spoon, for example, will clearly let you spoon things up, its fat-backed shape makes it useless for stirring and beating. The spatula looks better, but not really any better than a dollar version from the dime store.

Of course, they need to be thick to accommodate the slot in the back, so I propose an improvement: Go grab you Dremel and find or buy a spoon and spatula. With the spoon, a slot cut just one third of the way through should do the trick without weakening it too much. With the spatula, which already has a wide handle, just go in from the side.

Or, as I do already, just put the blade or bowl on the pot?s edge and lay the handle onto the pan handle. Not slots, stable, and free.

Hang Around is available in design and cookware stores around the world. If you really hate yourself, and love Flash sites that resize themselves to take up your entire monitor, then you could visit the Muuto site to find out the exact stores that carry them.
