I used to put my spatula on a plate while cooking, which always left me with another dish to wash. This little crab gives it a proper spot and keeps my counter much less messy.

I got this mostly because the crab shape was cute, but I actually use it every time I cook now. It holds my spoon or spatula nicely and takes up barely any space.

Such a simple little kitchen gadget, but it makes a difference when I’m cooking several things at once. I love having a spot for my utensils and pot lid instead of setting everything down on the counter.
