    This dog-shaped spoon holder is adorable! It adds such a cute and playful touch to my kitchen, and it’s surprisingly practical too. It keeps my countertops clean and holds my spoons in place perfectly while I’m cooking. The quality feels sturdy and easy to clean. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it already — highly recommend if you want something functional and fun!

    This little guy cracks me up every time I cook! The OTOTO spoon holder is both hilarious and handy — it keeps my spoon off the counter and adds instant personality to my kitchen. It grips utensils surprisingly well, and guests always comment on it. Who knew a spoon rest could spark so much joy?

    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2025

    Pattern Name: Purple AgathaVerified Purchase

    So far so good. Seems to be made of good material that grips pots and utensils well, and is easy to clean. Can hold big utensils, but isn't really made to hold smaller utensils. Easy enough to position and keep my utensils off the counters; sometimes less intuitive to use for steam venting and I would rather just skew my pot lid. Adorable design.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2025

    Pattern Name: Buddy SandstoneVerified Purchase

    It’s cute and all but it wouldn’t fit a wooden spatula – so it’s can’t be use universally, you have to make sure your spoons fits. It holds the cover well and it’s cute – but the gap is too big for my liking.

    This spoon rest is awesome. It's very well made and can take a beating of sauces, gravies, whatever you're concocting, That little white ship sails in on the waves of culinary adventure and never stains. Of course it likes to shower in the dishwasher. It is so fun to look at and it can hold quite a few saucy wooden spoons and other stirrers.
