What customers say
This Michael Aram Pomegranate Spoon Rest earns exceptional praise primarily for its exquisite design and superior craftsmanship. Customers consistently view this piece as functional sculpture, highlighting the stunning artistic detailing and substantial feel of the metal construction. Its aesthetic appeal makes it a highly favored gift item. While the perceived quality is near perfect, the high price point introduces some friction regarding overall value. A few users noted minor functional limitations with larger utensils. However, the powerful decorative impact and the item's perceived heirloom quality overwhelmingly justify the investment for those prioritizing luxury design over strict practicality.
Know before you buy
This piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish, hand wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
The spoon rest measures 7 inches by 4 inches, which is ideal for standard-sized ladles, spatulas, and wooden spoons. It is designed to hold one utensil at a time.
The spoon rest does not feature a non-slip or protective base. If you are concerned about scratching delicate surfaces, we recommend placing it on a soft kitchen towel or a protective trivet.
While the stainless steel construction is durable, the piece is not oven safe. It is intended for use as a countertop utensil rest rather than a heat-resistant trivet for hot cookware.
The spoon rest features a flat, sculptural design rather than a deep basin. While it effectively keeps your counter clean from most utensil residue, it does not have a specific drip-catching rim.
