Know before you buy
Bjorn is designed to sit on the rim of your pot, propping the lid open slightly to allow steam to escape while you cook.
Bjorn is specifically designed to securely hold a single spoon. It may not provide a stable fit for larger spatulas or heavy ladles.
No, Bjorn is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water to maintain its finish and structural integrity.
No installation is required. Bjorn is a countertop-style accessory that sits freely on your workspace or pot rim.
Bjorn is designed to fit most standard cookware rims, but it may not be compatible with lids that have an unusually thick or uniquely shaped edge.
