A spoon rest (also known as a dublé) is a piece of kitchenware that serves as a place to lay spoons and other cooking utensils, to prevent cooking fluids from getting onto countertops,^[1][2][3] as well as keeping the spoon from touching any contaminants that might be on the counter. It is easier to keep the rest clean than the countertop.^[4]
