This should be illegal. The spoon will drip the juice on the oven. Plus its a hazard if someone happen to swing near the spoon, it's game over.

This is some hobbit-level shit.
You said you're the only person in the kitchen when you're cooking, so do as you will.
The day you have kids in your home, please put a saucer or something next to the stove to rest your spoon on, and turn your pot handles towards the back corner, so you can reach them but a small person can't. I've seen the damage boiling oil did to a small child's face and scalp. Even a year later it was still horrific and painful.
I've been doing this for years, it's super convenient.
The comments in this thread are fucking hilarious.
We need a mildly infuriating sub asap!
Gravy trebuchet!
This will drip on both handles (spoon and pot), I just put it on top of the pot handle facing down when there's no nearby plate.
That really bothers me for some reason. You know, they make wooden spoons with notches in them so you can set them on the lip of the pot. That a lot less of a spill hzzard than what you've got going on.
None of my spoons or spatulas fit in the hole.
I remember seeing this in one of those "lifehack" videos a while ago
Yet another example of a "lifehack" that makes someone feel smart, but is actually pretty stupidly "solving" a problem that doesn't exist.
The solution may be stupid but it is an actual problem. Do I really want to make an extra dish to clean just to have a place to put the spoon? That's annoying.
Just use the dish you're going to eat from if you're really that lazy. This isn't rocket science.
This only seems like a problem if you've never encountered an actual problem.

You're assuming the spoon has something I'd want to mix with the main dish on it, that I'm going to eat the food I'm cooking immediately, etc.

Little annoyances add up and small improvements to one's approach to dealing with things can add up as well. You know what makes those "actual problems" worse? Having to deal with a bunch of minor irritations at the same time.
Kind of weird that you seem to think it's ridiculous to want to improve anything that isn't a matter of life and death and earthshaking consequence.
It's not an improvement to have sauce dripping down the handle of your spoon and onto your saucepan handle, or to make yet another hazard over the stove by wedging a spoon precariously into a handle hole. That's my point. There are a million simpler ways to address this that don't make a bigger problem. I find it stunning that you are too lazy to rinse an extra plate, but weirdly insistent on the least logical, awkward, and ridiculous way to avoid it. But hey, let your freak flag fly.

I started my comment with "The solution may be stupid but". That being the case, how could you possibly interpret it as me directly arguing for that particular solution being good?

I find it stunning you are weirdly insistent on interpreting what I said in the absolutely least charitable way possible even though there's no reason to do so and I literally started my comment acknowledging that solution may be "stupid".
Actually, it seems like people on Lemmy are even worse about this than reddit which takes some doing. At least don't interpret stuff in ways that contradict what the person literally said a single post ago. Sometimes it's a little ambiguous, but not in this case.
Oh, so you're arguing for no reason whatsoever. Alrighty, then.
I'm calling the Kitchen Police!
Apparently if you rest a wooden spoon directly on the pot it will prevent it from boiling over.
Note: house is only not covered in objects because the cleaners are literally still here.
Not sure if it's brilliant for its convenience, or just should be illegal since it just provides a "flying" object with would be so easy to stumble on.
