Cooking in your kitchen is usually time well spent, but if you've been whipping up something tasty on a regular basis, it might be time to upgrade your cooking utensils. While you might be tempted to look for a plain wooden spoon or a ho-hum vegetable peeler, why not consider going a more playful route? There are plenty of playful kitchen tools that will add some whimsy to even the most boring cooking tasks.
Some of the most charming utensils transform otherwise ordinary items into something mythical. OTOTO has perfected this with their collection of Loch Ness monster-inspired items. Their Nessie ladle was the first of this series and remains one of their most popular designs. Combining fun and function, the tip of the handle resembles Nessie’s tiny head as it gracefully slopes to its spoon-shaped body that is complete with tiny feet. This is both an adorable design detail as well as being a clever way to ensure that the ladle stays upright.
While OTOTO makes some of our favorite kitchen tools, they aren’t the only ones creating these types of utensils. Scroll down for creativity you can use while cooking.
