Abstract
A utensil holder, supported by a vessel or container, permits a hand held utensil to be held until needed. The utensil for stirring or servicing or other operations is held conveniently above the vessel in a position which permits any residual contents from the vessel on the utensil to fall back into the vessel. A device to securely attach the utensil holder on the container is provided by an inner finger and outer spring arm with an upper stabilizer joined to the bottom end of the spring arm.
