12. A metal stand when you’re ready to improve your stovetop game. You’ll have a spot for both your wooden spoon and the lid that always seems to drip liquid all over the place.

Promising review: “I personally always hate it when you pull off the lid of something and the lid is leaking water everywhere while being super hot. With my new solid-surface counters, I definitely don’t want to set the lid on there and ruin them. Putting it on the stovetop is either annoying due to the water mess or impossible if you are using the whole stove.

This was made for the fussy new-home person like me. I can now set the lid down and not worry about where all that hot water is going.” —Susan
