What are lazy susans used for?

Lazy susans are a type of turntable used to make it easier to access the items that are stored on them.


They're commonly used on kitchen tables for food or entertainment, making the items on them easily accessible for everyone.


Lazy susans can be made from many different materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. They come in a variety of sizes, and some can even hold up to 200 pounds!


Most people use them in kitchens to store spices or pots and pans, but they can also be used in other areas of the home, such as the bathroom or bedroom.





Why are they called lazy susans?


There are a few theories out there, but the most likely explanation is that they were named after Englishwoman Susan Hayward, who was known for her laziness.


The first lazy susans were actually called "turn tables" or "dumb waiters." It wasn't until the early 1900s that they started being referred to as lazy susans.


So there you have it! The next time you use a lazy susan, you can thank Susan Hayward for her contribution to kitchen culture. Thanks, Susan!





How do lazy susans work?


A lazy Susan is a rotating tray that can be used to store or display food, or to aid in the preparation of food. It has a rotating top that allows objects placed on it to rotate easily & freely.


Many people use them as a way to make cooking more efficient because they can reach all the items on the tray without having to move anything around.


They can also be used on countertops to hold fruits and vegetables or to display pictures and other decorations. Some people even use them in their bathrooms to hold toiletries!


No matter how you use them, lazy susans are a great way to keep your things organized and within reach.
