lazy Susans

Spinning serving platforms

Lazy Susans is the plural of lazy Susan, a rotating tray or turntable placed on a table or in a cabinet to make items easier to reach.

The name's origin is unclear—there's no known Susan involved.

Pass the salt? Just spin the lazy Susan.

Common in Chinese restaurants for sharing dishes and in kitchen cabinets for organizing spices.
