​​What is a Lazy Susan?

With a history that traces back as far as the 18th century, the Lazy Susan has stood the test of time, essentially unchanged. Also called a turntable, the Lazy Susan is a round or tray-shaped platform, that rotates on a set of bearings, and sits on a table or countertop to easily distribute food.

Thomas Jefferson invented the Lazy Susan in the 18th century, though they were referred to as dumbwaiters at that time. Lazy Susans are typically made of wood or plastic but glass, marble, stainless steel, and wire may also be used. Types of Lazy Susans include D-Shaped, Round, and Kidney-Shaped.

Often used in upper and lower cabinets, the Lazy Susan also creates accessibility for storage in the kitchen. With a simple spin, everything on the tray or shelf is within reach.
