A lazy Susan is a revolving tray or turntable, typically round, placed on a table or countertop to make serving food, condiments, or relishes easier. It allows multiple people to access items without passing them around or reaching across the table. Lazy Susans are commonly made of materials like wood, plastic, or glass and come in various sizes, often from 12 to 48 inches in diameter. They can also be used in cabinets as a rotating storage system to save space and increase accessibility. The name “lazy Susan” dates back at least to the early 20th century, with the term possibly originating from a historical reference to servants named Susan who were criticized as lazy.
