If you like to cook, you will need tools to prep the ingredients. Unfortunately many kitchen tools today are made with plastic. The good thing is that we tend to reuse these tools for quite a long time, which keeps them out of the garbage stream. Below you will find some of my favorites!
I like these for cutting meat. They have a juice groove that helps keep them from dripping on the counter. Comes in a set of 3 - all different sizes.
From the Amazon description:Black Walnut a very good wood for cutting boards, with a very fine grain and a naturally dark and beautiful texture (not stained dark - it comes that way!). It has a nice deep groove that helps keep juice on the board instead of dripping on the counter.
From the Amazon description:I have a set of these. The best thing about them is that I can put them in the dishwasher without damaging the handles. I have a set of wooden handle knives, and they get really dried out if I put them in the dishwasher.
From the Amazon description:Technically, these aren't for food prep - but I wanted to include them here. The best thing about them is that I can put them in the dishwasher without damaging the handles. I have a set of wooden handle steak knives, and they get really dried out if I put them in the dishwasher.
From the Amazon description:I have a set of these, and they are great! Sturdy, dishwasher safe, and all stainless steel.
From the Amazon description:Pyrex is the bomb! I've had a set of these, and used them for years! Sturdy, dishwasher safe, and all glass.
From the Amazon description:These are really large! A little over one gallon, they really hold a lot of... "stuff". And they look great, with an "old-time" pioneer feel. They use the old-school lever-latch system, and have a glass top with a silicon gasket to seal them. Jars and lids can go in the dishwasher for easy cleaning! Great for storing dry pasta, cereal, or making pickles. A tried and true method that's been around since the covered wagon era.
From the Amazon description:Great for cutting veggies and meat, putting hot dishes on, and as a serving tray.
