Material Only Tongs
Ease of use is the key to these cleverly designed Only Tongs from Material. The hidden magnetic “gravity lock” allows them to open and close seamlessly: Simply turn them upside down and squeeze the sides together to engage the magnet when you want to close them, or flip them over and squeeze a second time to open them. Unlike other tongs that get stuck and break easily—making them bulky and hard to store—the Only Tongs stay the way you want them to, open or closed, without extra pieces to press that may break or wear out. Made completely of heat-safe lightweight stainless steel, the textured edges grip food with precision, making them ideal for anything from grilling steaks and searing scallops to dishing up pasta or tossing salads. And when you’re done, simply put them in the dishwasher.

Milk Street Garlic Pro
Garlic Pros are estimated to ship this Fall
There are few foods more annoying to prepare than garlic. It’s a pain to peel, tricky to slice and grating can be as risky to your fingers as the garlic clove. And garlic presses are an utter nuisance to clean, much less extract all the flavor that give garlic its reputation as an aromatic powerhouse. Introducing the Milk Street Garlic Pro, a one-stop solution for easy garlic prep. The intuitive design functions like a mini mandoline but is much safer, thanks to the hopper that keeps your fingers safe and sound. Simply choose the cutting attachment for sliced, pressed or grated garlic; load the garlic cloves into the large, grippy hopper then press down and slide back and forth to effortlessly process the garlic. The odor-proof polycarbonate base holds over a whole head of prepared garlic, which can be transferred to the mixing bowl or skillet without ever having to touch it. The sturdy steel, silicone and polycarbonate construction is precisely built for long-term durability. The three snap-in blade attachments lock securely into the bottom of the lid, so you’ll never lose them in the bottom of your utility drawer.
