Milk Street Non-Slip Cutting Board Mat (Flex Mat)
There’s nothing more unsettling than your cutting board sliding around while you chop or watching your stand mixer wobble across the countertop while kneading elastic bread dough. That’s why we developed this dishwasher-safe, heatproof and nonslip cutting mat to keep things stable, safe and secure. It’s large enough to accommodate a full-sized cutting board, but can also be cut to size for more specialized shapes. Unlike flimsy, thin foam mats, wet paper towels or dishtowels, this cutting mat actually locks tools into place, thanks to its grippy, heatproof and dishwasher-safe silicone construction. It’ll keep things where you need them.
Maron Bouillie Kitchen Storage Box - Apples
Designed and handcrafted in Paris, Maron Bouillie’s Storage Box is an environmentally conscious choice for kitchen storage. Made from recycled and organic materials, this fabric box is perfect for holding produce or extra kitchen supplies, like utensils, paper products and unopened pantry goods. Plus its design of bright apples on every side pops on the counter or on the shelf. An added bonus? This collapsable box is machine washable, so it can be thrown in the wash.
Atelier Miyabi Tenugui — Set of 2
Nearly ubiquitous in Japanese households, tenugui are decorated, all-purpose cloths analogous to the western bandana. They can be used for everything from washcloths, dishtowels and oven mitts to food storage–perfect as an all-in-one sandwich wrapper and napkin. You can even use tenugui as wrapping paper, a head wrap or handkerchief. Consider them a sustainable alternative to reaching for paper towels to clean up a spill or wrapping up leftovers instead of plastic wrap. And these ones from Atelier Miyabi are 100% cotton, so they dry quick and soften with every wash. Set of two available in blue or red.
Marrakesh Walnut Harira Spoon
Named after the traditional Moroccan stew filled with tomato, lentils and chickpeas, harira spoons were designed for both serving and eating the authentic dish. We found these specific one-of-a-kind utensils in Morocco, which are hand-carved from walnut wood. The dark wood stains less and ages better over time, so they’ll hold up in your kitchen and continue to look beautiful. Use for serving, eating or to dole out spices, coffee or dry ingredients. Available in a small or large size.
Marrakesh Silver Coasters
This beautiful set of coasters comes with four individual designs, all made by artisans in Marrakesh using a mix of traditional and modern techniques. Hand-hammered with traditional patterns from Berber, Andalusian and Jewish cultures, each coaster protect your table with style and elegance. Use for both hot and cold drinks as well as serving small bite plates. Every set comes packed in an organza drawstring bag, ideal for gifting or for easy storage.
Serrv Sari Wine Bags - Set of 3
Made from upcycled cotton sari fabric, these reusable patterned wine bags are perfect for sustainable gift-giving. Each bag features a drawstring to cinch around the neck of a standard-sized bottle of wine. These colorful, one-of-a-kind pieces come directly from artisans in India who curate and produce them in small batches. Sold as a set of three wine bags; due to the unique nature of Serrv’s handicrafts, colors and patterns may vary from what is pictured.
Milk Street Saya Knife Guard - Kitchin-Tan
Japanese kitchen knives are traditionally stored in wooden scabbards called sayas, which protect the blade—and your fingertips—from damage in a crowded drawer. We partnered with our knifemaker for a custom ash wood saya to be the perfect companion for our Kitchin-tan™ knife or Milk Street Kitchin-tan™ Serrated Japanese-Style Utility Knife. The sturdy, durable and beautifully grained wood guard perfectly fits the blade (simply sliding on) and attaches securely via a simple wooden pin. The wood also helps wick away any moisture clinging to the blade, which prevents oxidation or rust.
Professional Secrets Chef Fork
This durable, stainless steel fork from Professional Secrets stands out among the rest because its food and pasta-friendly prongs grip food properly without slippage or damage. This sturdy fork consists of a single, solid, continuous piece, making it less likely to break, unlike lesser quality varieties. We love the great design offered here along with the solid weight and the feel of it in our hands.
Hario V60 Coffee Dripper
Hario’s V60 Coffee Dripper is one of our favorite ways to brew a great cup of coffee. We love the pour-over method, which allows you to control the nuance and flavor notes of your coffee, but most designs are made of fragile ceramic or glass. Hario’s alternative is made of light stainless steel. It’s durable—great to travel with (especially with its removable silicone rubber base)—and it conducts and retains heat well for a hot, flavorful cup every time. The overall design has been around since the ’80s, but now with ribs to keep filter paper from getting stuck on the sides and a larger hole for a faster flow and more clarity in the cup. The conical shape also allows for a deep layering of coffee grounds—pour quickly for a lighter, delicate cup or slowly for a heavier, fuller flavor. Plus, the V60 is large enough to make up to four cups of coffee. You’ll never need your bulky Mr. Coffee again. Available in Matte Black or Silver.
J. Catma Hand-Stitched Linen Cocktail Napkins - Set of 4
Custom made for Milk Street, these white Hand-Stitched Linen Cocktail Napkins are made in India by young women who finished a four-year apprenticeship in a historic orphanage. Embroidered with floral motifs and edged with hemstitching—a traditional needlework technique that creates an openwork border. Use them as cocktail napkins or coasters, and when you’re done, simply wash them on a gentle cycle.
Christopher Kimball for Kuhn Rikon Ratchet Grinder
Most pepper mills (this model also grinds spices) take forever to grind just one tablespoon. This new design—which we developed with Kuhn Rikon—is easy to use and produces all the spice you can use quickly and easily. Its innovative back-and-forth ratchet action is easier than a twist-style mill, especially for those with hand issues. The precision ceramic grinder is effective and durable, and the front-loading hopper is far easier than top-loading grinders, where half the spices inevitably spill during filling. Perhaps our favorite feature is the removable bottom container, which makes it easy to measure and transport spices to a stovetop pot or mixing bowl.

Fat Gold Blue California Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Winner of a 2024 Good Food Award, mild and buttery, this batch of California-grown olive oil is a true team player. Made from extra-delicate, early harvest arbequina and picual olives, it’s perfect for cooking and baking projects that require olive oil flavor in a supporting role. Grown and harvested in some of the best groves in northern California, the olives in this 2022 batch of oil offer tasting notes of fresh cream, dried flowers, walnut and ripe apple, for a fragrant, fruity, mellow blend with no pronounced pepperiness or spice. The bright green oil is made for everyday use as a cooking oil and a finisher; try it for sautéing produce, frying eggs, tossing with a salad or drizzling on pasta and finished dishes.
Cuisipro Box Grater
This box grater features four cutting sides—coarse grate, medium grate, fine grate and slice—all made from etched metal, which increases each blade’s sharpness and durability, and they won’t buckle under pressure. And unlike other brands, which often have a thick frame of metal or plastic between each cutting surface, Cuisipro extends each of their grater's cutting surfaces to the edge: more area means easier slicing, quicker grating and less work, so you can tackle soft foods like certain cheeses and sturdy veggies like carrots with ease. Plus, there aren’t any extra nooks and crannies for bits of food to get stuck in, making for easier cleanup. Its ergonomic top handle is coated in comfortable, nonslip rubber, and the grater has a rubberized detachable base that holds it steady, measures volume and collects the gratings. You can simply grate, measure, remove and dump directly into your pan without extra fuss.
Huilerie Beaujolaise Calamansi Vinegar
We absolutely love this small-batch vinegar from French artisanal producer Huilerie Beaujolaise. With a bright and tangy vibrancy akin to tangerine, this vinegar almost tastes like a shrub, or drinking vinegar. Ubiquitous to Filipino cuisine, calamansi is a citrus hybrid between kumquat and mandarin orange.
Milk Street: Santoku
A safer and more effective all-purpose kitchen knife than the triangular European-style chef’s knife, the Japanese santoku is the ultimate kitchen tool for the home cook. Our exclusive Milk Street-designed santoku (which translates as “3 virtues”) features a 7-inch blade that is tall at the heel and retains a nearly continuous height to the tip thanks to the rounded sheepsfoot tip. That means there’s plenty of blade steel to protect your fingers when chopping, and it also works well for scooping up chopped vegetables to transfer to the skillet or mixing bowl.
The blade features a pronounced curve to the belly for easy rock chopping and mincing, while the pointed tip makes it all-purpose enough for prepping meats or mincing onions, garlic and shallots.
The comfortable “lock in” ergonomic handle, fashioned from durable matte-finished polymer, is broad at the top and narrows to the bottom for a palm-filling grip. It doesn’t twist or turn during heavy-duty use. The handle tapers towards the blade for a comfortable transition between handle and blade—a benefit that few knives take into account.
The heel of the bolsterless blade is scalloped, which makes the knife comfortable to choke up on for a controlled, confident pinch grip. And a patch of file pattern embossed into the blade adds even more grip between the thumb and pointer finger.
Aux Co. Ltd. Gassiri Tongs
Though upon first glance Aux Co. Ltd’s Gassiri Tongs seem just like any other pair, our kitchen team was blown away after testing them. The rounded shape makes it easy to pick up spherical items like meatballs, eggs or potatoes that may run away using a normal pair of tongs. But the sides of these tongs are what really set them apart—one is designed with slits and the other with a scoop that can hold about a tablespoon of liquid. Use the slotted side to strain out unwanted liquid, like when rendering bacon, or use the scoop side to add pasta water to your sauce. Sturdy stainless steel construction—complete with a sufficient handle length—also makes these tongs strong and safe so you can pick up heavy, hot ingredients without any problems. However, they can still be used delicately—they work just as well picking up a strand of spaghetti or a soft boiled egg.
