Wahei Freiz 6-Piece Breading and Mise Set
Exclusive to Milk Street in the U.S., this six-piece Breading and Mise Set from Wahei Freiz is the end-all tool for breading and frying. The durable set comes with four stainless steel rectangular containers, one stainless steel rack and a single snap-on lid. Most cooks grab a handful of bowls to dredge and coat food before frying, but that can make a mess and lead to uneven breading. Instead, this set is a perfect solution for breading and frying chicken cutlets or slabs of eggplant: Use one tray for flour, a second for liquid binder or beaten egg and a third for your breading mixture. Then, once your food is fried, use the fourth tray fitted with rack to allow any excess oil to drip off. The compact, stackable pans are excellent for all kinds of small tasks, like collecting prepped vegetables, herbs, cheese and nuts as you mise en place.
Our favorite feature might be the snap-on lid: Rather than clumsily dredging food in flour or bread crumbs with hands or forks, click the lid on and simply shake the tray until your food is evenly coated. And use the lid to store any leftovers or—even better—other mise en place jobs, like marinating meat or fish. Once you’re done, run the set through the dishwasher, then stack the pieces compactly together to store until your next job.
Wahei Freiz Stovetop Sandwich Press — Small
Ingeniously simple and efficient to use, the Milk Street-exclusive Wahei Freiz Stovetop Sandwich Press is the better way to make grilled sandwiches—and so much more—at home. Typical panini presses are clunky and large, requiring a plug to work, while old-school Toas-Tite sandwich makers squish crusts and trap fillings. The Wahei instead is a simple, space-saving metal clamshell with no electrical component, simply place your assembled sandwich in one tray, close the other side over it and place the sandwich press over your stove. Your sandwich will brown evenly as both metal plates heat up—if you do want to flip, this won’t make a mess—crisping on the outside and becoming melty on the inside. And we tested it for more than sandwiches: the press makes the ultimate breakfast sandwich (we even fried an egg over easy right in the press first), sears scallops, perfectly cooks chicken thighs, makes cheeseburgers and produces moist salmon with crispy skin. This model of the sandwich press works on gas, electric and induction stovetops.
Wahei Freiz Deep Frying 3-Piece Set
This Milk Street-exclusive, three-piece set from Wahei Freiz is made for the smoothest, streamlined deep frying experience. The first piece: A deep frying pot, complete with a flat, sturdy base, which allows plenty of depth for oil, sits safely on a burner and makes for more even heating than a sloped wok. The pot has a wide opening, so there’s plenty of room to move utensils freely within and fry evenly.
The second piece is a drop basket, which makes for easy loading and unloading, without risky dropping and splashing even when frying heavy chicken thighs. The stay-cool handles of the fry pot hold the basket so that it functions as a draining rack, too. And the final piece is a custom-fit splatter screen, made of black mesh that’s easy to see through. Using this well-designed set when frying makes for a more even, consistent result, reduces mess and even limits oil waste, as everything drips and drains neatly back into the pot. Bonus: While the set’s designed for frying, we also tested it for pasta and other items that require boiling and draining, and it works like a charm. All three items stack compactly for easy storage.

Xilli Mole Negro
Rich and nearly black in color, mole negro is a centuries-old Oaxacan sauce that gets its smoky, deep flavor from toasted chilies and nuts and charred vegetables. Other pre-made mole pastes and powders we’ve tried are bland, chalky and bitter, but Xilli’s Mole Negro is the polar opposite. Prepared by hand in small batches, it’s smooth and decadent with a pleasant moderate heat. Upon first taste, you’ll notice deep earthy notes, followed by hints of bittersweet Oaxacan chocolate. The addition of ingredients like tomatillos, ginger, raisins and a variety of nuts also shine through in this mole, adding complexity and depth but not overpowering one another. Though it takes days to make, this mole is the perfect kitchen shortcut, offering decadent, long-cooked flavor in little time. And, since this mole negro is launching exclusively at Milk Street, so you won’t find it anywhere else.
