Cellarmate Dressing Bottle
Exclusive to Milk Street, this hard-to-find, Japanese-designed dressing bottle is the easiest way to make vinaigrette. Add all of the ingredients of your vinaigrette, shake to emulsify and you’re ready to go, but—even better—the bottle is perfectly sized to live in your refrigerator side door, so we love it for meal prep. Not only is the bottle conveniently sized, the lid is engineered for maximum convenience. If closed properly before shaking, the bottle can even be flipped upside down without spilling. And the lid comes with a drip-resistant spout to minimize mess. If you aren’t making vinaigrette, use the Cellarmate Dressing Bottle to store honey, vinegar, syrup, homemade simple syrup, seasonings, soy sauce, shrubs, BBQ sauce and even dry goods you want to pour, like grated cheese, salt, sugar or spices. Hand-wash between jobs.
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.
