Crazy Korean Cooking E-jen Fermentation & Storage Container
This durably built 0.9-gallon Korean container is designed for fermenting kimchi, sauerkraut or pickles and is a breeze to use. The double lid locks tightly and is effective for containing odors, while the sturdy polypropylene construction scrubs up beautifully. The inner vacuum lid sits snugly on top of the fermenting products, preventing oxygen contact, which can lead to mold growth and spoilage; it also has a small covered valve that you can unseal to vent carbon dioxide buildup during fermentation.
Cheese Grotto Piatto
Inspired by the caves used for centuries by cheesemakers to store their wheels and wares, this cheese grotto is aptly designed to preserve the food’s freshness, aroma and taste using natural materials and careful climate control. It’s handmade from Baltic birch with breathable bamboo wood shelving to prevent premature molding and contains a clay brick humidifier on the bottom that, when soaked in water regularly, regulates moisture (no more crumbly cheese!). An adjustable back panel and special air channels promote extra breathability. Plus, you won’t waste any more plastic wrap on cheese that’ll only make it slimy. Also, the plexiglass windows and pull-down door let you easily access and keep an eye on your cheese. The smallest model available, this model easily disassembles when not in use, so it can lie flat in storage. Includes a 2oz bottle of mineral oil to help care for the wood. Holds up to 1 pound (2-3 pieces) of cheese.
Poterie Renault Condiment Jar
Though the region is best known for wine production, the Loire Valley of France also once contained a secret gem frozen in time: Poterie Renault. Dating back to 1847, the French pottery workshop was filled to the brim with stoneware pieces, all handcrafted from some of the richest and finest clay France has to offer. And while the factory shuttered its doors in 2016, it left behind a treasure trove of salt-glazed ceramics that have become collectible items. Included in that collection, reminiscent of charming French country kitchens, these stunning, well-insulated condiment jars, perfect for everything from butter to spices to jam.
Casa Amarosa Tortilla Warmer
When serving tortillas, naan or pita breads with our sauces, we often make the flatbreads in batches ahead of time. In countries like Mexico, an insulated sleeve like this is essential for keeping tortillas hot for the duration of a meal or party. We love the festive colorful pattern on this neat product, which is handy for keeping all manner of flatbreads warm and retaining moisture for over an hour—we far prefer it to using a makeshift dish towel. Use the tortilla warmer as an attractive serving vessel for our Italian Piadina flatbreads or Middle Eastern Pita Bread in addition to tortillas.

Ttyokzk Poire (Pear) Sugar Jar
Handmade in small batches, this porcelain and wood pear-shaped sugar pot is made in Japan by ceramic designer Tatsuya Okazaki. Designed to store sugar, spices or salt on your kitchen counter or on the table, it has a “stem” that looks like a lid handle but is actually a built-in wooden spoon. The spoon handle fits through the center of the lid for easy scooping. Available in two colors in limited quantities, each pot is slightly different due to its handmade nature.
Shupatto Foldable Tote
Cleverly designed in Japan, meet the Shupatto: the “one-pull” foldable bag. A perfect replacement for single-plastic bags, the slim-profiled Shupatto folds down neatly, so it’s easy to take on the go to carry groceries, shopping and baked goods. To open, the folded accordion pleats expand into a roomy bag; to quickly close, pull both ends of the bag until taut pleats form again, then roll back into a coil for storage. The Shupatto is made from lightweight (just 69 grams) durable material, too; when tested by the makers, the pleats still folded perfectly after 100 cycles in a washing machine. And the quick-drying material can handle wet or messy items, too. The Ougi print features a traditional Japanese folding hand fan. The Sakura print features a classic cherry blossom motif.
De La Cal Ceramics Garlic Keeper
This stunning garlic keeper is a lively addition to any kitchen counter. It’s hand shaped and hand painted and features perfectly-sized holes that allow air flow so the garlic stays fresher longer.
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.
