Wet-It Dishcloths
In addition to being highly durable and effective, Wet-It Dishcloths are ridiculously easy to keep clean in a wide variety of methods: Wash them in the washing machine and dryer with the rest of your laundry; add them to the top rack of your dishwasher; soak them in a boiling pot of water; or wet the cloths then microwave for three minutes to sanitize.
Crown Maple Maple Pearl's
Fold Maple Pearls into Buttermilk Biscuits or scones for a maple-flavored twist on the classics, or add to cookie recipes such as our rich Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies; they're also easy to crush or grind into granulated maple sugar for any recipe. At breakfast, we like to sprinkle Maple Pearls over oatmeal in place of maple syrup for added texture, especially with buttery and nutty flavors—try them with Browned Butter Apple Oatmeal. Or add to crunchy salads for a sweet accent; the maple flavor complements the crunchy candied pecans perfectly in our Apple and Fennel Salad with Candied Pecans.

iSi Flex-It Measuring Cups
For easy, spill-free pouring, these smartly designed silicone measuring cups are just the thing. The flexible material allows you to squeeze the cup and create a spout anywhere on its rim, adjusting as you pour. So whether you need precision pouring for runny liquids—like a thin stream of oil when emulsifying aioli—or a wider lip to quickly pour thick batters, the Flex-It Measuring Cups will work perfectly. Plus, the food-grade silicone can be used in the microwave and is heat-resistant up to 490 degrees Fahrenheit. It's also dishwasher-safe: We found that even after we left the cups sitting overnight with turmeric and chili, the silicone was easy to clean and didn't have any residual smells or stains. Choose between a three-piece set with 1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup sizes, or buy the largest cup on its own—it's large enough to mix up your favorite pancake batter without dirtying a bowl!
Riso Zaccaria Nero Otello (Black) Rice
Zaccaria's heirloom rice can be cooked in just 25 minutes by boiling in water. You can also use Milk Street's method of cooking 1 cup rice with 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt: Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 25 to 35 minutes depending on your pot and how low your simmer is. Let rest 5 minutes.

Riso Zaccaria Ris Rus (Red) Rice
Ris Rus is a type of Italian red rice with a nutty, toasty flavor and richness that brings to mind buttered bread, even without the addition of butter or fat. When cooked, the rice has a tender, fluffy interior with a toothsome quality from the tenderized hulls for an overall satisfying feel. The hulls also retain their red hue, providing a beautiful and appetizing visual contrast to the pale starches. Third-generation family company Riso Zaccaria oversees all aspects of its heirloom rice production, from cultivation to packaging. The Zaccaria farm is located in the Baraggia, an area of Italy's Piedmont region historically dedicated to the cultivation of rice, where the hardy foothills soil yields complex and concentrated flavors.
Zaccaria's heirloom rice can be cooked in just 25 minutes by boiling in water. You can also use Milk Street's method of cooking 1 cup rice with 1 ½ cups water and 1 teaspoon salt: Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water is absorbed, rice is tender and inner starches have burst through the hull, 25 to 35 minutes depending on your pot and how low your simmer is. Let rest 5 minutes.

Fior di Maiella Italian Hot Pepper Flakes
We're a big fan of chili flakes here at Milk Street and love finding exciting new varieties from around the world, but for those times you just want a familiar favorite—the kind you'll find at every pizzeria—this savory Italian blend is your best bet. A good proportion of capsaicin-rich seeds make Fior di Maiella fairly spicy, with rich earthy notes and a range of deep red hues and different-sized flakes that look visually appealing. Their vibrant, shiny appearance and pliancy are in fact signs of freshness, versus the stale, washed-out shards you'll find in grocery-store red pepper flakes.
Paqu Jaya Peruvian Limo Chili Flakes
The chili flakes' fruitiness pairs well with fresh herbs such as cilantro; try Paqu Jaya Limo Chili Flakes as a finishing touch for our Spaghetti with Cilantro Yogurt in place of Aleppo pepper, or sprinkle some atop our Shanghai-Style Scallion Noodles. You can also substitute some for the fresh Fresno chili in Portuguese Shrimp Mozambique or Spicy Beef Salad with Mint and Cilantro (Larb Neua).

Knabstrup Keramik Terra Cotta Mini Serving Set
We love the elegant angular silhouette of these terra cotta bowls from iconic Danish company Knabstrup Keramik, whose conical shape is inspired by traditional Danish dough bowls for kneading; in these smaller bowls, the stable base helps prevent spilling. The interiors are coated with shiny brown, white and cream-colored glazes, neutral tones that perfectly complement the unfinished earthenware exteriors. Plus, the accompanying wooden tray makes the set of three easy to transport and accentuates the bowls' naturalistic aesthetic. They're just as useful for serving salt, sauces and garnishes at the table as they are for kitchen prep: Use them for small quantities of prepped ingredients like minced garlic and grated ginger, or keep them on hand as pinch bowls for your favorite seasonings or even bench flour when kneading dough. Established in 1897, Knabstrup Keramik partners with Denmark's leading potters and designers to make its ceramic housewares inspired by Scandinavian tradition.
