Cellarmate One-Push 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: Opening with a single push, you can use it one-handed for ease. 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 One-Push 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.
Handmade Deruta Wine Pitcher
Beloved for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns—and characterized by detailed motifs inspired by nature, mythology, and historical events—Deruta ceramics is a style of pottery with roots tracing back to the 12th century. Thanks to an abundance of clay and skilled artisans, the town of Deruta, located in the Umbria region of Italy, remains a hub for ceramic production. Unlike most ceramic styles, Deruta uses maiolica, a tin-glazed earthenware that is fired twice in the kiln—once with a base glaze, then again with the painted finish. This allows the artist to be detailed in the painting of each piece, a traditional method that has been passed down from generation to generation. In business since 1965, the master craftsmen at Mod Ceramics have been individually creating and hand-painting every piece of Deruta ceramics that goes out the door. The Handmade Deruta Wine Pitcher is no different. It’s available in two different color variations— Classic: a design showcasing the beautiful Chianti countryside, or the sunny Mediterranean Alcantara design. Holding up to 27 ounces, it’s the perfect vessel for wine, water or any other beverage. And it also makes a wonderful gift or vase. Sturdy and well-made to avoid chipping, it will last a lifetime. Each piece is made to order, signed and dated before shipping.
Like Family California Lime Oil
Most citrus-infused olive oils taste fake, because they are—manufacturers pack olive oil with aromatic chemicals and call it a day. Not so with Like Family’s California Lime Olive Oil. The family-owned company starts with young, fruit-forward arbequina olives harvested in California and presses them with whole limes, a rare and powerful combination. This “co-milling” creates a beautiful finish: The zesty, tart notes of California lime are even more concentrated and complex against the backdrop of earthy, fruity arbequina olives. And the finished product has the telltale velvety mouthful of a great Californian extra virgin olive oil.
Our current stock is from the limited December 2023 harvest. We drizzle this zippy, electric green oil into herb sauces, on soup, grilled fish and crudo, salads, grains, roasted veggies, avocado toast, corn on the cob, shrimp, Thai curry and more.
Like Family California Meyer Lemon Oil
Most citrus-infused olive oils taste fake, because they are—manufacturers pack olive oil with aromatic chemicals and call it a day. Not so with Like Family’s California Meyer Lemon Olive Oil. The family-owned company starts with young, fruit-forward arbequina olives harvested in California and presses them with whole Meyer lemons from their own orchard. This “co-milling” creates a beautifully lemony finish: The bright, sweet notes of Meyer lemon, so much more floral than the standard lemon, play perfectly off of earthy, fruity arbequina olives. And the finished product has the telltale velvety mouthful of a great Californian extra virgin olive oil.
Our current stock is from the limited December 2023 harvest. We drizzle this on roasted veggies and grilled fish, as well as Parmesan-rich or seafood-based pastas. Emulsify it into vinaigrettes, add to hummus or marinades for feta and other cheeses, finish salads or even add it to your baking.
Dave's Cold Brewed Coffee Syrup
Dave’s Coffee Syrup is for so much more than coffee milk, Rhode Island’s sweet, creamy official state beverage. Dave’s syrup starts with Brazilian coffee beans—roasted specifically for use in the syrup—before the nutty, smoky ground beans are cold-brewed for 18 hours. This coffee is boiled with pure cane sugar and agave nectar for a complex, dimensional sweetness, until coffee syrup is born. Our testers noticed that this syrup tastes the way coffee smells—sweet and toasty—with none of the bitter or tannic notes of a brewed cup. While coffee milk is a classic and refreshing way to enjoy the taste of this syrup, we also love it in cocktails, batters, as a binder for granola, as a glaze for meat or roasted vegetables, brushed on to pastries and dessert and so much more. The full-bodied, chocolatey notes of coffee shine through in every application.
Milk Street Garlic Pro
Garlic Pros are estimated to ship this Fall
There are few foods more annoying to prepare than garlic. It’s a pain to peel, tricky to slice and grating can be as risky to your fingers as the garlic clove. And garlic presses are an utter nuisance to clean, much less extract all the flavor that give garlic its reputation as an aromatic powerhouse. Introducing the Milk Street Garlic Pro, a one-stop solution for easy garlic prep. The intuitive design functions like a mini mandoline but is much safer, thanks to the hopper that keeps your fingers safe and sound. Simply choose the cutting attachment for sliced, pressed or grated garlic; load the garlic cloves into the large, grippy hopper then press down and slide back and forth to effortlessly process the garlic. The odor-proof polycarbonate base holds over a whole head of prepared garlic, which can be transferred to the mixing bowl or skillet without ever having to touch it. The sturdy steel, silicone and polycarbonate construction is precisely built for long-term durability. The three snap-in blade attachments lock securely into the bottom of the lid, so you’ll never lose them in the bottom of your utility drawer.
Genicook Measuring Cups
Lightweight and incredibly durable, Genicook’s Measuring Cup Set is our key to accurately portioning out both dry goods and liquids. Made from borosilicate glass, the same material as science beakers, these high temperature-resistant cups are less likely to crack, chip or scratch. And they’re naturally odor– and stain–resistant. Tall and equipped with sturdy handles, each cup stores away easily (unlike some wide-mouthed options on the market), while high walls keep ingredients contained—even when whisking or stirring. The V-shaped spouts on all three sides make for smoother, more comfortable pouring without any splatter, and the featherlight weight makes for easy pouring without any hand fatigue from heft. Use these cups for anything that needs to be measured—it works for dry goods and liquids! Unlike other liquid measuring cups that fan out, yielding inaccurate dry good measurements, we tested these cups with multiple flours and grains to verify that they produce the exact same results as a measuring cup made for dry goods. The set features 1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup capacities or get the 4-cup (Large) by itself.
The Ridley’s Harris Tweed Hip Flask
Drink your liquor in style with the Ridley’s Harris Tweed Hip Flask—a stainless steel vessel outfitted with beautiful Scottish wool. Made on the Isle of Harris, where sheep outnumber humans, the sleeve boasts a MacLeod tartan design for a classic Scottish look. Equipped with an easy-to-use screw-cap and sturdy design, it’s the kind of flask we think will make a great gift for just about anyone.
Proud Grill UltraVersatile Grill Basket
Our trick to seamless grilling? Grill baskets. Perfect for grilling delicate foods without damage from sticking or falling through the grate, we put ten grill baskets to the test to find the cream of the crop. Proud Grill’s UltraVersatile Grill Basket beat out the competition thanks to higher perforated walls and dividers, plus a removable, stay-cool handle. The durable yet lightweight stainless steel heats up quickly, and thanks to a large fire-facing surface area, food can spread out and grill instead of steam, which is the case with some other grill baskets. Plus, higher sides keep food in the basket when flipping—no fallen ingredients in sight.
Unlike most grill baskets, the Proud Grill has a detachable handle that remains cool throughout use, offering excellent maneuverability while remaining safe. And it can be attached to all four sides of the basket. Removable dividers are also an added bonus feature, allowing you to divide the basket into up to five sections to grill more than one item at once. Compatible when placed both vertically or horizontally on most grills, even smokers, use it for vegetables, fish, shrimp, wings or any other ingredient that might fall through the grates on a standard grill.
Proud Grill Magnetic Two-Piece BBQ Tool Set
Replace your bulky collection of grill tools with Proud Grill’s Magnetic Two-Piece BBQ Tool Set. This multi-use tool serves as extra-long grill tongs when connected, but apart, one piece serves as a spatula while the other serves as a grill fork. The unique design works thanks to an easy-to-operate magnet: It keeps the tools connected as tongs—perfect for serving and rotating—or disconnects easily to separate the long, flat spatula for flipping burgers and the sturdy grill fork for picking up grilled chicken. And because the set is magnetic, you can take them apart and configure them however you like, then attach them to your grill when you’re done for safekeeping. Dishwasher-safe, this set can handle anything from chicken and steak to cauliflower with ease, without all the clutter of typical grill tools.
Aux Co. Ltd. Otona No Teppan Iron Plate with Lid and Trivet—Small
Translating loosely to “grilling on an iron plate,” teppanyaki is a beloved Japanese style of cuisine that is hard to replicate at home. Relying on simple, fresh ingredients—like vegetables, meat, seafood and noodles—with minimal seasonings, cooking is dependent on a large, flat grill that heats to high temperatures. Thankfully, the expert artisans from Japan’s Tsubame-Sanjo, an area renowned for its superior metal craftsmanship, created an extra-thick iron pan to recreate teppanyaki cooking in your own kitchen. Naturally nonstick and able to heat up to very high temperatures, this beautiful plate with easy-to-grip handles comes equipped with a matching lid and a natural wooden trivet. For the most traditional cooking, begin your food on the stove before covering it and transferring the plate to the wooden serving trivet to finish cooking. Metal insets keep the wood from scorching, so you can bring food from the stove to the table with complete ease. The large model is big enough to serve three to four people and comes with two handles for easy carrying. The smaller model will serve one to two people and comes with a single handle.

Kuze Fuku & Sons Garlic Miso
Combining the umami depth of miso and the sweet bite of garlic, Kuze Fuku & Sons’ Garlic Miso Topping has become a staple ingredient in the Milk Street fridge. A coarse yet spreadable paste, it begins with garlic-forward, savory flavor, followed by sweet and subtly funky notes of miso. Perfectly balanced for more than just Japanese dishes, a first intense hit of flavor mellows out and leaves you craving another bite. Add it to noodles, pizza, pasta dishes, dressings, dips, sandwiches, broths and sauces. Use it as a marinade for meats, fish and vegetables, or mix into butter for an elevated compound butter. Or just slather it on bread. It’s that good.
Salad Sling
Simple but brilliant, the space-saving Salad Sling is our go-to replacement for a bulky, breakable traditional salad spinner. Made from ultra-absorbent microfiber, the Salad Sling is designed with four long “handles;” simply load your greens into the middle, pull the corners together and swing. A combination of the Salad Sling’s absorbent fibers and centrifugal force pull moisture from lettuce (it’s big enough for a whole head), hearty greens and herbs in a matter of seconds. The triple-layer Salad Sling has a waterproof liner to keep any water droplets from flying around your kitchen. Have multiple ingredients to dry? Just empty and flip the Salad Sling and load up the dry side. When you’re done, simply hang it to dry or toss it in the washing machine, then store it away compactly with your kitchen towels. Available in Original and Mini sizes, and as a set of two.
Belazu Sour Cherry Molasses
Mouthwateringly tart, balanced by sweet, silky wine-like notes, Belazu’s Sour Cherry Molasses is not to be conflated with pomegranate molasses. Made with a blend of dark red Kutahya and Katirli sour cherries sourced from Türkiye, this complex and rich rendition tastes distinctly like cherries. Winner of a Great Taste Award in 2023, it’s full of body—thick and deep red with a pourable viscosity thicker than your average balsamic. While we love it drizzled over sweet applications like cheesecake, pudding and ice cream, it also is a dynamic addition to pork, duck, vegetables like eggplant, yogurt, oatmeal, cocktails, marinades and so much more.
Fundodai "Clear" Soy Sauce
Salty, rich soy flavor that’s completely clear in color? From the masters at Fundodai, this clear shoyu made in Japan was inspired by clear colas and non-alcoholic beers, quickly gaining international attention for its unique attributes. Just as full of complex flavor as a typical dark soy sauce, this shoyu is ideal for incorporating into dishes without altering the color like traditional soy would. Transparent or “invisible,” the clear salinity is matched with sweet boozy notes, a bit of tang and tons of umami. Use it anywhere you would soy sauce, especially in dishes in which you’d prefer to avoid a color change. We especially like it to season a lightly colored soup, raw or cooked fish or a fresh pot of rice.
Fundodai Irizake- Ancient Japanese Seasoning
Translating to “roast sake,” Fundodai’s Irizake is the special Japanese seasoning that you’ve probably never heard of. And we truly believe it will change the way you cook. An ancient Japanese seasoning that predates soy sauce, it’s made by combining bonito flakes and plum vinegar with sake for a less salty condiment that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Fundodai’s Irizake has a savory-sweet depth from the concentrated sake, along with smoky, fishy sweet notes from the katsubushi, plus a tart, savory, fruity plum flavor that cuts through and lingers on your palate. It can serve the role of soy sauce but sets itself apart thanks to the complexity of the blended flavors. Mix it into sauces, vinaigrettes and marinades; use as a seasoning for rice; as a dipping sauce for shabu shabu or sashimi; as a brine for salmon and so much more. It pairs especially well with roasted vegetables, like summer squash or charred cabbage.
Fundodai Liquid Miso Dashi
Restaurant-quality miso soup at home just got easier—no need to spend days making your own dashi or using an instant version with little flavor. Enter Fundodai’s Liquid Miso Dashi, made from a duo of powerhouse Japanese ingredients. It’s crafted in Japan from a miso made of rice and barley paste, incorporated with a rich dashi containing bonito, scallops, sardines and kombu. The dashi’s unique blend of seafood gives it far more flavor and complexity than a typical dashi, while the combination of rice and barley makes for an equally flavorful miso. With a well-balanced salt level, the toasty, nutty miso pairs well with the umami notes from the dashi, dissolving easily into broths, sauces, marinades and more. Use it to add slow-cooked depth to soups and stews in minutes, as a marinade on its own, mixed into sauces, tossed into noodles, as the base for a stir-fry and so much more.
