Mymouné Pomegranate Molasses
I discovered this Pomegranate Molasses from Mymouné through a Cambridge restaurant called Moona; the Lebanese company makes all of its products by hand in small batches, and their pomegranate molasses is the sharpest and brightest I have ever tasted. The bottle will last a long time, and it is so much better than the sweeter, less balanced supermarket products. It's a a powerhouse ingredient used throughout the cooking of the Middle East and the Caucasus region that I guarantee you'll love. — Christopher Kimball
Cuisipro Box Grater
This box grater features four cutting sides—coarse grate, medium grate, fine grate and slice—all made from etched metal, which increases each blade’s sharpness and durability, and they won’t buckle under pressure. And unlike other brands, which often have a thick frame of metal or plastic between each cutting surface, Cuisipro extends each of their grater's cutting surfaces to the edge: more area means easier slicing, quicker grating and less work, so you can tackle soft foods like certain cheeses and sturdy veggies like carrots with ease. Plus, there aren’t any extra nooks and crannies for bits of food to get stuck in, making for easier cleanup. Its ergonomic top handle is coated in comfortable, nonslip rubber, and the grater has a rubberized detachable base that holds it steady, measures volume and collects the gratings. You can simply grate, measure, remove and dump directly into your pan without extra fuss.
Kona Safe/Clean Bristle-Free Grill Brush
No more worrying about sharp metal bristles that might scratch or fall into your grill or melted nylon bristles that can melt with too much heat: Kona's grill brush features a helix-coiled scrubber made of stainless steel wire, so it's highly effective for thick gas grill grates and thin charcoal grates as well as gentle enough for any material, even ceramic kamado grills. And the contoured handle is comfortable to hold with both hands, with nonslip textured finger grips to prevent slipping.
Burlap & Barrel Silk Chili
Softer and more vibrant than the stale chili flakes on grocery store shelves, these fruity chilies are sun-dried then stone-ground into flakes with a touch of sunflower oil and salt to preserve their soft texture. They have a bright medium heat and rich flavor reminiscent of sun-dried tomato.

Ingredients: Pomegranate [/accordion] Specifications [/title]Net Volume: 250 millilitersPlace of Origin: Lebanon [/accordions-break] Twenty years ago when John Willoughby, the former executive editor of Gourmet magazine, sang the praises of pomegranate molasses, I, of course, made fun of him for suggesting yet another hard-to-find ingredient. [/banner_heading] As usual, I was wrong and he was right. I now use this simple ingredient every week, adding it to soups, stews, salad dressings—just about anything that could use a hit of sweet and sour. — Christopher Kimball [/banner-text-break] Use pomegranate molasses for a deep, slightly sweet tang in marinades, salad dressings or sauces. It pairs particularly well with earthy whole grains and legumes, and with dried fruits and nut-forward desserts. [/how-to-use-break] Because this pomegranate molasses is so well-balanced, you may find yourself looking for more and more uses outside of marinades and dressings. Try a splash in your seltzer or ginger ale, or use it in a cocktail.
