moHA! Ginger Grater
The moHA! ginger grater has blades that are arranged in all directions for steady grating, as opposed to a one-directional rasp grater. But like with a wand-style rasp grater, moHA!'s cutting surface is made of sharp and durable precision-cut stainless steel. When you rotate the device, an integrated cleaning arm sweeps in a circular motion to scrape shavings off the blade, so all of the grated food ends up in your recipe, not stuck in crevices. A small compartment catches food shavings, for less mess and easier measuring; plus, the concave sides are comfortable to hold and allow you to keep a firm grip on the grater during use. The moHA! Ginger Grater has pieces that detach easily for cleaning, but the device stays together during use. When you're done using it, simply disassemble and toss it in the dishwasher.
Milk Street Közmatik
When a recipe calls for charring vegetables, what do you do? Well, you can fire up the grill but that is a lot of work for just one eggplant or two bell peppers. In Turkey, however, they have a better solution called the Közmatik, a metal disk that fits perfectly over the burner of a gas stove. Evenly spaced holes allow heat to circulate around the vegetables, so you are truly roasting, rather than searing as you would on a skillet. The holes are close enough to hold even small veggies, like slender spring onions, and the disk is large enough to keep several bulbous eggplants from rolling off. It’s also less messy than charring directly on the burner: The Közmatik catches nearly all of the bits of charred vegetable skin and juices that would leak onto the surface of the stove. And, once cooled, it can be thrown in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
​Christopher Kimball for Kuhn Rikon Ratchet Grinder
Most pepper mills (this model also grinds spices) take forever to grind just one tablespoon. This new design—which we developed with Kuhn Rikon—is easy to use and produces all the spice you can use quickly and easily. Its innovative back-and-forth ratchet action is easier than a twist-style mill, especially for those with hand issues. The precision ceramic grinder is effective and durable, and the front-loading hopper is far easier than top-loading grinders, where half the spices inevitably spill during filling. Perhaps our favorite feature is the removable bottom container, which makes it easy to measure and transport spices to a stovetop pot or mixing bowl.
Milk Street Tuesday Nights Mediterranean
125 Simple Weeknight Recipes from the World’s Healthiest Cuisine
So much more than fish and pasta, the true cooking of the Mediterranean is a lesson in how simple, healthy food can be prepared from almost anything.Spain, Italy and France and Greece are just the start. The cooking of the Mediterranean also includes Turkey and Syria, Tunisia and Morocco, Israel and Egypt, Bosnia and Algeria. With thousands of years of culinary history and hundreds of cuisines, the Mediterranean region has one thing in common: big flavors married to everyday ingredients that combine and transform quickly and easily.
And though every recipe delivers big, naturally healthy flavors, the ingredient lists don’t go on forever. Nor does the cooking. It’s food you really can make for dinner, even if you start cooking at 6 p.m. and need dinner on the table in an hour. Real food for real people. Most of all, Tuesday Nights Mediterranean delivers food inspired by the many and diverse countries that make up the Mediterranean region, not just the usual suspects. This is not a diet cookbook, but it does offer naturally healthy recipes with big, interesting flavors.

Milk Street Sofrito
We created our sofrito to be the perfect building block to cook a wide variety of recipes in less time, based on the tradition of Italian and Spanish grandmothers who make this by the jar to simplify cooking and boost flavor. After much testing, we came up with an aromatic base of sautéed onions, carrots and celery, complemented by the bright tones of tomatoes, white wine and vinegar. For additional depth, it has earthy, umami notes from mushroom powder, aromatic notes of rosemary and thyme, and just a hint of heat from black pepper and Kashmiri chili powder. A few tablespoons of this jammy sofrito is all it takes to spread rich, concentrated power into soups, sauces, stews, braises and nearly anything else that needs a boost of big flavor.
Just Panela Granulated Panela Sugar
Here at Milk Street we have rediscovered more flavorful pantry items including flours, vinegars, oils, and salts. At the top of our list, however, is sugar. This raw, unrefined sugar from Colombia packs a complex, earthy flavor that’s terrific in everything from tea, coffee and cocktails to oatmeal or grapefruit. The bittersweet flavor also does well in savory applications, like a pot of Mexican beans or tomato-based pasta sauces. It will become your sugar bowl standard.
Milk Street Saya Knife Guard - Kitchin-To
This is the ideal companion piece to our all-purpose Kitchin-toâ„¢ knife. Japanese kitchen knives are traditionally stored in wooden scabbards called sayas, which protect the blade—and your fingertips—from damage in a crowded drawer. We partnered with our knifemaker for a custom ash wood saya for our broad-bladed Kitchin-toâ„¢ knife, which is too large to fit most knife blocks. The sturdy, durable and beautifully grained wood guard perfectly fits the blade (simply sliding on) and attaches securely via a simple wooden pin. The wood also helps wick away any moisture clinging to the blade, which prevents oxidation or rust.Â
​Mexico by Hand Terra Cotta Bowl
These lovely little bowls are handmade by artisans in Capula, Michoacán. We love the traditional touch these give a tabletop when filled with herby garnishes, dipping sauces and small snacks like olives or nuts. Available in blue or green. Purchase includes one 4 ounce bowl.
DISCLAIMER: We only carry the larger size bowl, not the extra-small size depicted in the photos.
Milk Street Saya Knife Guard - Kitchin-Tan
Japanese kitchen knives are traditionally stored in wooden scabbards called sayas, which protect the blade—and your fingertips—from damage in a crowded drawer. We partnered with our knifemaker for a custom ash wood saya to be the perfect companion for our Kitchin-tan™ knife or Milk Street Kitchin-tan™ Serrated Japanese-Style Utility Knife. The sturdy, durable and beautifully grained wood guard perfectly fits the blade (simply sliding on) and attaches securely via a simple wooden pin. The wood also helps wick away any moisture clinging to the blade, which prevents oxidation or rust.
Professional Secrets Chef Fork
This durable, stainless steel fork from Professional Secrets stands out among the rest because its food and pasta-friendly prongs grip food properly without slippage or damage. This sturdy fork consists of a single, solid, continuous piece, making it less likely to break, unlike lesser quality varieties. We love the great design offered here along with the solid weight and the feel of it in our hands.
​Milk Street Cast Iron Stovetop Korean BBQ
Inspired by the communal style of grilling thinly sliced meats, our Cast-Iron Stovetop Korean Barbecue brings the experience of Korean barbecue to your table. Simply place thinly sliced meat on the ridged, domed center—the juices will slide down into a reservoir, where vegetables pick up that flavor as they cook. The cast-iron construction means the grill heats evenly and retains that heat well even after it’s removed from the source. It fits well over any type of burner or cooktop, including portable stoves, so you can use it just about anywhere. And besides grilling sliced meats, it’s also great for thin fish filets, sliced vegetables, flatbreads, tortillas and more—perfect for entertaining groups. Plus, two side handles make for easy maneuvering.
Port Living Concrete Pinch Bowl — Set of Two
It's essential to keep an open container of salt next to the stove, since you're (ideally) seasoning to taste throughout the cooking process. Port Living Co.'s concrete pinch bowl has a solid square base that prevents accidental spillage, and the clean lines are attractive but unobtrusive—and because they come in a set of two, they're perfect for using tableside instead of salt and pepper shakers. Each bowl is treated with a food-grade sealant that is easy to wipe clean, so you can use them interchangeably for salt, spices or sugar.
Guelaguetza Designs Plates — Set of 4
Handcrafted exclusively for Milk Street by potters in Puebla, these glazed ceramic plates are painted in the distinctive Talavera style, whose intricate designs evolved from Spanish artisans who arrived in the 16th century. Coming in a set of four, each plate is one of a kind, with slightly different brush strokes and sizes.
Kinto Cast Amber Iced Tea Glass
It's hard to find glassware that is both sturdy and delicate. We like the simple, appealing design of Kinto's iced tea glasses, which are heat-resistant and sturdier than traditional glass. The subtle lip on the rims of the glasses emphasize their sleek tapered shape and also make for easier drinking. Established in 1972 in Shiga, Japan, Kinto incorporates Japanese principles of simplicity and subtle elegance into its tableware designs.
Marrakesh Walnut Harira Spoon
Named after the traditional Moroccan stew filled with tomato, lentils and chickpeas, harira spoons were designed for both serving and eating the authentic dish. We found these specific one-of-a-kind utensils in Morocco, which are hand-carved from walnut wood. The dark wood stains less and ages better over time, so they’ll hold up in your kitchen and continue to look beautiful. Use for serving, eating or to dole out spices, coffee or dry ingredients. Available in a small or large size.
RT1home Tool Wrap Apron
This 2-in-1 design functions as both a tool wrap and an apron, able to protect your clothes while gardening and keep your tools secure. When planting, simply tie the apron around your waist and place any necessary tools in the pockets. And when you’re done, undo the straps, roll it up and tie it closed to keep your tools neatly tucked away. Plus, the apron is made from Sunbrella fabric, a sturdy but pliable canvas used on boats and for awnings. The fabric is resistant to UV rays, water, mold and mildew, so it can take on all the elements outdoors.
