I didn’t grow up in a toaster-oven home. Honestly, when it came to kitchen appliances, my parents kept it fairly simple. Along with the standard staples (a refrigerator, freezer, oven, and stove) we had a 2-slice toaster, blender, coffee maker, and microwave. If my mom was feeling really wild, she’d bust out the Crock-Pot. Rice was made on the stove, cake batter was usually mixed by hand, and cans were opened via manual, crank technology—the first time I was introduced to an electric version my hands sighed in relief.

The Drying Rack Our Community Can’t Get Enough Of

Whether you have limited counter space, are without a dishwasher, or just prefer to hand-wash your favorite cocktail glasses, it's ideal to own a space-saving drying rack. Even better? When that same drying rack can also be used as a cooling rack for baked goods, a trivet for hot dishes, and a colander for fruits and vegetables. If this sounds like the perfect addition to your kitchen, you're in luck: The over-the-sink dish drying rack from our Five Two line is exactly what you need.

This handy mat does more than most dish-drying racks. It's made from silicone that's heat-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, rolls easily (making storage a breeze when it's not in use), and the utensil holder doubles as a mini colander. It's also dishwasher safe, which means quick clean-up for those lucky enough to have access to a dishwasher. It's no surprise that this drying rack has been an MVP among our community members for years.

It's the beginning of a new work day and you start your morning by brewing a fresh cup (or pot) of coffee, take a few sips, set it down to let it cool, and completely forget you ever made it. Hours pass, and it suddenly reappears in your line of vision, forcing you to grapple with the fact that you let that once-delicious cup turn into something cold, sad, and stale. It's ok, it happens to the best of us.

Luckily, OHOM—the Los Angeles-based design firm known for simple and functional drinkware—created a solution for that common dilemma. And, not surprisingly, it has been the best-selling mug in our Shop for years.

Let’s be real: There’s more to an eco-conscious kitchen than organic produce and free-range eggs. (Though don’t get me wrong, those are super crucial, too.) It’s also important to think about your tools—especially when it comes to those baking accessories. I might’ve spent my teenage years mastering the almighty cookie cake—just ask my friends!— but it wasn’t until I recently bought a stand mixer and upped my baking cadence that I noticed how much waste making something sweet and delicious creates. As someone who tries to shop sustainably, the thought of a trash can stuffed with superfluous parchment paper and muffin liners is, well, a bummer. (If you clicked on this story, I have a feeling you’re right there with me.)
