One of Our Favorite Small Brands Is Holding Their First-Ever Sale and It Includes Their Bestsellers

Plastic tends to get a bad rap in the kitchen, but it’s ideal for certain tasks, like chopping veggies or meat. Material’s incredibly popular reBoard is a plastic cutting board you won’t feel icky about: It’s BPA-free, made with zero virgin plastic, and a portion of the profits from two of its most popular colors are donated to charities.

You know what’s better than a cutting board? A little cutting board! Seriously, these things are great. We love the mini-me version of the reBoard because it’s the perfect size for chopping alliums (you won’t have to wash a big board for one stinky onion) or slicing limes (we are entering margarita season, after all). These baby boards also make perfect snack trays or cheese platters.

A truly well-made sauté pan is hard to find. This one is thoughtfully designed, with tall sides — meaning you can braise, simmer, and sear, all without stovetop splatter. It has a copper core for boosted heat retention, and comes with a lid. It’s the sort of pan you didn’t know how much you needed until you own it, so click “add to cart” already!

This three-quart wonder is a must for anyone who cooks rice or grains, boils pasta, steams veggies, or makes soup. (So … everyone who cooks, basically.) It has the same copper core as the sauté pan, and is lined with 5 layers of stainless steel for even cooking. Personally, I’m a big fan of the markers on the inside of the pot, which tell you how full it is without having to measure.

The 10.5” coated pan is a must for anyone who ever cooks with nonstick. Material’s version is BPA-free and lasts 37 times longer than trendy ceramic pans (just be sure not to use metal utensils on its surface). It comes in two pretty colors, making it a much nicer addition to your pots and pans collection than that old black Teflon-coated thing lurking in the back of your cabinets.

A good chef’s knife is key in the kitchen, but there are some jobs that a giant blade just can’t do. Material’s knife trio includes a 4” knife to tackle intricate tasks, a 6” serrated knife (so helpful for cutting tomatoes!), and a classic 8” chef’s knife. The handles come in a few different colors, which means that — unlike clunky 12-piece knife blocks — this set wins at function and form.

This essential set of tools comes with everything you’ll need to cook dinner, including a beautiful wooden spoon, a highly functional spatula, and one of the most awesome straining spoons we’ve ever used. This makes a great gift for newlyweds, first-time homeowners, college students, and yourself!
