Go Green in the Kitchen.
It's the small changes you make that can make a big difference. In the kitchen you can:
- Store your food in glass, stainless steel or lead-free ceramic ware. Plastic containers can leach dioxins and phthalates into the food. CHEFS carries glass storage containers for refrigerator or countertop storage.
- Compost your kitchen vegetable leftovers (no meats) and use them as fertilizer, too. Recycle glass, cans, and paper whenever possible. CHEFS 1-Gallon Stainless Steel Compost Container and Pull-Out Trash Can and Recycler, make composting and recycling easy.
- Portion your own food that you buy in bulk. This saves you cost, and cuts down on packing materials and waste. Check out CHEFS Frisper and Foodsaver to reseal bags and save freshness and money.
- Go unplugged. Use kitchen tools that don't require electricity, like a mandoline instead of a food processor or a carving knife instead of an electric knife. Visit's CHEFS Kitchen Tools and Cutlery to find mandolins and kitchen knives.
- Use products made of sustainable products like cork and bamboo, or recycled old wood or scrap wood. Concrete counters are chic and take the polymers out of play; recycled stone chips also are being used for durable counter tops. Check out CHEFS bamboo cooking utensils, cutting boards, and placemats.

| All-Clad Stainless-Steel 14-Piece Cookware Set The All-Clad starter set was one of the best investments we made in our kitchen. The food cooks evenly. Pots can be moved seamlessly from stovetop to oven. Clean-up is surprisingly easy. The large pans have additional grips, making them managable even ladden down with food. The starter set is perfect for our family of four, although I do have my eye on a few new pieces for the holidays. |
| Breville Citrus Press 800-CPXL I use this appliance weekly to make fresh orange juice. I juice two full bags of oranges. I can't belive how much juice is extracted...the only thing left is the peel. I like a lot of pulp so I use the larger hole filter. Breville makes high quality appliances. This juicer is solidly built and beautiful on the counter. It takes virtually no physical effort to juice a citrus fruit. Cleanup is super easy. I can't recommend this enough! You won't be sorry about this purchase!" |
