Favorite Eco Kitchen Items

Dec 5, 2010

Sometimes being Eco-friendly in the kitchen just means avoiding plastic. When you go to other materials for your cooking and baking needs, everyone is better off. On top of my list are glass, stainless steel, and bamboo. I don't have all of these, but I dream of some!

Emerson Creek Pottery

I use the Emerson Creek pottery large loaf pans about twice a week. The first one was sent to me for review, I loved it so much I bought another one so that I can make two loaves of bread at once. It makes a perfect crust and a perfectly baked bread! Great for banana bread. Ceramic with a non-toxic, Eco-friendly finish, as opposed to the toxic chemical non-stick coated loaf pans sold in most stores. It is also really easy to wash and has never chipped or broken even though I banged it a few times.
See the full review, "A natural alternative to toxic bakeware!".

Reusable Shopping Bag

I was never a fan of plastic bags even before reusable ones became more mainstream. I guess that's because in Russia we've always used reusable ones, until the Soviet Union fell apart and the west infiltrated - then we were inundated with everything plastic and actually thought it was pretty cool, that is until we realized the bag can't hold much and your groceries fall out the bottom. ;)

Donvier 837409W 1-Quart Ice Cream Maker

Did you know that ice cream manufacturers do not need to disclose all ingredients? Some are considered 'standard practice' and are not listed on labels. They aren't natural either, chemicals. What to do? Make your own! I'm dreaming of one of these gadgets since my husband can't live without ice cream. No electricity needed!

What did you think of this list?

I remember making ice cream growing up. It was always more fun to eat, when you went through all the work of making it. No. 15 looks awesome! Cool list!

I love Bamboo in the kitchen- it can be used for anything and it's sustainable, win-win! I work with an all-natural cookie and ice cream company (Kicks Cookies and Ice Cream) and didn't know about others not listing all the ingredients or how many preservatives were used until I started working with them. But, making your own without electricity? That sounds like a fun activity to do with kids! Thanks for the list :)

You're welcome Sam! Yes, that's a perfect way to harness all that kid energy ;)

I had no idea that reusable produce bags existed but I love that! Every time I go grocery shopping, I feel so bad for so many wasted produce bags and wondered how sanitary it would be for me to bring in old produce bags, so this sounds like an awesome concept and option. I need to get those. Thanks for sharing this great list, Anastasia! :)

Welcome Debbie! I need to get some myself too.
