With the holidays comes hosting, cooking, and therefore, lots of dish-cleaning. Rather than going through a pack of single-use sponges, opt for a reusable one. These zero-waste, handmade scrubbers come as a pack of two and are made from recycled terrycloth and cotton fabric scraps. They hold up in the washing machine, so they’re easy to refresh for the next batch of dirty dishes.

Fresh-cracked pepper (or salt) is way better than the alternative, but the journey to get there can be time-consuming, cramp-inducing, and all around frustrating—unless you’re using MännKitchen’s Pepper Cannon. It has 10 times the output of a typical mill, meaning less cranking. Plus, you can adjust the grind size, way more than other pepper mills, to suit your needs. The lowest setting can deliver pepper even finer than pre-ground pepper, and the largest setting produces coarse pepper for soups, stocks, brines, and rubs.
