There are many kitchen tools we absolutely love as they make our lives easier and our cooking better, but some are actually not necessary and may just create clutter in your beloved kitchen. There are many specialized tools that only certain people really need, and some that look like they could be universally useful until you end up not using them that much. Here are three of the popular kitchen tools you don’t actually need and can replace them with something you already have.

Wooden Spoons

Wooden spoons will rot easily if they stay wet, they can’t go in the dishwasher, they can chip easily, so it’s clear why they are the first on our list today. Silicone spatulas, on the other hand, provide versatility, precision, and can be easily cleaned.

Box Grater

Box graters come with different sides so they look like something you could use for many different things, so why do we all end up using only the main grater in most cases? If this is your story too, try a flat grater instead and enjoy all the space it saves when stored.

Garlic Press

It’s so easy to chop garlic with a knife, so why is everyone obsessed with garlic press? It can be a pain to clean and requires additional space for storing. Using your favorite knife instead will actually save you time.

Many of the things that make our lives easier on a daily basis are nowadays made of plastic. Unfortunately, plastic is bad for the environment. That’s why, whenever we can, we try to choose tools and utensils made of natural materials, and wooden spoons are one of the best examples. They look nice and inspire us to cook more often, and here are three reasons why you should use wooden spoons for cooking.

Heat-Resistant

There’s no risk of burning your hand on a hot wooden spoon like there is when you’re using metal utensils. Wooden spoons can be left in the pot or on its side and you can use them for any food you want, no matter how hot it gets during cooking.

Durable

You can get a couple of wooden spoons and be covered for years. They are durable, won’t break easily, and it’s easy to keep them clean. Just don’t put them in the dishwasher as they may lose shape!

No Scratching

If you have non-stick pots and pans that you care about, stirring the food with a wooden spoon won’t scratch them. Metal spoons and spatulas can easily ruin your dishes, but wooden spoons are soft enough to do the job with no consequences.

Many companies are trying to come up with solutions that will reduce plastic waste. Individual plastic utensils and straws are a big part of the problem, and this startup has an innovative idea on how to replace them.

Biofase is a Mexico-based company that makes biodegradable and sustainable forks, knives, spoons, and straws using leftover avocado pits. The company was founded in 2014, after its founder, chemical engineer Scott Munguía, discovered that avocado pits contain a biopolymer that’s similar to the one found in corn that’s currently used for making bioplastic.

The products are made from 60% avocado biopolymer and 40% synthetic organic ingredients. The company is on a mission to meet the demand for such products that aren’t made from plastic.

“Did you know that plastic straws can take up to 200 years to decompose?” Biofase USA posted on Facebook. “And most ‘alternative’ straws need special facilities to be compostable. Our straws and cutlery degrade naturally in just 240 days and you can even compost them at home! Make the change!”
