The typical wok is lousy for home cooking. With a round bottom that doesn’t heat on a flat American burner, poorly conductive steel and low-quality construction, most woks don’t perform well enough to be worth the storage space. That’s why we designed the Milk Street Hammered Wok specifically for American home cooks. After dozens of hours testing 10 woks of varying shapes, sizes and materials, we understand the features that make a great wok. Our redesigned 13-inch wok has high-quality construction, oversized handles for better control, a special dimpled surface for nonstick cooking and a tight-fitting tempered glass lid. It will last a lifetime, and it’s guaranteed to improve your day-to-day cooking.

Use: Use on gas, electric, and induction stovetops.
Care:
Not dishwasher-safe.
Use care when cooking with acidic foods and avoid wet cooking methods, like simmering, braising and stewing. Prolonged exposure to acidity can cause reactions with the metal that can cause food discoloration and off flavors. Carbon steel also needs to stay oiled. Like cast iron, you must dry it completely and lightly oil it after washing.
To Season:
Carbon-steel woks must be seasoned before use. Scrub them aggressively with hot soapy water and a scrub brush.
-Set the pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then use a paper towel to spread the oil in a thin, even layer over the pan.
-Leave the pan over the heat until it smokes. Hold it at this stage for 1 minute, then use a paper towel held with tongs to carefully wipe the pan clean of oil.
-Repeat the second and third steps until the pan develops a golden brown patina, 3 to 5 repetitions.
Most home cooks can relate to the annoyance of scrambling to find some counter space to put down a pot lid, all while dripping liquid all over your floors and counters. But with a bit of German engineering, this problem is solved. Topfi’s Lid Holder, made of pure stainless steel, attaches to virtually any pot to provide a convenient and sturdy spot to store your lid when not in use. Small but mighty, it was a hit during testing with everyone in our kitchen. It’ll keep your surfaces clean, is dishwasher safe and, once you put the lid back on, it doubles as an easy way to allow some steam to escape from your pot. Plus, it has attached silicone tips to protect your pot from damage. It may just become the most used tool in your kitchen!

The one kind of knife missing from most Western kitchens is one of the most used in Japan—a midsized, multipurpose utility knife bigger and stronger than a paring knife but smaller and more manageable than a chef’s knife. Why Western cooks typically don’t have such a knife is beyond us, so we took months to design our own. The result is the Kitchin-kiji—the ultimate all-purpose utility knife that will speed up your prep. It’s perfect for all the “in-between” jobs, small enough for detailed handwork like slicing garlic and shallots, trimming mushrooms or cutting fruit. Plus, we designed it with a broad blade to be large enough that it won’t twist, and the larger handle fills the hand for a confident grip.

Care:
The knife must be washed by hand and dried after each use immediately to ensure no staining occurs. Do not put in dishwasher.
To maintain the blade's edge, sharpen the Kitchin-kiji at a 17 degree angle.
We absolutely love this small-batch vinegar from French artisanal producer Huilerie Beaujolaise. With a bright and tangy vibrancy akin to tangerine, this vinegar almost tastes like a shrub, or drinking vinegar. Ubiquitous to Filipino cuisine, calamansi is a citrus hybrid between kumquat and mandarin orange.

Most peelers do a lousy job. The blades are made of inferior steel so they do not peel easily and the peel itself is often too thick. The blades dull over time so you have to throw it out. Many designs have uncomfortable handles or the handles are awkward since they are not aligned properly with the blade. And when it comes to thick, tough skins such as butternut squash, you might as well give up before you start. That is why we just redesigned the peeler, using top-grade 420 stainless steel for the replaceable blade (why don’t all peelers have replaceable blades?) and a handle that is big enough for a firm, easy grip. Try it just once and you will find that it peels like cutting through butter. It’s that good!

Our trick to seamless grilling? Grill baskets. Perfect for grilling delicate foods without damage from sticking or falling through the grate, we put ten grill baskets to the test to find the cream of the crop. Proud Grill’s UltraVersatile Grill Basket beat out the competition thanks to higher perforated walls and dividers, plus a removable, stay-cool handle. The durable yet lightweight stainless steel heats up quickly, and thanks to a large fire-facing surface area, food can spread out and grill instead of steam, which is the case with some other grill baskets. Plus, higher sides keep food in the basket when flipping—no fallen ingredients in sight.
Unlike most grill baskets, the Proud Grill has a detachable handle that remains cool throughout use, offering excellent maneuverability while remaining safe. And it can be attached to all four sides of the basket. Removable dividers are also an added bonus feature, allowing you to divide the basket into up to five sections to grill more than one item at once. Compatible when placed both vertically or horizontally on most grills, even smokers, use it for vegetables, fish, shrimp, wings or any other ingredient that might fall through the grates on a standard grill.

Since 1901, Natsukashiya has been producing handcrafted confections in Japan with the same traditional preserving techniques. On a recent trip to Japan, our Milk Street team discovered the unassuming confectionery and some of their naturally sweet bites. Made with real fruit juice from produce grown all over Japan, each of Natsykashiya’s bite-sized jellies are tender and chewy with a crystalline crunch from the fine sugar coating. This set of three is complete with yuzu, white peach and grape flavors that are sweet—but not cloying, so the full brightness of the fresh fruit shines through. Unlike other gummies that are artificial, overly sweet and stick to your teeth, even those who don’t crave candy will reach for a second or third helping of this special treat.

Salty, rich soy flavor that’s completely clear in color? From the masters at Fundodai, this clear shoyu made in Japan was inspired by clear colas and non-alcoholic beers, quickly gaining international attention for its unique attributes. Just as full of complex flavor as a typical dark soy sauce, this shoyu is ideal for incorporating into dishes without altering the color like traditional soy would. Transparent or “invisible,” the clear salinity is matched with sweet boozy notes, a bit of tang and tons of umami. Use it anywhere you would soy sauce, especially in dishes in which you’d prefer to avoid a color change. We especially like it to season a lightly colored soup, raw or cooked fish or a fresh pot of rice.

Mouthwateringly tart, balanced by sweet, silky wine-like notes, Belazu’s Sour Cherry Molasses is not to be conflated with pomegranate molasses. Made with a blend of dark red Kutahya and Katirli sour cherries sourced from Türkiye, this complex and rich rendition tastes distinctly like cherries. Winner of a Great Taste Award in 2023, it’s full of body—thick and deep red with a pourable viscosity thicker than your average balsamic. While we love it drizzled over sweet applications like cheesecake, pudding and ice cream, it also is a dynamic addition to pork, duck, vegetables like eggplant, yogurt, oatmeal, cocktails, marinades and so much more.

Every kitchen should have a Chinese-style cleaver, whose tall, heavy-duty blade and forward-heavy balance do most of the work for you when chopping big batches of vegetables and mincing meats or herbs. We found an excellent model from Japanese producer Toryumon that, unlike most flat-bellied cleavers, has a slightly curved edge similar to a European-style chef’s knife, so American home cooks will find it easier to use. Roughly 7 inches long and 3.5 inches tall, the blade is smaller and more approachable than other models and ideal for those with smaller hands.

This cutting board is not only durable, but it also will prolong the life of your knife blade. The “pull-and-slice” technique is the common way to slice food in Japanese cooking, which can often lead to chipped edges if using a hard cutting board. But this one is coated in layers of soft plastic that provides much better protection for your knives and protection for your fingers, since it’s non-slip. Plus, the material has strong antimicrobial properties—one of the highest standards in Japan—so it won’t hold germs as much as a standard cutting board would between uses. Its wood core keeps the cutting board from warping from use. And since it’s not entirely made of wood, it's much more lightweight to use.

Too many supermarket hoisin sauces come across as cloying—usually candy-sweet with an occasional aftertaste of unpleasant chemical bitterness. Tan Tan’s version of the classic Chinese fermented soybean condiment, however, yields the perfect balance of sweet, earthy and savory notes with an addictive umami core that adds even more depth. An elegant hint of anise floats in and adds aromatic, nuanced complexity, while garlic grounds the sauce without overwhelming its other flavors. It’s texture is satisfyingly syrupy, not too molasses-thick like some brands, and it’s made with no preservatives from a family recipe—the epitome of an elevated pantry essential.

Produced from hand-picked apples, not the low-grade and windfall apples most companies use, and aged in oak barrels for two years before bottling, Little Apple Treats cider is bright and sharp, with a bold apple flavor and subtle caramel tones contributed by the barrel aging. This is the best American apple cider vinegar we’ve tasted, every bit on par with the fancy, expensive French stuff from Normandy.

Grown and made in Jaen, Spain, the country where about half the world’s olive oil is produced, Graza uses 100% picual olives for their “Sizzle” extra virgin olive oil. It’s an EVOO that can stand up to heat, unlike other EVOOs that aren’t meant to be cooked with and only used to finish. The single origin olives in “Sizzle” are harvested by hand in December and January, when they are more mature and juicy. Once pressed, they make an olive oil that is a bit mellower and milder in flavor—though still with a grassy, peppery bite—perfect for everyday cooking. Besides being a flexible oil to use in whatever you’re cooking, we also love that “Sizzle” is packaged in a squeeze bottle, so you can emulate how chefs cook in restaurants. Use “Sizzle” to roast, sear, poach, pan fry, bake, marinate and more.

Koy Pantry’s Tomato Paste is well seasoned, deeply rich and comes in a wide-mouthed jar for easy measuring. Made in Hatay, Türkiye, from local tomatoes harvested at the peak of freshness, the only other ingredient in this savory paste is salt, which is used to break down the produce and turn it into a smooth, spreadable paste that doesn’t run. The resulting flavor is outstanding—slightly acidic, sweet and fruity with a punch of a umami and a hint of salt. The robust tomato flavor makes it the perfect candidate for any range of cuisines or dishes, from pastas and stews to beans and marinades. Plus, because it comes in an easy-to-scoop jar, you’ll be able to spoon out every last bit—and won’t get any of the metallic taste you may find from canned or tubed versions.

We created our sofrito to be the perfect building block to cook a wide variety of recipes in less time, based on the tradition of Italian and Spanish grandmothers who make this by the jar to simplify cooking and boost flavor. After much testing, we came up with an aromatic base of sautéed onions, carrots and celery, complemented by the bright tones of tomatoes, white wine and vinegar. For additional depth, it has earthy, umami notes from mushroom powder, aromatic notes of rosemary and thyme, and just a hint of heat from black pepper and Kashmiri chili powder. A few tablespoons of this jammy sofrito is all it takes to spread rich, concentrated power into soups, sauces, stews, braises and nearly anything else that needs a boost of big flavor.

Similar to red wine vinegar but slightly less sharp, Mutti's Tomato Vinegar has a sweet-savory balance and smooth quality reminiscent of balsamic, with an intense sun-dried tomato aroma. It's not too acidic but rather balanced by caramelized sweetness and an earthy umami depth. This complex vinegar enhances raw tomato recipes and can be used in simple applications. We like to drizzle some on caprese salads or toss it in pasta salad, with feta or goat cheese as a creamy counterpoint.
