Plastic-Free Kitchen Starter Kits — Build a Safe Cooking Base

Why start with a kit?

When moving into a new home or upgrading your kitchen, it’s tempting to buy cheap plastic-coated sets. But a thoughtful starter kit can last for decades and eliminate microplastics from daily meals.

Core cooking

A Lodge skillet covers frying, searing, and baking. Pair it with a Tramontina stainless set for boiling, sautéing, and sauces.

Storage & prep

Anchor Hocking containers replace plastic tubs with glass and leak-proof lids. A Boardsmith maple board protects knives and avoids plastic fibers.

Everyday utensils

Skip mismatched plastic spoons — grab a wood-and-steel set for stirring, scraping, and ladling.

Build the essentials once, and you’ll avoid the cycle of replacing warped plastic tools every year.
