Compared to metal and wood, nothing really beats plastic’s slippery yet giving, supple yet firm surface for mixing and measuring. The downside is that after disposal, it will take at least a thousand years for the kitchenware to decompose. Enter Buy at Amazon

This weekend the company that produces plastic-like kitchenware from a combination of bamboo and other renewable sources, put together a ‘Baking Bundle’ for sale at 20% off. At-home and/or in-restaurant chefs can scale up their cooking tools while cutting back on disposable plastic use with Bamboozle’s seven nesting bowls and seven-piece measuring cups and spoon set.

Bamboozle built loyalty during the pandemic by providing an alternative to single-use plastic, and it’s now looking to expand into more homes. While supplying sustainable cookware, the firm looks to have nailed the design as well. The ‘Baking Bundle’ has three color scheme options — a red, orange, blue, green, and gray line reminiscent of earthy, 1970s décor, a purple, blue, and gray combo that brings the bright funk, and a minimalist/industrial gray set.  

To create its cooking and dining ware, the six-year-old company uses Astrik, a 15% bamboo and 85% polylactic acid mix to create dishes, bowls, composter, and other kitchenware. (The plastic-like PLA, mixed in the Midwest, is manufactured with a combination of renewable sources such as corn starch, sugarcane, and/or tapioca.)

Bamboozle constructs many of its products from machines converted from use in the plastics industry. The company claims that only one-fifth of the greenhouse gases are emitted in making its products as compared to its plastic competition. Of course, once Bamboozle wares reach the end of their lifespans, they are biodegradable and don’t end up in toxic oceans and/or as landfill waste that persists for hundreds of years. 

The firm also intends to connect with smaller retailers who vend additional environmentally friendly products. As independent stores re-emerge in a new world, Bamboozle aims to be at the edge of the shift to zero-waste products. Sustainable goods tend to be more expensive than one-off plastics, which is why Bamboozle likes to surprise its base with sales. 

Bamboozle’s 14-piece, non-toxic, plant-based Baking Bundle is on sale through this weekend for $86; www.bamboozlehome.com.

Dairy-Free Milk 101: A Healthy Man’s Guide to Plant-Based Milks
alternative milk

From coconuts to cockroaches, the world of dairy-free milk is vast. These days it's hard to find something we haven't tried to milk. Whether you have dietary reasons, ethical and environmental virtues, or just curious about all the hype surrounding plant-based milk alternatives, there are a plethora of versions on the market to try made from leaves, grains, nuts, and seeds.

In general, plant-based milks have less fat and every other nutritional element than dairy milk. Makes sense, since plant-based milks are predominantly water. The fat they do have, though, is mono-unsaturated (with some exceptions, as you’ll see), the kind that promotes cardiovascular health as well as great skin. They also bring more fiber to the party than dairy milk.  It should go without saying that if you have an allergy to tree nuts, you’ll be limited to just a few of these plant milk options.

Why grilling trout brings back the best summer memories — and tips to do it right
Learn how to make the most delicious summertime meal.
Homemade potatoes and trout fish with herbs and butter

Some of my fondest childhood memories revolve around summer days spent trout fishing with my dad. We’d reel them in, clean them right there in the boat, and then fire up the grill for dinner. These days, that smoky, tender trout remains one of my all-time favorite dishes, and now, one I love to cook with my own kids.
Grilled trout is a total crowd-pleaser because it nails that sweet spot between delicate flavor and just-right texture. The flesh is tender and flaky, with a subtle sweetness and a fresh, clean taste that never feels heavy. When you grill it, you get this amazing smoky char that lifts the fish’s natural richness without taking over. Plus, the skin crisps up perfectly, adding a satisfying crunch that plays beautifully against the soft, flaky meat inside. So if you've been wanting to grill your own fresh catches this summer, it's time to get started. I promise, it's actually much easier than you may think.
