Sustainable Swaps: Ditching Plastic Kitchen Tools
Swapping plastic kitchen tools for more sustainable alternatives is easier than you think. Durable and aesthetically pleasing options like wood, bamboo, stainless steel, and silicone offer comparable functionality while reducing plastic waste. Wooden spoons and spatulas are classic choices, while bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable resource. Stainless steel whisks, peelers, and measuring cups provide longevity, and silicone offers heat resistance for spatulas and baking mats. Consider the tool's primary use and choose the material that best suits it, gradually replacing your plastic items as they wear out.
