Material’s The Forever Peeler, which is made of stainless steel, is bound to become a staple in your kitchen for more reasons than one. Not only does the innovative U-shape design offer a better grip and more control than a traditional peeler, but the wide shape also makes it a breeze to clean (no more food getting stuck in the blades). With razor-sharp blades that can peel through just about anything, this tool takes the hassle out of food prep. But that’s not all: It’s also surprisingly sustainable.

Long gone are the days where you have to throw out your peeler when the blades get dull. The Forever Peeler’s blades are replaceable (the peeler comes with one replaceable stainless steel blade) so you’ll save money in the long run while helping out the planet. This tool is so durable, it just might be the last peeler you ever buy!

Of course, it’d be remiss of me not to talk about its dashing-good looks. Available in three gorgeous metallic colors, you can coordinate The Forever Peeler with your silverware or other kitchen tools. For the first time, you won’t feel the need to hide away your peeler when you’re done using it — now that’s something I never thought would happen.

I don’t know about you, but I’m already dreaming of the beautiful cucumber, carrot and zucchini ribbons I’ll be making with this sleek peeler all summer long. And with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day right around the corner, it makes for the perfect gift too.

Material’s launches are known to sell out fast, so you’ll want to add this new peeler to your cart before it likely sells out!

Material’s Anniversary Sale Includes the Cutting Boards Our Editors Love

Material’s Anniversary Sale Includes the Cutting Boards Our Editors Love

When our friends at The Kitchn debuted the 2022 edition of Kitchn Essentials earlier this year, it featured several repeat favorites that many of their editors use daily. For instance, there’s Great Jones’s Holy Sheet, the top sheet pan that so many Kitchn staffers have and swear by. And of course, the editor-favorite plastic cutting board, Material’s reBoard. It’s so beloved that some editors (myself included!) even have multiples that we use all.the.time. 

If the rave reviews aren’t enough to get you to click “add to cart,” how’s this for incentive? This must-have tool happens to be discounted right now as part of a sitewide Material sale. Starting today (Mar. 22) until Mar. 24, you can celebrate the brand’s fourth birthday with 20 percent off everything on the site when you use the code HERESTOYOU at checkout. Translation: You can get both the bestselling Material reBoard and the smaller version, the Mini reBoard, for a steal. Trust me, you’ll thank us next time you’re happily chopping, slicing, and mincing.

If you haven’t heard of the reBoard yet, you might be wondering what makes it so special. One of the most obvious perks of this BPA-free plastic cutting board is that it’s made entirely of recycled kitchen plastic and renewable sugarcane (cool, right?). On top of that, Material has fashioned an absolutely gorgeous piece in five attractive colors that will actually make you excited to prep ingredients. 

When Kitchn editors first tested the board, they were drawn to the textured surface that, unlike most plastic cutting boards, resists scratches. Despite the absence of a juice well, the liquid didn’t pour off when they put a juicy roast on the board. Instead, it remained pooled on the board, perfect for reserving and keeping food moist.

I’ve been using the reBoard for a few months now and can confidently say it’s one of my favorite kitchen tools. It’s very sturdy and doesn’t budge when I’m using it, making knife tasks easy whether I’m mincing garlic or cutting a spaghetti squash in half. I also love the large size (it comes in at 14.75″ x 10.75″) that is big enough for all of my meal prep. 

Perhaps my favorite part, though, is that nothing I’m cutting seeps into the surface. I’ve had plenty of plastic cutting boards in the past that seem to absorb juicy tomatoes or soft avocados and become permanently stained. The reBoard is such a great alternative to traditional plastic boards. It’s extremely easy to clean with soap and water — or just pop it in the dishwasher. And the beautiful Coral color I have doesn’t hurt, either!

I also love the Mini reBoard when I’m just working with one ingredient or making a quick meal. It’s the perfect size for small tasks like cutting a lemon or slicing an apple for a snack, and I find myself using it multiple times a day. 

While the Material reBoard is such a great reliable everyday cutting board, we also love that it simply sparks joy in kitchens. If you want to grab one at this great price, make sure you act before the limited-time sale ends! And while you’re at it, check out the rest of the Material sale — some of our other favorites include the silicone spatula we love and the copper core nonstick pan that absolutely nothing sticks to!

When it comes to Material, a small, direct-to-consumer kitchenware company with gorgeous, long-lasting products, there’s no question that we’re in love. Material makes high-quality, stylish tools for cooking and dining, including a super sleek magnetic knife block, all-purpose bowls great for eating or food prep, and a BPA-free, sustainable plastic cutting board we’re mildly obsessed with.

While we’d happily buy up their inventory any time of the year, now is an especially great time to shop Material, as they’re having their third-annual sitewide Kinder Kitchens Sale, taking place from now until November 30. And by sitewide, they really mean it — everything is discounted! We’re talking prepware like the bestselling wooden Angled Board, stainless steel and nonstick cookware, essential kitchen tools like the elegant Soft-Edge Turner, and any other Material favorites you have on your wishlist!

The best part about the sale, however, is that with each purchase, you can also donate to Star Route Farm, this year’s Kinder Kitchens partner. They’re an organic farm that works with food pantries, mutual aid groups, and New York organizations to end food insecurity. No matter what item you buy, you can choose to donate some of your savings directly to Star Route Farm. Plus, Material will be donating half of the proceeds from their limited edition Serving Bowl to the farm as well.

With lots of savings ahead and an opportunity to give back, there are so many reasons to start your holiday shopping with a few of our favorite items from Material!

One of Our Favorite Small Brands Just Released Their Popular Knife Stand in a Customer-Requested Shade

One of Our Favorite Small Brands Just Released Their Popular Knife Stand in a Customer-Requested Shade

It’s no secret that we’re slightly obsessed with direct-to-consumer brand Material. And we’re far from the only ones who can’t get enough of their products, since so many of their items constantly sell out! While we’ve raved about their popular cutting board The reBoard (and the new Angled Board that we also love), as well as their multi-functional silicone spatula The Soft Edge Turner, they also have a cult-favorite knife block, The Stand, that’s not to be missed. Its sleek, minimalist design puts a spin on the traditional style by magnetizing both sides for speedy access. And now, due to high demand from customers, they’ve added a light, new colorway to the line: White Ash.

If you’ve ever been frustrated with your knife block dulling your knives or just looking clunky on your countertops, The Stand is your solution. Its slender structure will work for just about any kitchen size because it won’t occupy too much counter space. Your knives become part of the design as the magnetized sides allow for up to eight to be displayed. And you’ll know exactly what knife you’re reaching for — no more fishing around to find the right blade hidden underneath! Plus, each block is made from sustainably grown and harvested wood, so you know that you’re getting something special and unique.

While The Stand already comes in dark Walnut and Midnight Black finishes, the new shade White Ash is perfect for anyone who has a lighter, airier color scheme in their kitchen. And because its smooth look makes it so easy to clean, you can wipe it down regularly to keep it in pristine condition.

Material also sells a trio of knives to add on so you can be ready for slicing, chopping, dicing, and more when The Stand arrives!

This Super-Popular Cutting Board Is Back in Stock for a Limited Time — Pre-Order It While You Can

This Super-Popular Cutting Board Is Back in Stock for a Limited Time — Pre-Order It While You Can

If you’re a regular AT reader, you know how much we love Material, the direct-to-consumer brand that makes some of our favorite tools for the kitchen. The reBoard cutting board, in particular, is a must-have amongst editors and readers alike, but did you know that The reBoard (and its smaller sibling, The (mini) reBoard) aren’t the only cutting boards on Material‘s lineup? The Angled Board is an elegant upgrade that’s durable enough for the kitchen and sleek enough for the dining room. But unfortunately, like so many of Material’s super-popular products, it’s hard to find it in stock — until now. The Angled Board in Walnut is once again available for pre-order (while supplies last!).

Made from pure walnut wood, the board gets its name from the angled edge that makes it easy to keep all of your slices and dices together without (gasp!) scraping your knife across the surface. The dual-sided board is designed with versatility in mind; the smooth side is perfect for chopping ingredients and serving gorgeous charcuteries and boards, while the grooved side easily catches juices from meats and fruits.

At 17″ long, 12″ wide, and 1″ thick, it’s larger than your average cutting board — in the best way. “Beautifully designed, looks great on our counter,” writes one reviewer. “The surface of the board is hard, allowing the knife to chop cleanly and efficiently. I would recommend.”

Pre-order yours in Walnut now, and it will ship out in five to seven weeks. That gives you plenty of time to plan all of the ways to use it during holiday gatherings — and as holiday gifts. “This is such a beautiful board,” another reviewer recalls. “I got it as a gift for my friends and they are obsessed with it. The sturdiness and the sharp angle make it look really cool.”

If you can’t wait for Walnut — or prefer a darker hue — The Angled Board also comes in Carbon, which is made from white oak that’s been ebonized (naturally stained with long-lasting, food-safe dye). Both colors are made from FSC-certified, sustainably harvested wood grown in the USA. Carbon is available for shipping ASAP, and both include The Wood Oil to lengthen their lifespan.

Ready to add The Angled Board to your cart? Don’t wait too long. “I was on the waiting list for The Angled Board for a while, so when I was finally able to purchase one, I jumped on the chance and I was not disappointed,” recalls one reviewer. “The angle not only looks cool, but provides an easy way to transfer your cut items to another container. The size is great, giving you way more space to work with than most standard cutting boards. And then the looks … I can’t wait to have people over again so I can use this as a serving board as well.” Happy hosting!
