Several months ago, the Strategist had a week of stories on the site dedicated to turning your kitchen plastic free. It’s a worthy but (depending on how much you’re inclined to swap out at once) expensive endeavor. So I thought it would a nice idea to pull a good handful of the best plastic-free products that my colleagues and I researched and tested during that time that just so happen to be on sale for Black Friday. I scrolled through all those pieces, and unfortunately, not everything was marked down (none of my favorite ceramic nonstick skillets are on sale) — but there are quite a few notable items at notable discounts below.

Caraway makes a ton of plastic-free kitchenware, but I’m most into its glass food-storage containers with airtight lids. I use several in my pantry to hold ingredients like rice and grains and flour and keep a couple of the smaller ones in a cabinet to store leftovers in the fridge.

Material Kitchen’s MK Free Board is only 15 percent off, but I included it because it’s one of a kind: It looks and feels like plastic, but it’s made completely from plant-based materials. I wrote a longer review of it when it first came out, but just know: If you love the brand’s reBoard but want to do away with the microplastics, you’ll love this.

Or just buy a wooden one. This from Teakhaus is an ideal size and thickness, has a deep moat, and is 50 percent off.

Hedley & Bennett makes great cooking utensils all around, and you can find a bunch more on its site for 20 percent off, too. But this spatula of well-constructed, comfortable-to-hold silicone is a standout. I use it daily in my own kitchen. If you’re looking for even more items (wooden spoons, turners, tongs, and the like, head here).

Brewing coffee in a fully plastic-free electric machine is nearly impossible, but my colleague senior writer Michael Zhao likes this pour-over set as an alternative. “The tall, narrow shape ensures that any water poured into the top makes its way through more of the coffee as it drips downward,” he says.

A French press works great, too — especially when double-walled so your coffee will stay hotter for longer.

Strategist deputy editor Simone Kitchens is obsessed with her ceramic nonstick waffle-maker from GreenPan, which she uses weekly.

Blueland makes a lot of ecofriendly, plastic-free cleaning supplies. Its dish tabs are made from naturally derived enzymes, and Strategist contributor Kiki Aranita, who has been using them for quite a while, says everything comes out of her dishwasher reliably grime free and shiny.
