Very sturdy. Adjustable. Perfect. I am so happy with this purchase. It keeps all the pot lids and air fryer grills in place - no matter how heavy they are. I love seeing all the pot lids contained.

In my opinion, the perfect minimalist, universal knife block. 

Sleek looking, and helps prolong the sharpness of your knives. Storing them in a drawer will dull them quickly - making cutting more difficult.

I love the look and feel of this knife block.

Yes. Restaurant containers. Easy to stack. Perfect for everyday use and meal planning. I use these daily for liquid and any leftovers.

It's a chef secret hack!

Making 🍱 (Food) Look Awesoooomme!

Good food is about the presentation. My philosophy is taste FIRST, but the ambiance makes memories. I use these all the time when entertaining guests, or just to get the ambiance right.

Gorgeous. Makes your charcuterie boards pop and sparkle! Yes please!

I love the layout and sections of this cheese board. It's like a bento-box for charcuterie.

And cheese and cured meats look awesome on bamboo.  Always!

Salami. prosciutto cotto. Cheese. What is your fav cheese? Right now I'm rocking Portuguese cheeses and Morbier.

OMG. These are so fire! Love the ways these pop and get comments from guests. 

I just love the ways these look on a wood table.

Are these not the best?

These are minimalist and sturdy. Perfect for all uses. I love the look. Think how often you use glasses. 

Why not buy a set you really love?

Do you know how many times you end up looking at your own glassware? I love how these look with any type of liquid.

Great knives. Sharp knives make quick work. Much safer also. I discovered Jamie Oliver knives at a Sobey's promo. 

They are really good quality and nice and sharp. Not flimsy.

Simplest and best way to make great coffee without hassle. Strength is easy to adjust. 

I use 3 scoops, personally. Pour over FTW.

Air fryers are a game-changer. And the ones with the stainless steel basket are the ones you want. 

Buy it well, and you only need to buy it once. Buy the cheapest and you'll have to spend more in the long run.

Excellent low-profile pressure cooker. I prefer the ones without the long handle.

In the Netflix documentary on Neymar, you can see his chef uses one of these. I love to make Brazilian black beans in this.

Cold-press masticating juicer. If you know, you know!

Slow press is the best way to juice for max health benefits and healthy skin.

This is quiet and powerful.

OK, it takes a little longer. But if you drop a chunk of butter in a pan on low while you do this - better than in a movie theatre. And super-cheap.

The kids looooove it on movie night!
