Kitchen Essentials made in the USA

The little things matter, especially when entertaining family and friends.  Everyone wants to help in the kitchen, has their own way of doing things, or brings a dish that needs just a little something to finish it off.  It's good to have those details taken care of before everyone arrives. This list includes those items in the kitchen that are missed when there aren't any or when there aren't enough of them.

Coasters

AE Millwork End Grain Wood Coaster

With the number of drinks that are served during the holidays, you just can't have enough coasters!  AE Millwork handcrafts this luxurious coaster set of pure organic walnut and maple wood.  Each coaster measures 3.5"x3.5"x0.5".  Add this made in the USA attraction to any room or give as a gift to enhance someone else's space.

Magnetic Knife Holder

Spoon Rest

Andover Pottery Spoon Rest in Amber and Sage Glaze

Let's face it!  When there are several chefs in the kitchen, those spoons need to go somewhere while the cooking and serving processes continue.  Sheila from Andover Pottery handcrafts each piece of pottery offered on the website in her pottery studio in Andover, Massachusetts.

Reusable Food Wrap

Bee's Wrap Reusable Food Wraps

At the end of the night, you're tired and sometimes do not want to find storage containers or lids or transfer food.  These food wraps can be used to cover the dish or wrap the food and put away.  The heat from your hand creates a seal around the food you're wrapping.  The seal remains even after it cools.  To clean it, rinse it in cool water with mild soap, air dry and time to reuse!

Can Opener (manual)

Ohsay Can Opener

Isn't it the law of someone that when you are in the throes of putting together a memorable celebration something breaks?!  This carbon steel can opener is made in Missouri by Veterans.  The crank has extra torque and the handle is rubberized.  All put together, a manual can opener isn't sexy, but it is created to be comfortable and practical, and by veterans, no less.  

Fun fact: This is the only manual can opener made in the USA.

Conclusion

Finding the perfect kitchen essentials made in the USA may pose a challenge, but with challenge comes change.  

Always remember: Nobody loves you and your business more than the people behind the made in the USA name!
