Go Green in the Kitchen with Chefs Catalog

Go Green in the Kitchen, this spring! It's the small changes you make that can make a big

difference. In the kitchen you can:

Store your food in glass, stainless steel or lead-free ceramic ware. Plastic containers can leach dioxins and phthalates into the food. CHEFS carries glass storage containers for refrigerator or countertop storage.

Compost your kitchen vegetable leftovers (no meats) and use them as fertilizer, too. Recycle glass, cans, and paper whenever possible. CHEFS 1-Gallon Stainless Steel Compost Container and Pull-Out Trash Can and Recycler, make composting and recycling easy.

Portion your own food that you buy in bulk. This saves you cost, and cuts down on packing materials and waste. Check out CHEFS Frisper and Foodsaver to reseal bags and save freshness and money.

Go unplugged. Use kitchen tools that don't require electricity, like a mandoline instead of a food processor or a carving knife instead of an electric knife. Visit's CHEFS Kitchen Tools and Cutlery to find mandolins and kitchen knives.

Use products made of sustainable products like cork and bamboo, or recycled old wood or scrap wood. Concrete counters are chic and take the polymers out of play; recycled stone chips also are being used for durable counter tops. Check out CHEFS bamboo cooking utensils, cutting boards, and placemats.
