One of the most common questions we get as BA Shopping editors is how readers can reduce the amount of plastic in their kitchens. They’ve seen scary headlines about microplastics entering their food and bloodstream, and they want to remove themselves from that narrative. Is this you?
The research on the impact plastic cooking tools has on your health is actually pretty murky. But hey, it’s hard to stop thinking about the monster under the bed once you know he’s there… Even if he might be—probably is—imaginary, you may prefer not to take that chance. For Earth Month, we put together a series of stories to help you reduce your reliance on plastic in the kitchen (single-use or otherwise), for all of you in the “better safe than sorry” camp. |

More difficult is choosing a material to commit to. Here, we break down the pros and cons of utensils made from wood, metal, and silicone—and name the best sets we've tried. |
