Self-Cleaning Water Pitcher

$88

Expand product description

Like LARQ’s water bottles, the brand’s new pitcher self-cleans, but this product also provides multi-stage water-purification—a first within a vessel of this kind. Unlike other filtrating pitchers, this one removes bio-contaminants at the molecular level—that means no bacteria, mold or viruses, thanks to the PureVis™ UV-C purification. It also eliminates lead, mercury, chlorine and volatile organic compounds all while retaining beneficial minerals. Available for pre-order on Kickstarter now, the 1.9-liter capacity pitcher will ship with one filter (which can withstand 60 gallons of filtration) or customers can select larger quantities at other purchase levels.

Four-Piece, Ceramic-Coated Cookware Set

$395

Expand product description

The ceramic-coated, four-piece cookware set from Caraway inspires distinct confidence in home cooks. The non-stick surface—which is Teflon-free—proves perfectly slippery when cooking all kinds of dishes, and distributes heat evenly. Safe for all types of stovetops and ovens up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, they’re entirely void of all toxins, including PFOA, PTFE, PFAs, lead, cadmium and nickel. Each sturdy, substantial product appeals visually thanks to a subtle but glossy finish in navy, sage, gray, cream or the signature “perracotta” (a salmony blend of pink and terra cotta). Including a large Dutch oven, sauce pan, sauté pan and frying pan (the latter two being satisfyingly deep), it’s an ideal starter—or replacement—set, and the kind of equipment that beckons rookies and experienced cooks into the kitchen.
