Food52’s in-house brand of kitchen goods and housewares, Five Two, continues to make innovative products that are better for you.

They’re grey — to hide stains — and tags include tare weights so you aren’t paying extra at checkout.

Set the specifics into the drill, and it’ll ensure you get the hole you You can only drill a hole once, so you better make damn sure that hole is good.

Award-winning designer George Sowden continues his tenure with Hay with a new electric kettle. It’s sleek and minimalistic, but in true Hay fashion comes in bold, eye-popping colors.

And another one! The Sowden Toaster features a single extra-wide slot, perfect for those wide slices of sourdough bread. It’s a bright sight to see when you’re waiting for your morning toast to pop up.
