11 Kitchen & Home Favorites Our Community Gives 5 Stars

It's no secret that our Shop here at Food52 is carefully curated. Our talented buying team spends countless hours researching, testing, and trying a plethora of home and kitchen products to find the goods our community members will love. We aim to build an assortment that feels thoughtfully selected—one that speaks to the community's needs, opinions, and interests.

Since we opened shop in 2009, hundreds of items have filled our digital shelves. Some have stayed only for a short stint—limited-edition releases and seasonal goods—while others carved their way into your hearts (and homes). With a recent drop of new arrivals, we started wondering: Out of all of the products we've sold over the years, which ones are top-rated by our community?

Well, we've got answers! We went through all 500 of our products that hold a five-star rating average and narrowed it down to 11 of our favorites. Keep reading to see if any of your top choices made the list.

Made from bamboo and melamine, this serving tray is sleek, simple, and sturdy. Whether it's holding a breakfast-in-bed spread or glasses at happy hour, this tray's got you covered.

2. FinaMill Spice Grinder, $45

This automatic spice grinder is a must-have for any cook who loves seasonings. Just fill the removable, interchangeable spice pod, fill it with your whole spice of choice, snap the pod back in, and press the button on the top of the handle. You can keep it simple with peppercorns or create your own spice blend.

3. Hand Block Printed Napkins, $60

These handmade cloth napkins are not only fair-trade and eco-friendly (goodbye single-use napkins!), but they also feature beautiful designs made by artisans in India. If you've been looking for a new addition to your table linen collection, these just might be it.

4. GIR Flip Silicone Spatula, $24

You should never underestimate the power of a good spatula. This silicone, nonstick one from GIR features a beveled edge that makes flipping delicate things like eggs and pancakes a breeze, plus a fiberglass core that helps support heftier flips, too.

5. IVV Italian Retro Goblets, $68

Handmade by Italian glassmakers, these eye-catching goblets are a beautiful addition to any glassware collection. Fill them with summery cocktails, fresh lemonade, or even a few scoops of your favorite ice cream.

6. Bamboozle Bamboo Compost Bin, $40

If you've never composted before, getting things started can feel like a feat. This small compost bin is a tool that'll keep the process tidy, compact, and easy. It features a replaceable charcoal filter in the lid that helps absorbs odors and is dishwasher-safe for when it needs a thorough clean. It's made from biodegradable bamboo fiber, meaning it'll also last for ages. Looking for a little additional guidance? Check out our at-home composting guide for a comprehensive how-to.

7. Five Two Over-the-Sink Dish Drying Rack, $45 $24.99+

We've been raving about this best-selling, multi-purpose drying rack all year for good reason: It helps keep your kitchen sink (and counter) tidy and can also be used as a trivet, cooling rack, and colander. It's no surprise it meets the five-star standard.

8. Collapsible Storage Bins, $90+

If you're still finishing up some spring cleaning, these under-bed storage bins can help. Fill them with sweaters you won't need again until fall, extra bedding, or seasonal accessories like scarves, hats, and gloves. Your home will feel spick and span in no time.

9. Everyday Silicone Ice Cube Trays with Lid, $48+

Don't struggle to pop cubes out of an old, plastic ice tray ever again. Each of these silicone trays makes 12 (1.25-inch) ice cubes that are ready to fill any glass. The cherry on top? The lid keeps everything under wraps and helps to prevent other freezer smells from hitting your ice. You can sip your favorite drinks knowing unwanted flavors won't sneak their way in.

10. Five Two 2-in-1 Spoon, $29 $21.75

A good wooden spoon feels like a staple for any frequent cook. But what exactly makes one, well, "good"? We think it's one that can do a little of everything. This two-in-one spoon has one side for mixing and stirring, with a mini spoon on the other end to help with taste-tasting and measuring (it doles out a tablespoon-ish).

11. Onyx Kitchen Food Storage Clips, $24

We've all been there: You reach into your pantry, pull out the bag of chips you've been wanting to snack from, and are hit with the sad reality that they're stale. These storage clips are a simple solution. And with 24 included in the set, you'll have plenty to keep your pantry staples fresh and sealed.
