  • Knork Flatware, Impossibly Clever

    Knork Flatware, Impossibly Clever

    We at Knork have been making unique, patented, ergonomic, and smart stainless steel utensils for customers for years.  Knork’s superpower is a unique, built-in cutting ability!   Innovative creativity can come from anywhere. And that is what happened the day Mike Miller went to a pizzeria with friends and struggled to eat pizza with a normal fork while trying to impress the ladies joining them for dinner. He then noticed an employee using an old fashioned rocker pizza slicer, imaged how that functionality could exist on his fork, and the rest is flatware history.  A few years back we contacted @bamboozlehomewares...

  • Astrik. It's Like Plastic, But Plants?

    Astrik. It's Like Plastic, But Plants?

    Seven years ago, we had hoped to find the perfect material. Something that was inexpensive, sustainable, biodegradable. It also had to be easy to care for since if it did not fit into our lives we would rarely use it. As it turns out everything hinges on that last difficult requirement.   Wood can be harvested sustainably, and it is biodegradable but requires lots of care. Plastic can be thrown in the dishwasher or microwave, but it’s made from oil that pollutes the environment for millennia. We even found some wonderful people were working on high tech alternatives, they were all too...

    The Behind the Scenes of The Prep 'N Serve Set

    This year at Bamboozle we want to show off all the cool things we do and all the amazing people we work with! So keep an eye out for more guest bloggers like Elizabeth Karmel, who is the Original Grill Girl, as well as co-creator of the Prep 'N Serve Set. She's taking us behind the scenes of how this product came to life!   I’m so excited to be collaborating with Bamboozle. Long before the Prep ‘n Serve kit appeared on the Bamboozlehome.com website, Avi, Steve and I started working together—in fact, it was 2020.  The journey of product...

  • A Compost Change is Coming to California

    A Compost Change is Coming to California

    I’m sure we all have some type of goal to at least be a little more sustainable in 2022. California has a pretty large goal starting January 1st. A new state law will require all food scraps and organic material to be placed in green waste bins that will be sent to composting facilities rather than thrown into landfills. Laws like this a reminder about the role food waste plays in damaging the environment across the United States, where up to 40% of food is wasted, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While other nations like France have similar...

  • Introducing our new Prep 'n Serve Tray Set

    Introducing our new Prep 'n Serve Tray Set

    If you are like us, you love food and you love cooking. And you love to feed people. Bamboozle has teamed up with Elizabeth Karmel to create the most sustainable, efficient, and likely the most functional cooking tool out there.  One of the biggest workhorses in the kitchen is the sheet pan, a.k.a. sheet tray, or the half pan/half tray to be exact. Chefs and home cooks alike use it to prep in the kitchen as well as transport food to and from the grill. But face it, it’s not the best-looking serving piece and doesn’t come with bowls that...
