Stainless steel is known for its shiny look and incredible durability, which makes it a great choice in your kitchen, whether we're talking stainless steel appliances or cookware. But when cleaning cooking residue and grease from pans or polishing off your stainless-steel fridge, it's important you don't reach for the paper towels since they can leave scratches and leftover fibers on the surface of the material.

Plastic water filter jugs have long been a popular option, but growing concerns around plastic waste, convenience and ongoing maintenance are driving interest in alternative solutions. Puure®, a water filtration brand operating in the UK, has developed a stainless steel tap mounted water filter designed to challenge the role of traditional plastic filter jugs. Rather than relying on refilling a jug and replacing plastic components, the system attaches directly to the tap and filters water instantly as it is used.

The sculpture is formed as a continuous spatial loop that frames views and directs movement, producing a sequence of changing visual perspectives. Rather than functioning as an object to be observed from a distance, the installation is designed as an inhabitable structure that supports movement, sitting, and tactile engagement. The spatial configuration allows passers-by to move through and within the form, integrating everyday use into the experience of the artwork and positioning it as part of the public realm rather than a detached sculptural object.

Don't get us wrong, stainless steel cutting boards have their merits. On a maintenance note, they're easy to keep clean, and don't hold onto stains as fiercely as plastic boards. They also don't require regular seasoning, which is a major convenience factor over wooden boards. For aesthetically-minded home cooks, they perpetuate a sleek, contemporary vibe sitting on the countertop. These boards are made from food-grade stainless steel, often 304 steel, the material used in professional restaurants and hospitals.

Inspired by antique copper cookware, which became a favorite among home cooks in the 18th century, this new line from Joanna Gaines' Target collection looks far from modern. Not only are there plenty of copper and brass cookware pieces to choose from (baking dishes, frying pans, and sauce pots), but you can also pick up matching utensils and canisters to complete the look.

At Design Miami's 20th edition, Paris-based architects and designers Berenice Curt and Caroline Duncan introduce the first chapter of Scenarii Édition, a new curatorial line extending their ongoing investigations within Berenice Curt Architecture. Presented in collaboration with The Spaceless Gallery, the debut features two pieces, the Tripodal chair and the Torii table. Both works rely on hand-polished stainless-steel frameworks, setting the stage for material experiments ranging from reclaimed wood to mycelium-grown textiles.

The Bulevina Stainless Steel Sponge Holder is an over-the-sink caddy that slides over your double-sink divider to corral sponges, brushes, and cloths while keeping everything lifted, dry, and organized. It features two roomy compartments and a minimalist stainless steel frame. It measures 3.11 inches deep, 6.77 inches wide, and 3.11 inches tall, and it fits most standard double-sink dividers. It currently retails for $12.99 on Amazon.

After that, I was hooked. Despite having a shelf full of insulated water cups and travel mugs of every shape and size, I still can't resist wandering down the tumbler aisle at my local sporting goods store or T.J. Maxx. Speaking from experience, although it seems like these are items you can buy without a second thought, doing so is a big mistake.

Standert's stainless steel Erdgeschoss gravel bike was already ready for any adventure with big tire clearance, stable geo, all the mounts, dynamo routing, and sliding dropouts - all made from rust-proof material you'll never have to worry about. But now it adds future-proof to the mix, with a new set of UDH-equipped sliding dropouts, and a wider T47 bottom bracket...

Silverware, pitchers, oyster trays, cocktail shakers, Jensen's signature giftbox, and even an elephant piggy bank: All these and more are an unheard of (at least as far as Prime Day goes) 25% off during the massive sale event-many thanks to the e-tailer's partnership with Shopbop, which means many designer labels share real estate with the toilet paper and $12 sheet sets on the pages of the site.

Bridges, which are exposed to water and salt, are some of the most vulnerable. About one third of bridges in the United States need to be repaired or replaced, which could cost nearly $400 billion over the next decade. There are plenty of ways engineers cope with rust, from coating the rebar with epoxy to pouring extra concrete to buy some time before seeping water reaches the rebar.

No matter what level you consider your cooking to be, if you're getting into the kitchen, you've got to get really familiar with holding and using a kitchen knife. But, if you're first starting out, here are some words to the wise: steer clear of carbon steel knives. Despite being extremely popular among professional chefs, there's a good reason why carbon steel knives aren't exactly beginner-friendly.

Stainless steel 1.4542, known for its exceptional strength and moderate corrosion resistance, stands out due to its capability of being heat-treated for varying strength levels without significant distortion.
