January is about organization, so we're highlighting products that are unique examples of compartmentalization to bring order to the kitchen.

January is the month most often associated with the pursuit of organization, be it in our homes or our new year intentions. With my current focus on family health, meal planning, zero-waste, and the tidiness of my refrigerator, I found it fitting to highlight three products that are all examples of compartmentalization, and the universal and timeless urge to bring order to your kitchen.

First on the list is Lea Lorenz?s TONY®, a contemporary reinterpretation of the clay jug cooling concept, leveraging evaporative cooling techniques to keep food “refrigerated” without electricity. TONY® \ Photo: Courtesy of Lea Lorenz
The individual clay coolers are available in three different stackable sizes, each consisting of a water tank, a food container, and a lid. This means that each clay cooler works separately.

The porous raku-clay absorbs water from the tank, and as it evaporates on the container walls, it cools the interior to an optimal 13°C to 17°C. This creates ideal storage conditions for fruits, vegetables, and baked goods. It is precisely these foods that make up the majority of avoidable food waste.
