Cotton Dish Cloths

At the heart of every homestead is the kitchen.  At our homestead, the kitchen is the most utilized room of the house.  It seems we are always baking, preserving, canning, or cooking something.  Like many homesteaders, we are very conservative with disposable products like paper towels.   That is why we choose to use items we can wash and reuse like these cotton dish cloths.  

Call me “old fashioned”, but I still prefer cotton dish cloths to the new microfibers.  I just like the feel of them and their ability to clean surfaces.  

You can never have enough dish cloths or dish towels.  I will share a secret.  I also use dish cloths and towels to wrap my empty canning jars in totes to store for the next canning season.  They keep the jars chip free, and I like the fact that I don’t waste paper or plastic packing material.

Cast Iron Loaf Pan

This is our favorite loaf pan.  It is cast iron and made by Lodge.  Made in USA.  We make meat loaf and bread in it regularly.  You can also put it inside of a cast iron tripod Dutch oven to make bread on an open fire.  

If you have never baked with cast iron, you are missing out.  We love the even heat retention.  Bread bakes evenly and comes out of the pan beautifully.  This is a piece you will have for many years.  Ours is well over a decade old and still in perfect condition.  Highly recommended.

Reusable Popsicle Sticks

These are the reusable popsicle sticks we use with the silicone popsicle mold!  We like products that can be washed and reused because we try to reduce our imprint on the earth by having as little trash as possible.

These wash up easily and are a small storage item.
