Built for everyday family life.
The same safety promise. Always.
You've got enough on your plate (pun intended). Essentials is made from food-safe stainless steel with zero BPA, phthalates, or lead—so you can focus on getting food into tiny mouths, not what the food is touching.
Why families are ditching plastic.
Plastic scratches, absorbs odors, and can leach harmful chemicals—especially when heated. Stainless steel doesn't. It's that simple. Essentials gives your family a safer surface for every bite.
Designed for real life.
Clean lines. Rolled edges. Mirror-polish shine. Essentials is intentionally pared back—timeless shapes that work for every meal and every family. Built to be your everyday go-to.
