Win This: Man-Approved Concrete Kitchen Products
You did it: You’re finally out of that post-dorm bachelor’s studio you called home for those few years after college, when working temp jobs and partying like you’re 19 was an acceptable career choice.

We’re celebrating your life achievements by giving you the chance to win these classy and subtle kitchen accessories from the good folks at Culinarium. They make concrete kitchen products as stylish as they are understated, and best of all, they don’t scream “my girlfriend got me these at Bed Bath and Beyond.” If you’re man enough to use a coaster in the first place, make it a man’s coaster, you know?
Here’s what you’ll win:
Two concrete drink coasters, as pictured above, embossed with the Latitude and Longitude coordinates of the Playboy Mansion.
This white concrete salt cellar:
And two white concrete salt and pepper shakers.
Deck out your dinner table with concrete and retain your masculinity, courtesy of your friends here at TSJ and Culinarium. It’s the least we can do to help you finally get a girlfriend. And be sure to check out Culinarium’s sister site, Port Living Co., for more kitchen awesomeness.
To win, leave a comment below about the one thing in your kitchen you can’t live without. That indispensable bottle of Sriracha in the fridge? Those CutCo knives you thought were a scam until they changed your life? The funniest and most unique entry wins everything outlined above.

The most indispensible part of any kitchen, at least for me, is a first aid kit. I’m not a very good cook. You aren’t doing it right, if you don’t end up in the ER.

The most indispensable part of my kitchen is the bottle opener. Or two of them, actually. The Coke one on the wall that I use to open Guinness bottles and the Guinness one on the fridge that I use to open Coke bottles.

I can not live without my iPad in the kitchen. I get to view recipes directly off the iPad. In addition, it provides entertainment when I wait for something to cook.

It would have to be my coffee maker because my world don’t start until the coffee pot is finished !!!!

The most indispensable thing in my kitchen is my girlfriend. She naturally has really small feet, so she can stand good and close to the counter to do the dishes, and not spill! This saves time too, since she cleans the kitchen as well, and those vital minutes can be put to better use via bringing me a Bass ale and preparing my steak. Since I already have concrete floors in my kitchen, this set of concrete gagetry (that is a technical term) would fit wonderfully. With the addition of this set, and if I could just get my girl to wear white to match the rest of the appliances, I’d have the perfect kitchen!

I don’t know if I could decide on any one appliance or accessory, but at this point and mostly because it’s gone would be the 13×9 pyrex dish, that I managed to blow up. . . this is just one of the many items that used to be in my kitchen that wound up in many pieces either on the floor, or on the stove. . . . needless to say I’ve learned good lessons about getting durable over aesthetic, but the pyrex one was by far the most functional of them

I always loved my German knives. However, after reading Tony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential I had to have a handmade Japanese Chefs knife. I finally got one and it is worth it. Amazing and beautiful.
I guess the other thing is my custom made dining room table with a concrete top.

My senses! I use them while I’m cooking, deciding if the milk is bad, checking to see if I’m burning something, trying to figure out where ‘that bad smell’ is coming from, you get the picture. They can’t be beat.

in the kitchen, i cannot live without my trusty laptop + speakers. a good soundtrack is crucial to a proper cooking experience… and some pretty sick dance moves.

My dog, Zippo. He is a Lab/Mastif mix. If Zippo was not part of my life I would have to buy many additional items, including, but not limited to, a dishwasher, a mop, broom, hand towels…you get the picture.
