MGS manufactures announced in their line the ANTARES kitchen faucet. ANTARES is a solid stainless steel faucet and this makes it completely lead free.
As everyone takes steps to create an eco-friendly healthier kitchen they often forget how important choosing the right faucet is. The most common problem with brass or chrome-plated brass faucets is that they can leach significant amounts of lead into the water, especially hot water. Featuring a single lever mixer, a pull-out dual spray and a rotating body, the ANTARES kitchen faucet is available in a matching steel or black finish. MGS manufactures all of its products out of 100% non-toxic and naturally hygienic solid stainless steel, no sheet metal or brass is ever used

I’m not a big coffee drinker, but I do like hot chocolate. The Gevalia Stir Mug was probably designed for cases when you can’t find a teaspoon, but it works for lazy people too. You need to put all your ingredients in, add water, push a button and presto! your beverage is gently stirred while you can just go on working. The cup is insulated, which makes it perfect for the office, and it comes with a sipper lid. The Gevalia Stir Mug takes two AA batteries and sells for $19, or get two for $33.

Choosing appropriate faucets for your kitchen sink is as important as choosing the shape and size of the bowl. Faucets come in all shapes and sizes. Avoid a tiny faucet on a big, bold sink, and vice-versa. Be sure that the faucet you have chosen directs water into the center of the bowl. Also, make sure your new faucet matches the correct hole drillings in your sink.This astonishing kitchen fixture has a sculptural and artistic edge: the Kohler Karbon Articulating Kitchen Faucet. The angular, linear aspect of the Karbon is sure to be as appreciated for its futuristic good looks as for its fantastic functionality. Clever engineering means that the faucet can hold any pose – it’s great for filling large pots, pulling down into the sink to prepare food, and tucking away out of the way when it’s not in use. What’s more, it’s designed to be used hands-free. With a modern, textured user-friendly surface, this faucet is finished in gleaming polished chrome.

The Evo Grill will set you back $3150, so this grill is not for everyone. We like the the circular, flat-top and open design.  The wide, flameless cooktop and precise heating controls can handle everything from crêpes, pancakes and flatbreads to blackened seafood, stir-fried vegetables or a whole, seared butterflied turkey. You can also use this heavy-duty appliance with cookware for boiling and poaching – or attach the hood to create an outdoor oven for baking and roasting. The easy-to-clean cooking surface is heated from below, using a patented dual burner system that provides individually controlled inner and outer heat zones, each with a temperature range of 225°F to 670°F. The two burners can be controlled separately to simultaneously prepare different foods or combined to provide uniform heat across the entire 30″ diam. cooking surface.

Hansen kitchens are eco-friendly options: all wood used is FSC certified from Danish Hardwood, and have natural oil and soap finishes. This leaves you free to simply make decisions based on aesthetics – do you prefer oak, walnut or ash? And will you choose from Series 100 kitchens (a classic design with tenon-ed joints and semi-circular cut-out handles), or Series 200 kitchens (inspired by Japanese minimalist style and available in materials other then wood)? If you can’t decide, not to worry, the two combine well - elements from each can harmoniously make up your kitchen.
