Metamorphic Gear: Earth-Minded Upcycling
Sustainable and upcycle are trendy marketing terms, but not many companies take those ideas as seriously as Seattle’s Metamorphic Gear.
Cooking in my house is a family activity. We’re privileged to be able to start and end almost every day with a home cooked family meal. Nearly all of those meals are made with Earlywood Designs Trifecta utensils.
Montana based Earlywood Designs makes heirloom quality handcrafted wooden utensils and kitchen tools. Each product has a unique and practical design and holds up to our daily meals on the stove, campfire, and the grill.
The long handle and rounded edges offer plenty of reach over hot burners and it feels good in the hand. The rounded edges are perfect for scraping off bits of deliciousness around the edges of a pan. My daughter calls this the “spatula” because it’s big enough to be used that way. The sauté is our do it all – we flip, stir, mash, and anything else you can think of.
Earlywood advertises the spreader for smearing peanut butter and soft cheeses, but we use it for one task throughout the week – scrambled eggs. Using a wooden utensil means our non-stick pan doesn’t scratch. The rounded edges and short handle are perfect for making our family’s secret scrambled eggs. I can’t give you that secret recipe but I will tell you that in our house it’s known as the “Daddy special.”
At least 50% of our meals are cooked in cast iron and I baby our pans. I never use soap and I religiously season them. Still, even the most seasoned cast iron will leave behind a few bits of food. The scraper’s sharp edge helps keep our pans clean and ready for the next meal. It’s also a handy brownie cutter, which is something every kitchen needs.
We have some amazing stories that we’re excited to share with you. We’ll never share your contact information outside of Wild Human. You can expect roughly a few emails per month.

Calling this drink hot chocolate feels like an understatement. But, Hot Cacao is fitting for a drink that combines high-quality ingredients, a healthy approach, and chocolatey goodness.
