Kangovou Steels the Show at Mealtime

By Stephanie Hanlon

It takes a parent of steel to face a mountain of plastic kids’ dishware and address the environmental and health risks from PVC, BPA and melamine in plastics. Pretty Govindji has three boys and wanted them to be healthy, so she began to educate herself on pesticides and chemicals and the role they play in the food supply chain. The bottom line: What she served her children’s food on was just as important as the food itself. Govindji enlisted her friend and fellow mom, Tess Brennan, and together they set about ridding their cabinets of the plastic plates, cups and bowls collected over the years. They made it their mission to create versatile kids’ dishware products made of high-quality food-grade stainless steel — Kangovou.

The stainless steel Kids Dishware Set is thoughtfully designed to include: a divided plate including spots for condiments; flat plate; cereal bowl; snack bowl (a smaller version of the cereal bowl); drinking cup with a pop-up drinking straw and snap-on leak-proof lid; a mixer for adding powder to drinks; and protective jackets. The jackets are made from BPA-, PVC- and phthalate-free plastic and prevent the transfer of heat, cold and condensation. The removable outer jackets help keep little hands safe, and that’s important to all of us! The set also comes with snap-on lids for the plates and bowls — perfect for keeping the car clean during travel.

Stainless steel is not only healthier, but is also easier to wash and more durable than the plastic products in the dollar bins. Kangovou dishware sets are ideal for everyday use and, best of all, are top rack dishwasher safe. Stain and rust resistant, Kangovou makes a great investment for all feeding stages; perfect for purees at the infant stage, and for soup and salads as they grow. Sets are available in modern colors like Frosted Blueberry, Iced Mint, Lemon Zest and Peaches and Cream. These products are free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead and melamine, as well as being ethically manufactured and reasonably priced.
