Lily Alig is a junior reporter on Insider's Reviews team, covering all things kitchenware. She joined Insider as an editorial fellow in August 2020 and converted to a full time reporting role in March of 2021. She holds a bachelor's degree from Kenyon College in English and Women's and Gender Studies.
Lily is an avid home cook and baker, so she knows what consumers are looking for in kitchenware products. In her work with the home and kitchen team, Lily has spoken with independent spice houses and professional chefs, as well as tested products by baking multiple cakes in a day and grinding a pound of cumin. Her goal as a reporter is to learn as much as possible and to demystify kitchenware for her readers.
After the work day, Lily relaxes by listening to a sports podcast and trying to perfect her meringue recipe. Previously, she worked as a tutor for all ages in the humanities and as a freelance editor and writer for local New York publications.
Or perhaps encouraging consumerism when we should actually be repairing broken goods & passing on/buying second hand?
