Wireless Probe Thermometer with Remote No more waiting by the oven to monitor cooking progress. Pinzon's wireless thermometer alerts you when food has reached your preset temperature — even if you're in another room or outside. The thermometer features a digital LCD screen and remote wireless probe. The 4-by-3-1/2-inch thermometer has a range from zero to 392 degrees F (also displays Celsius) and a 7½-inch probe, so you can test even the thickest part of a large turkey for doneness. A magnet, belt clip, and small table stand make it easy to keep the 3½-by-3-inch remote nearby. An audio alert signals when the food has reached the desired temperature. The thermometer and the remote each require two AA batteries. This set should be washed by hand.

Pinzon Stainless-Steel Tool Set with Canister Holder

8-Piece Stainless-Steel Tool Set with Canister HolderMade of 18/8 stainless steel so they retain their beautiful mirror-finish for years, the seven large, sturdy tools in this Pinzon set furnish a kitchen for essential tasks. The 8-piece set includes a slotted turner, meat fork, slotted spoon, spoon, soup ladle, skimmer, spaghetti fork, and matching storage crock. Each tool has a loop set into the end for easy hanging and storage. The stain- and rust-resistant tools are easy to clean and maintain — just wash them in the dishwasher.

Each utensil is sized for utility and makes for a nice addition to any busy kitchen: The slotted turner measures 13-3/8 by 3 by ¾ inches; the meat fork measures 13 by 1-1/8 by 1¼ inches; the slotted spoon measures 13¼ by 2¾ by 1-5/8 inches; the spoon measures 13¼ by 2¾ by 1-5/8 inches; the soup ladle measures 12½ by 3-5/8 by 3 inches; the skimmer measures 13¾ by 4-1/8 by 2¼ inches; the spaghetti fork measures 12½ by 2¾ by 2 inches. All of the tools measure approximately 2 millimeters thick. The double-wall canister is 7 inches high 4¾-inches in diameter.

8-Piece Silicon Spatula Set with Stainless-Steel Canister HolderThis fabulous set makes a great gift for a cook just realizing the benefits of silicone. A flexible, heat-resistant, colorfully-tinted material, silicone makes the perfect spatula head-it bends smoothly to scoop batter out of bowls, it can scramble eggs in a nonstick frying pan, and it can baste hot roasts. Best of all, silicone utensils go right into the dishwasher for easy cleanup.

This set from Pinzon includes seven utensils: a large spatula, two medium spatulas, two small scrapers, a large spoon-shaped spatula, and a basting brush. The heads are silicone, while the long, smooth handles are hollow stainless steel with hanging holes on the ends. If not hung, the utensils look attractive stored in the brushed stainless-steel, double-walled canister included with the set. The silicone heads on these items are heat resistant to between 428°F and 480°F.

The set comprises a slotted turner with a 4-by-3-inch head, a solid serving spoon, slotted serving spoon, spatula with silicone head, and a basting brush with a silicone head and bristles. The solid spoon, slotted spoon, and slotted turner all feature a red silicone tip. Each tool measures 12½ inches long and has a large hanging loop. Five silicone grips on each handle provide slip-resistance when wet. The tools are heat-resistant to 425°F and, because of their silicone accents, are safe for use with nonstick cookware. The entire set is dishwasher-safe.

5-Piece Nylon Kitchen Tool SetAll of the tools in this set are made of attractive and sturdy stainless steel with black nylon heads. The set comprises a slotted turner with a 4-by-3-inch head, a solid serving spoon, slotted serving spoon, slotted pasta server, and ladle.

Pinzon Salad Spinner

Salad SpinnerThis salad spinner makes washing and drying leafy vegetables a snap. Simply add your lettuce, spinach, or herbs to the colander basket, run under water, place the colander in the bowl, and spin. The nonslip, cushioned knob rotates smoothly to make short work of putting together a salad. This spinner is even gentle enough to dry fresh berries. When the job is done, the colander and plastic bowl can be taken apart and used separately. A storage lid is included. This spinner measures 10¾ inches across and 9 inches high, and can be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher.

Bamboo Two-Tiered Lazy SusanThis attractive two-tiered lazy Susan swivels smoothly, making it easy to use in the kitchen or at the table. The two tiers work well together — with the smaller 10-inch tray on top of the larger 14-inch tray — or separately. Try one at the stove to hold sauces, syrups, and utensils, and one at the table to serve appetizers or share dishes and condiments. The two tiers are crafted from bamboo, a member of the grass family. Bamboo is structurally harder than maple, so the set doesn't require the care of typical wood products. The hard surface also means fewer nicks. Each piece of this lazy Susan features a food-safe lacquer finish and a lip to keep food in place. To preserve the luster of the set, it should be washed by hand.

Pinzon Marble Cheese Board Gift Set

4-Piece Marble Cheese Board Gift SetExceptional design makes this cheese set a delicious accoutrement to any party. The set includes a 4-inch angled cheese knife, 4½-inch curved cheese knife, 3½-inch cheese plane, and a 12-inch round marble board for cutting or serving. The knives in this set are constructed of high-carbon, stainless-steel and have been stamped to create sharp edges. Half tangs extend to the aluminum handles, which feature an antiqued bronze finish. While the 3½-inch knife is a multi-purpose knife for most cheeses, the 4-inch angled knife is precisely made to slice and serve medium-hard cheeses, The blade on each of these knives is angled up to a prong tip for spearing and serving a slice. The 3½-inch cheese plane is perfect for cutting and serving medium to hard cheeses. It is designed to shave off even, consistent slices of cheeses such as cheddar and Swiss. The 12-inch round, marble board makes an elegant display on a buffet or at a wine party. It features an aluminum handle with a bronze finish. This set should be washed by hand.

Pinzon Rectangular Bamboo Cutting Board This two-toned rectangular bamboo cutting board from Pinzon offers much more than a typical wood board. Perfectly natural, bamboo is a renewable resource. It's a newer material for western kitchens but among the oldest in the world. A member of the grass family, bamboo is structurally harder than maple so this board doesn't require the care of other wood boards. The sleek board measures approximately 12 by 8 inches and is lightweight, so it easily doubles as a small serving tray. A hard surface means fewer nicks and fewer slices that harbor bacteria. Measuring 1.2 inches high, the board rests on four small, round feet. To preserve the beauty of this Pinzon cutting board, hand washing is recommended.

Pinzon Stainless-Steel Mandoline

Stainless-Steel MandolineThis mandoline produces uniform, precise cuts of vegetable and fruit. Constructed of attractive and durable 18/8 stainless steel, this tool offers a variety of cuts with four versatile blade attachments. The smooth blade creates straight slices of cucumber, while a waved blade makes attractive crinkle fries. The rough and fine blades grate carrots and lettuce for taco salad or potatoes for hash browns. To change the blade, simply slide it into the side opening. Turn one knob to produce different thickness of cut, and a second knob to expose the teeth of the blade. Adjust the plane to your favorite height and lock the cap in place before starting to cut. Safety features include a holding guard that locks and silicone covers on the legs to prevent slipping, and a safety bracket on the bottom to protect fingers. A plastic storage case that holds all four blades is included. Pinzon's mandoline should be washed by hand, measures 18½ inches long by 6½ inches wide.
