Trudeau More Kitchen Gadgets

Trudeau 11-Piece Basting Set — Before bulb-style basters, cooks ladled hot juices over meat tilting a heavy pan as needed — a recipe for potential kitchen disaster. Trudeau's 11-piece basting set includes a souped-up model of the classic bulb-and-syringe baster made with extremely heat-resistant material. The set consists of a baster, two attachments, six lacing needles, cleaning brush, and storage box. The baster bulb is made of thick, heat-resistant rubber. Its tube is a clear, plastic cylinder graduated in ¼-ounce increments. The tube end accepts two screw-on attachments: a broad-bladed spray nozzle for covering wider areas, and a needle for injecting basting fluid directly into meat. Six stainless steel lacing needles with eye-hook finials seal meat closed around stuffing. A three-foot length of kitchen twine is also included. The heat-resistant storage box is shaped to cradle the baster between rounds, and also holds attachments and lacing needles. The 9-inch cleaning brush has a tapered nylon-bristle head for reaching into the narrowest part of the baster tube.

Trudeau Ergonomic Can Opener — Since a can opener is one of the essential items without which no kitchen can really function, it's well worth it to find a comfortable tool that opens cans cleanly and will last. Trudeau's ergonomic can opener has an extra-comfy grip, sharp gear blade, and a five-year warranty. Its unusual lock mechanism also reduces stress on joints and ligaments by removing the need for a strong grip while cranking the knob.

 When handles are squeezed closed, a small toggle locks into place, holding the opener closed around the edge of the can. This lock grip does the work that usually requires a firm, steady hold from the user, thus reducing stress on hand, wrist, and fingers. The two handles are sheathed in velvety rubber. The upper part of the opener is made of plastic with a similar texture. Its broad crank handle has an indentation on each side that serves as a thumb grip for more leverage during cranking. Gears serve as grip and blade, set at an angle designed to cut firmly and evenly.

The Trudeau ergonomic can opener is not dishwasher-safe. Wash by hand without immersing in water or holding under running tap. Use a damp cloth or dish brush to clean gears, and towel dry thoroughly when clean. The opener measures 7½ by 3 by 3¼ inches.

Trudeau Can Opener — Since a can opener is one of the essential items without which no kitchen can really function, it's well worth it to find a comfortable tool that opens cans cleanly and will last. Trudeau's basic can opener has a comfy grip, sharp gear blade, and comes with a five-year warranty. (Plus it's kind of cute, with a toy-like design reminiscent of jack-in-the-box wine openers.)

 The can opener’s handles are sheathed in rubber with a velvety feel. A broad crank handle is also rubberized with an indentation on each side that serves as a thumb grip for more leverage during cranking. Gears serve as grip and blade at an angle to each other designed to cut firmly and evenly. The top end of the can opener features a pry-opener for bottle lids. A small notch in the opener serves as a hanger hook for a utensil rack.

The Trudeau can opener is not dishwasher-safe. Wash by hand without immersing in water or holding under running tap. Use a damp cloth or dish brush to clean gears, and towel dry thoroughly when clean. The can opener measures 8 by 2¼ by 2½ inches.

Trudeau Adjustable Cheese Slicer — Shaving off thin, even pieces of cheese with a knife can be a tricky. Hand-held cheese slicers designed to be drawn across a piece of cheese, make the task much easier. Trudeau's adjustable cheese slicer makes the job easier still, with a steel roller that creates a smooth slicing motion. The soft, rubber handle of this slicer also has a ridged thumb spot for a no-slip grip, and is slightly curved for extra leverage.

The slicer harp, as well as roller and slicing wire, is made of stainless steel. Moving the spring-loaded roller among a trio of notches on the inner sides of the harp arms, changes its distance from the cutting wire and adjusts the thickness of cheese slices. The wire is anchored on each end by small metal blocks inserted into slots on the underside of the harp arms. To replace the wire, edge blocks slowly out of slots using a butter knife or broad-bladed screwdriver.

Wash the Trudeau slicer by hand to preserve the life of its thin steel cutting wire. Allow it to dry completely before storing, or hang dry on a utensil rack. The slicer measures 7½ inches long by 4¾ inches wide across the harp. One replacement stainless steel cutting wire is included.

Teaspoon and tablespoon measurements are clearly printed on each spoon, as are the metric measurements for easy recipe conversion. The set is dishwasher-safe when placed on the top shelf.

Trudeau 10-Inch Red Silicone Spatula — The most useful tools in the kitchen perform more than one function — Trudeau’s spatula is a perfect example.

The spatula also does double duty as a scoop or spoon, stirring sauces on the stovetop without harming the delicate, nonstick finish on cookware.
