Baking & Pastry Utensils |
|
Pastry Brush with Stainless Steel Handle — This 7-inch pastry
brush has a dense head of bleached, natural bristles. The brush is perfect for precisely applying
egg washes, melted butter or chocolate, and glazes to all manner of pastry. Plastic connector
between bristles and handle resists food acids. |
|
Can Opener |
|
Stainless Steel Can Opener — This can opener is capable of
slitting the tops off cans, prying the lids off jars, and popping the tops off bottles, the
opener is heavy, sturdy, and comfortable in the hand. It measures 9 inches long and has a
tough plastic turning knob that fits the fingers for maximum leverage and ease of use. |
|
Cheese Tools |
|
Stainless Steel Cheese Plane — For properly serving firm
cheeses like cheddar, aged Gouda, Swiss, and jack, a cheese plane is essential. It's shaped
something like a spatula, with a knife-blade in its center. Draw it across a block of cheese
and it neatly peels off a thin slice. Use the spatula part to lift a slice and place it on a
plate, cracker, or toast. The 9½-inch plane is made is beautifully balanced. |
|
Stainless Steel Cheese Grater — The grater is 10 inches long
overall, and its 4½-inch grating head converts hard cheese like Parmesan, pecorino, and aged
jack into fluffy flakes as a benediction for pasta or sauces. |
|
Stainless-Steel Cheese Slicer — The slicer employs steel wires
(replacements available separately) to create uniform slices when drawn through semi-hard cheeses
like cheddar and Jarlsberg. The slicer is 10 inches long overall and cuts 4-inch-wide cheese blocks. |
|
Fruit & Vegetable Tools |
|
Stainless-Steel Lemon Zester — Make quick work of lemon, lime,
or orange peel with this high-quality zester from WMF. Made of heavy-duty, Cromargan 18/10
stainless steel, it has a smooth, rounded handle for a comfortable grip. |
|
Julienne Slicer — This high quality stainless steel slicer
creates perfect julienne slices in one easy motion. Great for most fruits and vegetables. |
|
Stainless Steel Apple Corer — Plunging the sharp teeth of
this 8½-inch apple corer's round, business end through an apple to precisely remove its
core is made easier by the heft of the corer's handle. |
|
Ice Cream Scoop |
|
Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop — This 9-inch ice cream scoop
is precisely engineered. The scoop's 2¼-inch oval head is cupped so that it forms pretty balls
of ice cream or sherbet when drawn horizontally through an icy confection. |
|
Pizza & Garlic Tools |
|
Stainless Steel Double Wheel Pizza Cutter — By employing
two cutting wheels instead of one, this tool slices through the thickest crust in a single
pass — two cuttings in one — and doesn't require the back-and-forth action
single-wheel cutters often need. The 2½-inch-diameter wheel blades have sharp, beveled edges
that also work splendidly for neatly dividing fudge, lasagna, and other foods. The cutter
measures 6½ inches long, is beautifully balanced with highly polished wheels. |
|
Garlic Press — This garlic press features a comfortable,
ergonomic design that functions easily and feels good in the hand. Its stainless steel
construction is durable, and the sleek lines are visually appealing. The design is of
one-piece construction so it opens easily for cleaning, with no threat of losing its
pieces. |
|
Stainless Steel Garlic Press — With 48 tiny holes in its head,
the sturdy press easily converts a clove of garlic into bits for cooking or adding to salads.
It measures 7¾ inches long with cylindrical handles that fit the hand for maximum leverage
and ease of use. |
|
Other Tools |
|
Trend Ceramill Empty Grinding Mill — This ergonomically-shaped
hand mill grinds pepper, salt, spices, and dried herbs with ease. The Ceramill grinding mechanism,
made of ceramic, is so durable it's covered by WMF under a ten-year warranty. Hourglass-shaped and
measuring only 5¼ inches in height and 2½ inches across the base, the mill is comfortable to grasp
and fits neatly into many spice racks. To use the mill, the glass jar is unscrewed from the plastic
top half, filled with whatever needs grinding (not included), and screwed back on. The press-fit
lid that seals in freshness and aroma is removed, and a knob can be adjusted that offers a range
from coarse to fine grind. While one hand holds the flared top, the other hand turns the glass jar
back and forth and out sprinkles the freshly ground seasonings. The mill can be popped into the
dishwasher for a thorough cleaning. |
|
Stainless-Steel Egg Shaped Odor-Eater — Call it science, call it
magic, call it what you wish. This WMF stainless steel Odor-Eater egg really works! Keep it by the
kitchen sink and roll it between your hands, along with a stream of water, to remove pungent odors
of garlic, onions, fish or any unpleasant smell. The metal against the skin causes a reaction of
sorts, which cleanly lifts odor, while the water washes them down the drain. No kitchen should be
without it! |
|
Kult Coffee Press — Not only beautifully-designed, this coffee
press produces aromatic, flavorful coffee the way the experts like it. Grounds are put in the
heat-resistant glass insert, hot water added, and the filter plunged after four to six minutes
of steeping. A window in the stainless-steel base allows a peek at the brewing process. A creation
of leading European designer Sebastian Bergne, the Kult coffee press melds durability with elegance.
The base, lid, and plunger are made of 18/10 stainless steel in a contemporary brushed finish.
Insulated and angled away from the heat, the handle allows the pot to be lifted and poured with ease.
When every last drop is enjoyed, all the parts go into the dishwasher. Any smudges on the
stainless-steel base can be wiped off with a soft cloth. The press measures nine by four inches and
holds approximately 32 ounces, or five to six 6-ounce cups of coffee. |
