WMF Tools & Gadgets

Contemporary European in style, these high-quality Profi Plus tools and gadgets from WMF make ease of every conceivable kitchen task. They have heavy-duty hanging loops and cylindrical, satin-finish handles made of 18/10 stainless steel. Seamless construction ensures hygiene and cleaning ease.  These tools are dishwasher-safe, durable, and a joy to use for serious cooks and novices alike.

Baking & Pastry Utensils

Pastry Brush with Stainless Steel HandleThis 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 OpenerThis 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 PlaneFor 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 GraterThe 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 SlicerThe 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 ZesterMake 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 SlicerThis high quality stainless steel slicer creates perfect julienne slices in one easy motion. Great for most fruits and vegetables.

Stainless Steel Apple CorerPlunging 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 ScoopThis 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 CutterBy 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 PressThis 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 PressWith 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 MillThis 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-EaterCall 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 PressNot 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.
