subject: Five New Must Have Kitchen Utensils [print this page] There are some utensils that every kitchen must have. Tools like the rolling pin, the whisk and the spatula are simply essential if you ever intend on cooking anything seriously. But just like new technology is driving on kitchen appliances to bigger and better things, new utensil design is also throwing up some very practical and stylish new tools that your kitchen will very soon not be able to exist without. Why not get ahead of the curve and try these new utensils before everyone else?
1. The Trio Peeler
Ok, so everyone already has a peeler but does yours have three rotating blades to peel all the different types of skin? After all, not all vegetables are the same. Even the very best potato peeler would struggle to remove the very tough skin of a butternut squash or pumpkin.
2. The square colander
It seems so obvious now someone has made it but a square colander with a handle just seems to make perfect sense. When youre pouring a conventional colander it can be very tricky due to its round shape. But with a handle and natural spout formed by the corner, this colander is safer and more convenient when dealing with hot food and liquids. Made by Kitchen design experts Joseph Joseph, once you have tried this you wont ever go back.
3. Jamie Oliver, Flavour Shaker
The Brits have done their fair share for the world in terms of inventions, no matter how much we dont like to admit it. Currently, their cooking revolution is going great guns. And with chefs like Jamie Oliver coming up with gems like this flavour shaker, it shows no sign of slowing down. It has a simple cocktail shaker action but really unleashes the taste of your herbs and spices.
4. Citrus Reamer
Juicing any kind of fruit with your hands or even a conventional juicer is never easy. And you certainly never feel like you have got the full amount of juice. But the ball tip design of a citrus reamer will get into every nook and make sure every last drop of delicious juice ends up where you want it.
5. Tea Swizzle
After all that hard work in the kitchen, you really deserve a cup of tea. Making the perfect tea using tea strainers and teapots is all well and good. But sometimes you just want it to be that little bit easier. The tea swizzle is a handy little tool that simply lets you stir your way to a beautiful cup of loose tea. Simply put the tea in the capsule at the end and stir. It couldnt be simpler.
These new kitchen utensils and appliances are making life easier in kitchens across the world. Why not have a look at our range of utensils and see what you need for your kitchen?
