The art to great cooking lies in the preparation, so if you want your meals to turn out perfectly every time, even if it’s just a midweek meal with the family, make sure you’ve got all the prep utensils and gadgets you need to get the job done. From Bamboo Food Scales to stainless steel funnels, apple corers to multi-blade herb scissors, we’ve got everything you could possibly need in our collection of prep utensils and gadgets.
Scissors have a place in every kitchen, whether it’s cutting up herbs with our 5-Blade Herb Scissors or snipping the string on that delicious beef joint. If you want something a little more heavy-duty that can cope with a wide range of jobs around the kitchen, we recommend the Zwilling Kitchen Shears, with comfort grips and razor-sharp blades.
If a recipe calls for lemon or lime juice then you have two options. You can either buy bottled juice, which can taste a little ‘subdued’ compared to the real thing or you can zest your own citrus fruit using our Mini Citrus Juicer, which makes the process quick and easy. It even has its own measuring cup so you can see exactly how much juice you have.
If you’re a serious chef you know that herbs and spices are the essential ingredients in more complex dishes. Even a simple plate of scrambled eggs can be given a real twist with freshly ground black pepper. Use our French Kitchen Marble Mortar and Pestle to grind up your own secret recipe of herbs and spices, or go for a stunning Molcajete that looks amazing as well as being practical.
We’ve put together a collection of gadgets that you wouldn’t think you needed until you actually use them – and then you can’t live without them! Get rid of olive stones easily with our Zyliss Cherry/Olive Pitter, or avoid messy chins smothered in butter and corn with our Chef’n Cob Corn Stripper.
