Our idea of the perfect Saturday afternoon is hanging out in a kitchen shop checking the latest tools. In our kitchens, you'll find drawers stuffed with olive pitters, chicken pluckers and truffle brushes. We sell a lot of high-end equipment, but a lot of people enjoy buying themselves something fun.
Gadgets are perfect.
They are also an affordable way to help you get professional results in the kitchen. Not long ago, the St. Petersburg Times asked two culinary celebrities, Burt Wolf, host of several TV food and travel shows, and chef Jacques Pepin, if they were stranded on a desert island, which pieces of kitchen equipment would they want with them. After a long discussion, they agreed on two pans with lids, a chef's knife, a pair of tongs and a stainless steel cooking spoon. Apparently, even on a desert island, you need a few gadgets. It is the most effective garnishing tool I've used.
