Basics for every day

In addition to a few pots and pans, a small selection of kitchen utensils is part of every household's standard equipment. Indispensable basics such as mixing bowls and kitchen scales are used almost every day to prepare various dishes. To ensure that they can withstand continuous use, particular attention should be paid to the high quality and user-friendliness of the products.

Ladle by Fackelmann

Ladles & co. are always in demand in every kitchen. Even better when they come in an environment-friendly design. The “Ecolution” series by Fackelmann stands for natural materials such as wood fibres and sugar cane, which are combined to create an innovative material.

Mixing bowl by Mepal

The “Chef It” mixing bowl by Mepal comes in a modern, sleek design and four trendy colours. Thanks to its non-slip base, it always remains stable when mixing, beating and kneading. Further positive features are the robust, easy to hold handle and the practical pouring spout.

Kitchen scale by ADE

With its two separate weighing surfaces, the “Isabella” dual scale by ADE can be used in a variety of ways. It weighs small quantities such as yeast or tea with milligram accuracy and has a capacity of up to five kilograms on the large platform – ideal for baking bread or pizza.

Sharp assistants

Tomatoes, cucumbers or carrots, onions, cheese or chocolate - food preparation often involves peeling, slicing and grating. A wide range of sharp kitchen gadgets are available for this purpose. They are easy to use and convenient to operate, so that even inexperienced cooks can use them without any problems.

Square grater by Gefu

As a 7-in-1 all-rounder with a three-way adjustable V-blade, the “V-Cut” square grater by Gefu takes care of all slicing and grating tasks. The ergonomic handle sits comfortably in the hand and the “V-Cut” can be put in the dishwasher after use.

Peeler by Kuhn Rikon

With its super-sharp, serrated stainless steel blade, the “Piranha” peeler by Kuhn Rikon removes smooth and rough peelings with ease. The harp-shaped peeler is easy to handle and is equally suitable for right- and left-handed users.

Can opener by Culinare

The “Magican” by Culinare was developed to open cans easily and efficiently. Here's how it works: Simply place the opener on the can lid, turn the knob and finally lift off the lid. The robust, wide handles provide a secure and comfort grip.

For cutting and serving

Every good meal starts with a good chopping board. Before further processing, many foods must first be cleaned, chopped or minced. This requires not only suitable chef's knives, but also a suitable cutting board. This should not be too hard so that the knife blades remain sharp for as long as possible. Plastic or wooden boards are ideal for this.

The chopping board from the “Green Tools” collection by Eva Solo is made of FSC®-certified, hard-wearing bamboo wood. The silicone edge and small silicone feet ensure that the board does not slip when working. The wide juice groove collects liquid from vegetables or meat so that the worktop always stays clean. Measuring 28 x 39 cm, the beautiful wooden board can also be used for serving.

Nice to have

From A for apple corer to Z for zester grater, there is a suitable kitchen helper for every task, no matter how unusual. How many of these specialists you really need depends on your individual cooking preferences. You will also find plenty of creative gift ideas among these original tools. For example, how about an orange squeezer and a basket of oranges as a gift for the next invitation?

Juicer by Dreamfarm

Fresh vitamins are now in your glass: the folding mechanism of the “Fluicer” (fold flat easy juicer) by Dreamfarm squeezes the oranges from the outside and inside at the same time, so that as much juice as possible is extracted. The “Fluicer” can be folded flat for storage.

BeepEgg by Brainstream

Perfectly cooked eggs are a science in themselves – but not with the BeepEgg. Simply boil them together with the real eggs and wait until the BeepEgg sings. The rainbow design also symbolises all kinds of beautiful things. Tolerance, peace or the residence of the gods in Hawaii.

Spill Stopper by Kochblume

The “cooking flower” is a real all-rounder. It not only protects against boiling over, but is also suitable as a splash guard for pans, as a microwave lid or steamer attachment. Available in different sizes and colours, the “cooking flower” is as practical as it is decorative.
