Sharpen up your Christmas Cooking with Chef’s Knife Store

sharpen up your christmas cooking ……..
…… and the perfect gift for a wannabe foodie


Sharp kitchen knives are a year round necessity, but never more so than at Christmas when big birds, big hams, succulent roasts and a feast of vegetables take centre stage.

This is where the on-line www.chefsknifestore.co.uk comes into its own.  Whether for individual knives like the super efficient carving/slicing knife and meat fork, the fabulous bread knife which should make pre-sliced bread redundant or the chef’s knife which makes vegetable prep a new  (and joyful) experience, this is the website to visit.  Prices are considerably better than those on the high street. You can buy the knives individually or buy a 6-piece set as a gift which works out even better value.

Note to editors: This is what chef Rowley Leigh of The Café Anglais has to say…..” I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to the NAIFU range of knives. When I first saw them I was amazed at how reasonably they seemed to be priced. Such was their weight, balance and general feel, they could be an extension of the hand and could easily cost twice as much. I have no intention in using any other knife especially since the fact that after three months use, they hone back to their original sharpness in seconds. I am going to make all my cooks try them.

Toys for boys……Christmas gifts for men that cook.

It seems to be the case that men, much more than women, like to have the correct tool for the task and those metrosexual men who enjoy cooking are no exception.  So whilst many women might secretly believe that a whisk or a rasp is really a ‘present for the house’ men that ‘cook to impress’ are likely to be delighted with the ‘right’ gadget for the job.

Cuisipro makes ‘tools for cooks’ who have an eye for design and a passion for quality – the perfect Christmas gift for men that cook.   (oh, and they all go in the dishwasher…)

Christmas lunch made easy with Cuisipro!!

First, baste your Turkey with ease using the innovative Dual Baster with two interchangeable heads.  The ‘one of a kind’ shower head showers sauce evenly with one simple squeeze whilst the interchangeable injector head injects flavour such as sauces, marinades or butter, directly into the bird.  The large bulb is easy to grip and the clear window measurements simple to read.  

Next, use the Deluxe Fat Separator to create clear, healthier, gravy and sauces.  Liquid is strained of food particles as it enters the container. The unique plug blocks fat and food particles from the gravy.  Once separated, the lid can be snapped up to unplug the spout and release the pure, lean gravy into the pour spout.  

Finally, transport your turkey from roasting pan to serving tray with the ‘award winning’ Mini Roast & Serve.(Holds up to 5kg bird) The large handles – easy to use with oven gloves – and re-moveable pin – to disassemble the rack – make serving stress free.  Cleaning the non-stick surface is a breeze and the rack can be folded for quick storage…….and lunch is served!

Most Innovative Product in Show

Winner of ‘most innovative product in show’ at the Autumn Fair 

Cuisipro’s 4 sided Box Grater with Additional Ginger Grater featuring new Surface Glide Technology.

Cuisipro Graters with new Surface Glide Technology™ – grate more with less effort

 

The 4 sided Box Grater, launched at the Autumn Fair, is from a new generation of graters from Cuisipro that feature Surface Glide Technology. Surface Glide Technology is new and exclusive to Cuisipro and is a repeated grooved pattern spread evenly across the grating surface. The grooves provide 2 distinct benefits beyond other graters.  First, the groove reduces resistance, making grating effortless.  Second, the elongated groove shape lengthens each individual blade, so each blade has a greater cutting surface that comes in contact with food, therefore producing more gratings per stroke.

 

 

 

The Box grater has five grating surfaces:  fine for citrus zest, Parmesan, garlic nutmeg and cinnamon; coarse for soft cheeses and vegetables; ultra-coarse for soft cheeses such as Mozzarella;  a slicer for slicing cucumbers, potatoes and a variety of vegetables and in the base a unique ginger grater that perfectly shreds fresh ginger root while leaving unwanted fibres behind. Patent pending.

 

Also launched at the Autumn Fair and featuring the new surface glide technology was the Deluxe Dual Grater and the Rotary Duo Grater other items will follow in the New Year.
