Tongs for every job!

A new range of speciality tongs made from commercial – quality stainless steel.  All feature the patented locking pull mechanism and can be opened and closed with one hand.  The locking mechanism keeps the tongs tightly closed for compact storage.  A simple tap of the pull loop on a leg or hip will spring the tongs open.   They also include a hoop for hanging.  The silicone tipped tongs are heat resistant and dishwasher safe. RRP £17.99

Braising/ Casserole tongs are ideal for cooking in a pot.  The slotted spoon scoops up meat and vegetables while draining the liquid, the solid spoon serves as a ladle for sauces.

Fish/Barbecue tongs slide under fish or meat without tearing delicate flesh.  The non-stick silicone head holds the fillet so it can be gently turned over without dropping back onto the grill or the pan.

Pasta tongs designed to scoop and drain the pasta.  The non-stick tips prevent the pasta from sticking to the tongs.

Grill tongs/Panini designed to grasp and lift a Panini or grilled sandwich without damaging the grill surface or harming the sandwich.

Cathy Azria Makes Magic out of Metal

Best known for her indoor fire sculptures, now artist Cathy Azria is re-inventing the Bonfire for the garden. Built to special commission, her fires form the heart of an ‘outdoor room’.  Running on mains gas, they can be designed into a chimney, built into fireproof/frost proof vessels or, as seen here, built over a concealed burner.

Tapering steel plates are stacked and leant against each other to define geometric planes through a sculptural form. Added drama is created by the stack’s apparent (but not actual!) instability. The metal has been left in its natural state and has acquired a wonderful patina from the elements and from the fire. Says interior designer Fiona Barratt who commissioned this work “I love the bold statement that this sculpture makes. The very structural shapes of the planes is a lovely contrast to the soft shapes of the garden planting”.

To commission only. Price on application.
