Professional Chef Tools

Culinary Tools of the Trade

Mastering food is good, but in order to stun everyone with your kitchen is to get the best culinary tools. Learn about the different tools of the trade. Make an impression.

Being a chef makes you crave for perfection, and you seek this perfection in whatever tools you use in the kitchen as well. After working in the kitchen for quite some time, you might not have realized but there are certain knives, utensils, pots etc. that you prefer compared to others.

Many of the famous chefs have in fact brought their own brand of cutlery and cookware as in case of Jamie Oliver. There are companies that are dealing with restaurants, catering companies etc. and providing them with the best culinary tools ever. Every professional chef is very particular about the uniform, knives, pots and pans he uses, and thus it makes perfect business sense to provide such people with the best pieces of equipments and tools. The business can be expanded by providing the restaurants with exceptional bakeware, serveware, cookware, cutlery, etc. that will not only assist them to make the food good but make its presentation even better.

For a chef the vital culinary tool is the set of chef knives. A Chef is so used to his own set of tools and knives that he even teaches with his own set of tools. Even the cutting board is chosen with utmost care.

Some cooks love to cook the food in their own traditional unique way, while others use many different gadgets to get a meal prepared. Cooking a meal takes a lot out of you, so after all that labor, presentation of the dishes is also equally important for a chef.

Thus, the professional chefs have their own professional culinary tools that are developed in premium factories. These tools are very expensive for the public to buy and hence are directly sold to the restaurants, catering services etc. The very basic from among a variety of these culinary tools that are required in a kitchen are:  zesters, graters, timers, Spices graters, Cutting as well as chopping boards and related items, Silicon products, Chef Knives, Pans, Pots, Food Processors, Meat Grinders, Marinade equipments, Bamboo tools, accessories, pounders, tools for garnishing, cups for measuring and many more.

Professional chef or a simple cook, one must always keep the kitchen well stacked with fresh and good quality food, cook well with good culinary and cutlery sets. Finally, you should always try and cook the best meal and then present it in an even better way. And when you are armed with a set of professional culinary tools of the trade, then you will be sure to impress everyone who also appreciates your culinary skills.

Description

32601-003 Even the best knife will lose its initial sharpness during the course of time. The Twinsharp knife sharpener can quickly and easily restore the edge on all of your knives. Always use a J.A. Henckels sharpener or steel for your J.A. Henckels knives. This innovative and knife sharpener with its two separate sharpening modules sharpens knives simply, safely and effectively. It is easy to use because, in contrast to the sharpening steel, the angle is pre-set. Thus it is nearly impossible to use this sharpener the wrong way. Using its steel wheels, module 1 is able to gently remove small damages to the edge. Module 2 gently smoothes the edge and restores the knife to its high sharpness. Beyond that Twinsharp Select works equally for left- and right-handers. This knife sharpener may only be used for uncoated knives with a straight edge. It comprises two modules which are marked: Module I with steel wheels for coarse sharpening, pre-sharpening respectively and Module II with ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. How to use it: Place your Twinsharp Select on an even, anti-slip surface. Make sure the knife blade is clean. Take your Twinsharp Select with either left or right hand, thumb and index finger should touch, and press it slightly on the surface. Place the end of the cutting edge (near the handle) in a 90 angle into the respective module. Draw the blade with little pressure towards yourself, never apply too much pressure or use a see-saw movement. Depending upon the degree of bluntness, you may have to repeat the process up to five times. Should your knife be very blunt, use module I first followed by module II. Knives with a little degree of bluntness may only require the use of module II to bring back the original sharpness. Check the result by cutting into a sheet of paper. Important note: No liquids are necessary to sharpen knives with the Twinsharp Select. To clean the Twinsharp Select, simply turn it upside down to get rid of the residual

Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.

Features

  • Suitable for all knives with a fine edge
  • Comprises two modules: one for coarse sharpening and one for fine sharpening
  • Rubber feet prevent skidding on the counter top
  • Measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall
  • Works well for both right- and left-handed people

View larger. Versatile, User-Friendly Design A sharp blade makes it easier to get work done quickly and safely. The innovative AccuSharp Knife Sharpener lets you sharpen most blades in around ten seconds. Sharpening is oil- and mess-free, and it doesn't require guessing at angles or handling rough, awkward stones. This sharpener's easy-to-use design makes it a great tool to have on hand in professional and personal kitchens, as well as an easy choice for hunters, fishermen and women, gardeners, and craftspeople. Featuring a unique, ergonomic handle, the AccuSharp fits neatly in either hand to accommodate both right- and left-handed users, and it includes a full-length guard that protects your fingers throughout the sharpening process. Fast, Effective Sharpening To get started sharpening, you simply place your knife on a table or counter top with the cutting edge up. Hold the knife handle securely with one hand. Then let the "V" notch on the sharpener straddle the blade, and use your thumb to apply light pressure as you draw the AccuSharp down past the point of the blade. When you first use the AccuSharp on a blade, several passes may be required to make sure that your knife's cutting angle conforms to the AccuSharp angle. But once that angle is achieved the first time, it should take just two or three brief passes to put a sharp edge back on your knife--which means that sharpening fits into your busy schedule instead of interfering with it. Dependable, Long-Lasting Construction To deliver years of reliable use, AccuSharp sharpening blades are crafted from diamond-honed tungsten carbide, one of the hardest known materials. And because even the toughest industrial-quality blades eventually begin to show wear, AccuSharp's unique design allows you to reverse the blade to double its life span. Most users report an average of five to 10 years between blade replacements, which means that it's easy to ensure that your sharpener will be ready to go when you need it. AccuSharp Knife Sharpeners will not rust, and they can be cleaned easily with soap and water or in your dishwasher. What's in the Box AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener
