Cook's Knife |
... because
yes, size DOES matter! |
|
 |
Look into virtually every kitchen drawer
and you are highly unlikely to find a decent chopping knife.
If you do find one, it will almost certainly be too short.
The minimum blade length you need to chop away like a real
chef if 250mm, and 300mm is even better, but these professional
sizes are not easy to find. The cook's knife is the most
important knife in the kitchen, but sadly too often overlooked.
The two "true" Sabatier professional knives we
have selected are designed to last a lifetime! full

Lyonnaise Frypan
28cm |
... to
last a lifetime (yes, really!) |
|
 |
This professional pan, not usually available
to members of the public, comes from de Buyer's top-of-the-range
Carbone-Plus restaurant range, designed to last a lifetime.
Generally, no soap or water is used to clean these frypans.
If necessary, you can sprinkle some table salt into the
pan before wiping to enhance the abrasion effect. If you
ask for a Steak in a French restaurant, this is more than
likely the pan it will be cooked in. Also, perfect for fish
too. more

Sommelier Laguiole
13cm |
... a
French classic |
|
 |
There are many bottle-openers, corkscrews
and waiter's friends available these days, but go into a
top Parisian restaurant and more than likely, the head sommelier
will be using a Laguiole, pronounced "la-ghi-yoll",
to open your wine bottle, just like the classic olive wood
model shown here. The unrivalled quality of these bottle
openers is legendary among serious oenologists. Owing to
their elegant, distinctive lines, as well as fine craftsmanship
and expensive materials, they are recognised as a design
classic. more

Preparation Bowls |
... because
good cooking starts with good preparation! |
|
 |
These bowls are standard items in
most professional kitchens and are so much better than the
poor quality versions usually on offer. When peeling and
preparing vegetables, a chef will often fill the 30cm bowl
for the peelings - when the bowl is full, it is emptied,
rinsed, and can be re-used straight away to store the chopped
vegetables until they are needed for cooking. These bowls
are also used for mixing and blending ingredients, including
pastry, and for whisking. Made from 0.8mm-1mm thick rust-free
stainless steel so will not normally deform, even in the
toughest working environment - in fact, they should last
a lifetime. enlarge

Roasting Pan |
... it'll
be the only one you will ever need to buy! |
|
 |
These professional roasting pans ensure
you can make the best gravy sauce by taking advantage of
the roasting juices - with their robust form and high sides,
they perfect for browning meat and vegetables and adding
liquid to the caramelised residue to make sauces. There
are traditional French roasting pans, for use in the oven
or on top, and for serving. These are just so much better
than the usual roasting pans aimed at domestic users.

Moulin à Légumes |
... mashed
potato will never taste the same again! |
|
 |
This stainless steel vegetable mill
is a standard item in professional kitchens. It is perfect
for making purees, and will turn your boiled potatoes into
the best mashed potato you have ever tasted. Also great
for making tomato sauces. Use the fine disc for homemade
jellies, creamy sauces and baby food, the medium disc for
vegetable soups, apple sauce, mashed potato, and
the coarse disc for tomato pizza toppings and chunkier sauces.
Our food mill has a convenient release mechanism that makes
it easy to exchange discs and disassemble for storage. Three
legs hold the Food Mill securely over bowls and saucepans,
keeping it out of your food. more

Sauté Pan - large
28cm |
... you
need this to make sauces! |
|
 |
This professional-quality stainless
steel sauté frypan is perfect for browning meat and
vegetables and adding liquid to the caramelised residue
to make sauces. Few domestic pans are really suited for
this restaurant-style of cooking. The straight-sides allow
quick browning of food without condensation, giving improved
caramelization of the juices. The rim of this pan is specially
rounded in such a way that pouring is very straight forward.
The stainless steel handle is welded, so it will never come
loose, and its tubular form ensures that it stays cool.
This is a generously-sized heavyweight pan that can also
be put in the oven. more

Mortar & Pestle |
... so
difficult to find a good one! |
|
 |
We have looked far and wide for a Mortar
& Pestle that we can really recommend - too often we have
found poor-quality versions that either grind themselves
as well as their contents, or stain easily and are not very
durable, or even don't grind properly! At last, however,
we have uncovered a mortar and pestle set that we are very
proud to recommend. The Mason Cash Mortar & Pestle is the
simplest and best way of grinding and crushing herbs and
spices. It is a classic design that is based on the original
high-quality models produced over 200 years ago.more

Knife Sharpener |
... long
enough to actually be useful! |
|
 |
Keeping your knives sharp is essential
if you wish to achieve good results. Typically, a chef will
sharpen knives prior to eash cooking session. As in the
case of the Cook's Knife above, sharpening steels in domestic
kitchens are almost always too short (usually 200mm), making
them almost impossible to use effectively, as the blade
does not get a even grinding on its way down the steel.
Professional chef's use steels that have a 300mm sharpener,
and this makes the world of a difference. Six downstrokes
on this large-sized sharpening steel is usually all that
is to maintain sharpness. more
