Nice to Have 'New Basics Of Kitchen Tools'

FAT SEPARATOR
Perfect for making pan gravy, a FAT SEPARATOR has a sharply angled spout set at the base. The fat floats to the top of the separator so you can pour off the fat-free pan juices, leaving the fat behind.

GARLIC PRESS
A GARLIC PRESS is a hinged tool that squeezes garlic into smaller pieces than can be achieved by mincing.

MANDOLINE
Also called a vegetable slicer, the MANDOLINE is a sharp-bladed countertop tool that slices, cuts french fries, and juliennes firm fruits and vegetables.

PASTRY BLENDER
The curved wires of a PASTRY BLENDER, a classic baking tool, easily cut butter and vegetable shortening into dry ingredients for biscuits, scones, and pie crusts, ensuring a fl aky result.

RASP GRATER
Originally made for woodworkers to smooth the rough edges of wood, the handy RASP GRATER can be used for grating citrus zest, whole nutmeg, chocolate, and hard cheeses.
