food Preparation

The everyday tools that make the rest of the work possible. Sixty six lines here, and most of it is the sort of thing you buy once and keep in the drawer for twenty years.

Knives first. F.Dick from Germany for the cleaver and the sharpening steels, coarse, regular and fine EuroCut, and a long Swibo slicing blade at 31cm for cooked meats. Inoxbonomi serrated table knives in sets of six. A Caper mezzaluna at 30.5cm for herbs, which is faster than any board knife once you are used to it. Store them on the wall-mounted magnetic holder rather than loose in a drawer.

Then the boards. Ken Hands professional PE cutting boards in the sizes commercial kitchens use, a chrome rack to stand them in, and Rigamonti chopping boards and birch pasta boards at 60 x 40cm for rolling.

Rigamonti also make the graters and slicers Italian families here grew up with: the Super Shredder 2000, the La Brava vegetable slicer, the Vegetable Express and the Magic Grater mandolin set. Alongside them, OMAC stainless potato ricers and parsley cutters, olive pitters in stainless and spring-loaded aluminium, and the Ferrari spremi press for fruit and soft cheese.

The unglamorous half matters just as much. Digital scales from 3kg to 40kg, food-grade crates and tubs with lids, tongs, colanders and steamer baskets, and timers that actually go off.

Everything is on the shelf at Laverton North and Epping. Come and pick up a knife before you buy it. See also knives and sharpening, cutting boards and scales. Part of our Kitchen Equipment range.
