I love the fact that a French automaker also makes an invaluable kitchen utensil. I look forward to passing this one on to my grandchildren.

Candy Saigon wrote an ingenious essay about this pan in the Washington Post and won a James Beard award for it, deservedly so. I refer to her.

Sabatier Carbon-Steel Kitchen Knives

2 people recommended this item

Description

It used to belong to my great-aunt, and had fallen out of use because of a chink in the blade. I sharpened it and it’s as good as new, but has the romantic feel of an old tool.

Microplane grater

5 people recommended this item

Description

Can someone tell us why this masterpiece wasn’t invented years ago? Microplane graters are perfectly designed for cutting precision and durability. Try it to create beautifully fine and delicate fruit zests. A must for the well-stocked kitchen.

Messermeister 10" Chef´s Knife

First to recommend

Description

Unlike other German chef´s knives, this one does not have a bolster to interfere with sharpening, and it holds a nice edge. It´s also a beast of a tool and fun to wield.

Mine is c. 1945. It retains heat longer, its burners are stronger, it has a griddle for pancakes built in; I get inspired to cook just looking at it.
