1. The All-Rounder Kitchen Utensil Set
"The Big Five"
"The Big Five" is an impressive kitchen utensil set consisting of five indispensable tools that will help you create great culinary masterpieces in your kitchen. This set includes a spatula, a cooking spoon, a two-piece salad serving set, and a risotto spoon. Each of these tools has been carefully crafted from high-quality olive wood, offering functionality, durability, and style in one.
The spatula is perfect for turning your favorite dishes in the pan, while the cooking spoon helps you stir and cook. The two-piece salad serving set is ideal for serving crisp salads and vegetables, and the risotto spoon is excellent for preparing creamy risotto and other delicious rice dishes. Together, this kitchen utensil set forms the ultimate set for your kitchen and is an indispensable companion for every cook.
What is a risotto spoon?
A risotto spoon is a special kitchen utensil designed specifically for preparing risotto. The risotto spoon allows for easy stirring and creamy mixing thanks to the hole in the center of the spoon. The special design of the spoon is intended to ensure an even distribution of liquid and flavors while the rice is slowly cooked. In addition, the spoon is equipped with a corner that is perfect for reaching into the corners of the pot, where a normal spoon would not reach due to its rounded shape. This allows the cook to ensure that no risotto sticks to the sides of the pot and is cooked evenly.
2. The All-Purpose Kitchen Utensil Set
"Le Gourmet"
"Le Gourmet" expands the popular Big Five set with two more indispensable kitchen utensils, thus offering a comprehensive selection of high-quality tools for every cooking situation. With a total of seven pieces, this set is the perfect addition to your kitchen equipment and allows you to prepare a variety of dishes with ease.
The set consists of a spatula, a cooking spoon, a two-piece salad serving set, and a risotto spoon, complemented by a slotted spatula and a rice spoon. This combination has been carefully put together to ensure that you have the right tool at hand for every type of cooking task.
What is a rice spoon?
A rice spoon, also known as a rice paddle, is a special serving utensil that is mainly used for serving rice dishes. Unlike a conventional spoon, a rice spoon has a paddle-like shape that allows it to scoop up a larger amount of rice and serve it evenly. This special shape is characteristic of rice spoons and makes them ideal for handling rice. An olive wood rice spoon also offers the added benefit of a natural non-stick coating due to its natural oil content.
Why are there holes in the spatula?
A slotted spatula is a practical kitchen utensil that is specially designed to turn food in the pan while allowing excess fat or liquid to drain away. The holes in the spatula allow the fat or liquid that is on the surface of the food and in the pan to drip off when the food is turned. This makes the dish less greasy and heavy, which is particularly desirable with fried dishes.

4. How do I properly care for my kitchen utensils?
Caring for olive wood kitchen utensils is important to maintain their beauty and functionality for years to come. Here are some tips for proper care:
-
Cleaning: After each use, olive wood kitchen utensils should be washed by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents, as they can dry out the wood.
-
Drying: After cleaning, the utensils should be thoroughly dried to prevent moisture buildup. Olive wood is susceptible to mold growth if it remains damp.
-
Oiling: Regularly oiling the kitchen utensils with a food-safe oil, such as olive oil or linseed oil, helps to nourish the wood and protect it from drying out. Apply a thin layer of oil to the surface and let it soak in for a few hours before wiping off any excess oil.
-
Deodorizing: To neutralize unpleasant odors, you can rub the surface of the utensils with a mixture of lemon juice and coarse salt. Let the mixture work for a few minutes and then rinse the utensils thoroughly with water.
