RÖSLE Barbecue and Vegetable Basket
Made by grilling experts RÖSLE, this oven– and grill–ready basket is ideal for smaller vegetables, fruit or chopped meat. Baskets are a grill’s best friend: They allow for delicate foods to be grilled without damage from sticking or falling through the grate. Because the items are corralled in the basket, you can easily flip them with a wide metal spatula in one swift move, saving time and effort. The stainless steel basket itself heats up, while the perforations allow heat to directly cook your food. The basket comes with two grips for easy handling; always use grill gloves when picking up the basket, as it will be extremely hot. (This basket is not for use on the stove. For stovetop charring, check out the Milk Street Közmatik.)
RÖSLE Barbecue Leather Grilling Gloves
Made of authentic leather, these heat-safe gloves protect hands and forearms from heat, flames and sparks when grilling. They come with two layers: an outer layer made from durable 100% leather, and a soft breathable inner lining made from cotton and polyester. The separated fingers allow a full range of motion—compared to the limited movement of a regular oven mitt. Safely handle your grill, pans, skewers and baskets with the gloves’ proven heat resistance and extra-long cuffs. These gloves come in one size that fits most.
Dreamfarm BBQ Clongs
Dreamfarm’s BBQ Clongs are stainless steel click-lock tongs that are designed to pick up anything you want to grill. Use the flat tip and study arms to cook, flip, scrape, serve, clean and pick up even the smallest pieces of food; the Clongs also come with a spike to prick sausages, which we found useful for moving food around the grill, as well as a link cutter to detach sausages or cut through their skin. The button at the end of the Clongs opens and closes them easily—and locks them in two positions—and the bend in the handle keeps the tips off of surfaces (like all of Dreamfarm’s barbecue tools), to keep your grill clean and prevent cross-contamination.
J.K. Adams Maple Artisan Plank Serving Board
The most popular board in J.K. Adams’ lineup, this Maple Artisan Plank Serving Board gives the feel of a vintage piece but guarantees durability that will last a lifetime. It’s made from North American hardwood and finished with tinted tung oil—a food-safe drying oil made from the seed of the tung tree used to finish wood and give it a polished, deeper look. Use to plate cheese, charcuterie, sweets, appetizers, small bites, bread and more, or keep on display when not in use for a beautiful decor piece.
triangle Tools Fine Skimmer 1946
With its soft diamond shape and finer holes, the Fine Skimmer 1946 from triangle Tools is designed for finer tasks than its larger cousin. While it will also drain liquids with zero clogs, this fine skimmer spans the gap between a larger spider and a mesh skimmer. We love it for the in-between tasks, like blanching finely chopped vegetables and skimming small particles from boiling liquid (without having to break out a hard-to-clean mesh option). Like all of triangle Tools’ designs, the skimmer is sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of the busiest kitchen: It’s constructed with brushed 18/10 stainless steel, the industry gold standard for strength and quality. Use the hooked end of the handle to store the skimmer easily or hang it from the edge of the pot.
triangle Tools Skimmer 1946
With its wide, shallow bowl and large square holes, this skimmer from triangle Tools was designed to drain liquids with zero clogs. Like all of triangle Tools’ designs, the skimmer balances form and function, sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of the busiest kitchen: It’s constructed with brushed 18/10 stainless steel, the industry gold standard for strength and quality. Use the hooked end of the handle to store the skimmer easily or hang it from the edge of the pot, so your utensil is at hand for fishing out perfectly al dente pasta or golden-brown fritters.
triangle Tools Serrated Pie Knife
Slice your pie and serve it, too, with this Serrated Pie Knife from triangle Tools. This sleek, stainless steel server features one smooth edge and one serrated edge, so you can cut into soft cakes or pie crust with equal ease. After cutting, the pie knife’s flat 7-inch blade slides easily under slices to pull them out cleanly. Their tools are made in Solingen, a German city known for high-quality cutlery. The handle is made from a sturdy polymer, hand-finished and completed with rivets for secure attachment.
triangle Tools Cheese Grater
This cheese grater comes from triangle Tools’ Soul line, a series of high-quality kitchen tools developed for design lovers and gourmands alike. The grater comes with super-sharp teeth designed with a photo-etching process, a method that involves using photosensitive film and an acid bath to precisely dissolve a stainless steel sheet to produce the teeth, which behave like knives rather than simply ripping up food. The grater’s handle is made from smooth cherry, plum or walnut wood sourced from local orchards and forests; the handles are carved in nearby Sauerland before being fitted with the stainless steel grate in Solingen—a region of Germany famous for knives, kitchen tools and flatware—with renewably sourced electricity. This grater comes in a reusable gift box, ideal for last-minute gifting or (spoiling the chef in your life).
triangle Tools Aroma Grater
The Aroma Grater from triangle Tools was designed for breaking down delicate aromatics—like ginger, garlic, citrus peel, wasabi and more—without leaving excess fiber in the pulp. The Aroma’s specially designed plastic teeth and stainless steel casing separate into two pieces, so any unwanted fibers—like the stringy ones from ginger—stay stuck on the plastic, leaving only smooth pulp for you to slide into your bowl.
triangle Tools Reibe 2-way Grater with Catcher
We found it: the grater that won’t make a mess and works twice as fast. A 2-in-1 “catcher” clips under the grate to capture and redirect errant shavings; to protect the grating surface, simply clip the catcher on top of the grater to guard blades (and fingers) when the grater is stored. The Reibe has an ultrasharp grate with medium holes designed to deliver a coarse shaving, perfect for grating vegetables for salads. And blades are arranged to cut foods in two directions, speeding prep time. These stainless steel graters come with nonslip nubs and a notch at the base to ensure a secure hold on cutting boards and bowls.
