Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set

Biting into a cupcake filled with cream, icing or ganache is an incredible, surprising treat. Home cooks and kids can make filled cupcakes like a pro with the new Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set. Unfilled cupcakes will soon seem boring. The kit includes every tool needed to create and decorate filled cupcakes: a cupcake corer, two cupcake squeeze bottles, two decorating tips and a cupcake offset spatula.

The cupcake corer creates uniform cavities for filling with frosting, cream, ganache, candy or jelly. The corer requires a simple twist and pull so it is easy and mess free. The plastic corer is safe for kids to use and it features a guard to prevent the corer from being inserted too far into the cupcake. The plunger pushes out the cupcake core with ease and the plunger snaps out for cleaning.

The two transparent, easy-grip squeeze bottles are designed to compress together like an accordion. This action is much easier to control than the action needed for typical squeeze bottles that need to be clenched and squeezed in the hand. The squeeze bottles holds about a cup so few refills of icing are needed. A round decorating tip creates delicates lines for words and borders and a floral decorating tip is ideal for creating designs and for filling the cupcake cavity. An offset cupcake spatula is sized for the job of icing cupcakes and making artistic touches. The entire Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set is top-shelf dishwasher safe and retails for $20. The Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set is backed by a 25-year warranty.

Cuisipro Mini Tempo Tools

The new Cuisipro Mini Tempo Tools are both practical for the kitchen and elegant for the table. Cuisipro has been making long Tempo Tools for the kitchen for many years. These tools often double as serveware due to their tableware style and shape. Now Cuisipro presents a smaller size, 10inches, sized for the table and buffet. Just as practical and just as beautiful as the original.

Cuisipro Mini Tempo Tongs

Each of the seven new Mini Tempo Tools feature the gently curved hollow handle that keeps cool when serving hot foods and that prevents the utensil from sliding off a plate or bowl. The handle is more natural to hold then a flat, straight handle. The mirror finish on the seamless stainless steel tools offer a simple elegance to the table without the maintenance required for silverplate or silver serving tools.

These tools are as comfortable in the kitchen as they are at the table and thus can do double duty to reduce the clean up. The heavy-gauge stainless steel is non-corrosive, resistant to extremes in temperatures and durable for hard use. All of the Cuisipro Tempo Tools are dishwasher safe and backed by a 25-year warranty.

The new Mini Tempo Tool collection includes 2 sizes of tongs, a serving spoon, a slotted serving spoon, a serving fork, a cake and pie server and a serving ladle. The tools retail for $14 -18.

Edible Schoolyard Garden

Greensboro, NC (May 2010) – The Extra Ingredient, a Greensboro, NC kitchen store, coordinated efforts to stock the teaching kitchen of the new Edible Schoolyard that opened at the Greensboro Children’s Museum (GCM) on May 22, 2010.  The Edible Schoolyard at GCM is the first of its kind at a museum in the country and the fourth official affiliate of the program created by Alice Waters and The Chez Panisse Foundation.

Herb Garden

The Greensboro Children’s Museum’s Edible Schoolyard includes a half-acre, four-season, organic garden filled with vegetables, herbs, fruits, flowers, a pond, a chicken coup, outdoor classrooms and a teaching kitchen where children and families can create recipes, cook food and share meals and conversation together.  Visitors to the Edible Schoolyard will learn about the relationship among food, nature and life through organic gardening (planting, growing, harvesting), preparing and cooking organic food simply and nutritiously.  The Edible Schoolyard program will become a model for other children’s museums nationwide promoting health and wellness.

Emile Henry, Rosle, Cuisipro, and Arcuisine Elegance Products

The Extra Ingredient, an independently owned and operated kitchen store located at the Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro, NC, is one of many Greensboro community businesses and organizations that are generously donating supplies and services to the new Edible Schoolyard.  The Extra Ingredient coordinated product donations from kitchen product manufacturers in France, Germany and Canada.  Products included Emile Henry pie dishes, Arcuisine Elegance baking dishes, Cuisipro baking and cooking utensils and Rösle food preparation tools.

Cuisipro Cherry Pitter

Cuisipro Cherry Pitter as seen in Fine Cooking

There are lots of ways to pit a cherry, and if you cook with cherries often, it’s worth buying a dedicated cherry pitting tool.  The hand-held Cuisipro Cherry Pitter model improves on the standard design by adding a shovel-like edge to the pitter, allowing for quick, one-handed scooping up and pitting of single cherries.

Better Homes and Gardens

Cuispro Silicone Paddle Whisk

The Cuisipro silicone paddle whisk was named “better tool” by Better Homes and Garden Magazine. This whisk doubles as a spatula, with flat silicon-coated wires that scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl or pan while whisking. It won’t scratch nonstick surfaces, is heat-resistant to 525 degrees F for stirring in hot pans, and can go straight into the dishwasher.

Compact Herb Keeper

The new Compact Cuisipro® Herb Keeper features a Delta shape and slimmer size to fit in small spaces and to hold a grocery store pack of herbs. This 8.75inches tall, 3.75 inches wide herb keeper stores and keeps fresh herbs fresh, in some cases up to two to three weeks longer then when stored in a bag or paper towel. Like a bunch of fresh flowers, herbs need fresh water, refrigeration and a little space to remain fresh, colourful and crisp.

The compact Cuisipro Herb Keeper is designed to fit in refrigerator door shelves and to hold a single grocery store pack of herbs. The Compact Herb Keeper holds half as much as the Larger Herb Keeper, which accommodates large grocery store or farm market sized bunches.

The knob on the lid makes it simple to lift up the suspended tray to fill the herb container with about 1” of water. Herb bunches are inserted into the slots on the tray. The suspended tray allows the herb stems to hydrate while the herb leaves are above the water, not in the water. The suspended tray also lifts up and out of the way so the container can be filled with fresh water easily and so herbs can be accessed.

The Herb Keeper is an economical smart kitchen storage tool to get the most out of fresh herbs when they are in season. Stalk vegetables like asparagus and celery also stay fresh and crisp in the Cuisipro Herb Keeper. Like water for fresh flowers, water in the Cuisipro Herb Keeper should be changed regularly. Cuisipro firmly stands behind its product with a 25-year warranty.
