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.

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.

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.

Rösle Tomato/Kiwi Peeler

ROSLE’s Tomato/Kiwi Peeler removes hard, thin skin from fruits and vegetables, like tomatoes, kiwis and mangos, cleanly and quickly. These vegetables typically require a cook to gouge into the fruit which sometimes results in a cook peeling away some of the fruit along with the skin. The 7.9-inch long Rosle Tomato/Kiwi Peeler features an extra sharp double blade that is both thin and serrated so it slides under the skin and easily peels the skin from the fruit. The peeler also features a sharpened corer to remove blemishes prior to peeling. Made of stainless steel, this durable, strong tool is dishwasher safe and includes a guard to protect the blade during storage.

Rosle Locking Tongs

Rosle presents stylish, commercial quality stainless steel locking tongs that are as sophisticated and upscale as they are effective making them a workhorse tool for the BBQ and kitchen and a delicate serving tool for the buffet or table.

Part of the beauty is the simplicity of the locking mechanism. Turn the tongs down and lightly squeeze — the tongs gently open. Turn the tongs up and lightly squeeze – the tongs gently close.

The scalloped heads of the tongs are curved so they grip and hold foods better then most tongs with scalloped flat heads. The sleek stainless steel handles are well balanced for kitchen and serving applications. The tongs are manufactured entirely of 18/10 stainless steel and feature the Rosle trademark style of blending finishes to give both contour and depth to the product. The handles feature a soft matt finish and the tong blades feature a high polish finish.
