Flat Graters

The Surface Glide Technology is a patent pending technology exclusive to Cuisipro. “This new technology is really the biggest advancement in kitchen grating technology in about 10 years when the photo etched blade was first adapted for kitchen use,” explains, Tara Steffen, marketing director, Cuisipro USA. “The photo etched blade made kitchen graters sharp. The Surface Glide Technology takes the photo etched blade a step further and makes the graters sharp and more productive — grating more with less effort.”

The science behind Super Glide Technology is based in the repeated grooved pattern that is spread evenly across the face of the grating surface. The grooves provide 2 distinct benefits beyond other graters. First, the groove reduces resistance, making grating effortless. Second, the elongates groove shape lengthens each individual blade, so each blade has a greater cutting surface that comes in contact with food, therefore producing more gratings per stroke.

Each grater is designed to provide the best grip possible for safe grating. The rasps and flat graters each have an ergonomic shaped handle with non-slip finish and non-slip ends that allow for grating stability. The box grater has a non-slip handle and base and the dual grater features non-slip ends.

Rasps

The rasps and flat graters include a snap on, clear protective cover. When the protective cover is snapped on the back of the grater, it doubles as a container to catch grated ingredients. The cover features both U.S. and metric measurements. The box grater includes a bonus ginger grater that shreds fresh ginger root while leaving unwanted fibers behind.

The rotary grater includes two interchangeable blades: coarse and parmesan, as well as a wide hopper to handle large chunks of cheese and a a non-slip grip handle.

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.

Emile Henry Flame-Top Stewpot

Celebrate the French Revolution and Bastille Day on July 14 with a French Garden Party with some simple French alfresco foods: a French baguette, a fresh green salad, and shrimp on the barbecue. Make the meal authentic with a pot of beans and vegetables simmered slow on the grill in an Emile Henry Flame-Top pot.

Bastille Day is the French national holiday that commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution and the storming of the Bastille. Celebrated in France in much the same way that Americans celebrate Independence Day on July 4th.

Flame-Top cookware is made of a flameproof ceramic. It is designed to go directly on a heat source; gas flame, an electric or halogen stove, even a barbecue grill. Flame-Top cookware is much lighter, 30%, than comparable metal cookware and yet it is a heavy duty, durable workhorse. It is microwave and dishwasher-safe where metal cookware is not. Its’ surface cleans up easily and it is so durable that a cook can cut directly in the cookware – even with an electric knife without fear of scratching, chipping or cracking the surface. Flame-Top goes under the broiler and directly from a freezer or refrigerator into a hot oven.

Take summer entertaining by storm with this French cookware. To find out more about Flame-Top watch our Flame-Top Cookware video with Jacques Henry, President of Emile Henry.
