New Seasonal Buys – Kitchen Prep
Japanese Knife Company, Aus10 Collection Utility Knife
A favourite among home cooks who are more comfortable with smaller blades, this multi-purpose slicing or Sujihiki knife is an excellent choice. For the preparation of vegetables or the precise cutting of meat and fish. The slim profile of the blade presents a smaller area to fatty, oily, and starchy foods in contrast to a wider blade which creates a stronger vacuum and ‘sticks’ more to the food. Available in 2 sizes:135mm or 150mm blade. Priced £84 – £89, from Japanese Knife Company.
STAUB LA COCOTTE, Cast Iron Cocotte
The STAUB Cocotte is a 28cm Round Cast Iron oven dish, with black interior enamel, and is made in France. Perfect for slow cooking meats and vegetables, and simmering hearty soups and stews. The cast iron helps to heat evenly throughout the cooking process, and the innovative lid is made with tiny spikes to help release condensed liquid back onto the food. Can also be used to serve on the table, straight form the oven. Available in various colours and sizes (prices vary) image shown is Sesame. Priced at £389, from Zwilling.
