Kaiser Bakeware

Kaiser Bakeware is Europe's largest manufacturer of quality bakeware for the home baker. At Chef Tools, we carry over 150+ Kaiser cake pans, cookie cutters, baking tools and more. If you have never used a Kaiser pan before, one of the first things you will notice is how evenly their pans heat. This gives you beautifully (and evenly) browned cookies, cakes, bread and pizza. Besides offering up quality baking pans, Kaiser is probably best known for inventing the springform pan. They developed the springform concept and, from there, expanded a standard pan into a variety of shapes, sizes, and mold textures. For the home baker, the La Forme Plus line of baking pans may seem a bit pricey, but you have to take into account the results and longevity you will get from a La Forme Plus pan. A Kaiser La Forme Plus pan comes with a 10 year warranty and is made with the latest nonstick technology. They also feature a tough, scratch-proof enamel surface that you can use utensils and sharp knives on without damage. A La Forme Plus pan is a relatively small investment when you compare it to the outstanding return you get each and every day you use it. Another great line of bakeware under the Kaiser brand is the Specialty Bakeware collection. In it you will find Bake & Take pans which feature a tight-fitting, removable lid with handles. These pans are ideal for bringing a fresh loaf of bread, batch of cookies or cupcakes, or a homemade pizza with you to your next event. The Specialty Bakeware line also features braided pans. These pans come with a recipe booklet and will add an amazing "braid" effect to your baked goods. Shop all Kaiser Bakeware here

Essential Kitchen Tools

Cooking can be fun, but it can also be very stressful. We've found that simple things like a good chef's knife, a thermometer, and a pair of tongs help make cooking stress-free. We've learned that there's nothing more satisfying than the ability to dice, slice, and chop with ease. There's nothing more comforting than knowing for sure that your food is cooked to the proper temperature. And there's nothing like the feeling you get when you have the right tool for the task. That's why we've put together a list of Essential Kitchen Tools. On this list you'll find more than what has been mentioned above. You will find thorough descriptions and tool recommendations within each category. You will find quick link access to different departments and tools on our website. Most of all, we hope you find that our selection inspires you to start a collection of Essential Kitchen Tools in your own home. See our selection of Essential Kitchen Tools

Gluten Free

a few Gluten Free pastas

We've just added a Gluten Free department to our web site! We know how important accessibility to Gluten Free foods is to people that need to or want to avoid gluten. In our Gluten Free Foods department we've got a great selection of corn and rice pastas. Il Macchiaiolo pastas are delicious, gourmet pastas from the Piedmont region of Italy. They are made in small batches which ensures homemade quality and maximum freshness. We've also got some sweets in our Gluten Free department. Primo Pan Gluten Free Cookies make a great snack. They are crunchy, light, and contain top-quality ingredients from small farms in the surrounding area of Battifollo in Italy. Primo Pan Biscotti Cookies are also a delicious Gluten Free indulgence from Battifollo. Finally, we have Corn Couscous and Corn & Rice Couscous. If you've never used couscous it's very easy to get used to. It cooks in boiling water, just like rice, and is a great side-dish replacement for rice. Shop our Gluten Free department

Not Just Any Old Box Grater

Here's a great new tool. The Cuisipro 4-Sided Box Grater with Ginger Grater Base combines razor sharp blades with a comfort grip handle. It feels great in your hand, but it performs better than you would expect. It has surface glide technology which makes it a lot easier for the average person to grate cheese, potatoes and vegetables. The removable base doubles as a ginger grater and the corners of the Cuisipro Box Grater have calibrated dry measuring marks. It's another great innovation from a company that has been making impressive products for years, with many more to come.

NEW Premium Teas from Tienxi

Premium Matcha Green Tea Powder from Tienxi

The Tienxi Tea Company imports some of the finest handcrafted teas from China and Taiwan. And they have just added two new varieties to their product line. The first, Tienxi's Matcha Green Tea Powder (pictured left), is a 100-gram bag of premium powdered green tea. It gives you the many health benefits of green tea (like EGCGs), but one of the most surprising things about this products is the taste. Simply add 1-gram of the Matcha Powder to 250ml of water and shake with ice in a cocktail-type shaker and enjoy. It is also pretty delicious as a hot tea. The second new item from Tienxi is their Hand-Picked Premium Jasmine Pearl Tea, available in a 2-oz, 4-oz, and 8-oz variety.

But, in addition, we at the offices all agreed that Tienxi's Jasmine Pearl tea is the best Jasmine tea we've ever tasted. It's fragrance and taste are simply unbeatable.
