Over 100 New Epicurean Boards, Tools and More

Epicurean Flower Trivet Epicurean BBQ Salver

Epicurean makes fantastic cutting boards. They became famous for their boards because they are extremely durable, environmentally friendly, dishwasher safe and light-weight. If you are in the market for a new cutting board Epicurean is definitely worth looking at. Something else worth looking at is Epicurean's fantastic new line of tools! Like the Trivets and Coasters. Epicurean Trivets come in three different styles, Flower (pictured top left), Curve and Star, and each style has different color combinations. Epicurean coasters come in three different colors and they may be the best surface protecting coasters on the market. Epicurean Saute Tools, Turners and Spoons are must haves if you have any nonstick cookware. They are made from renewable and natural materials and won't scratch your pots and pans. The Epicurean Food Scrapers are pretty indispensable as well. If you ever work with pastry dough or need to chop and scoop some quick veggies this is the tool for you. Lastly, I'll recommend Epicurean's BBQ Salver (pictured bottom left). All of Epicurean's boards are great, but this one is exceptional for all types of grilling enthusiasts. This board allows you to have your tools, a beverage, and some sauces or seasonings always close at hand while at the grill. It comes in Grey and Red and includes a removable 15" x 11" Kitchen Series cutting board. If you are going to eat outside, this board is great for grabbing your meat off the grill, placing it on your board and slicing it up right there. You can also remove the board inside, chop your veggies, then carry them out to the grill to be cooked or placed on things like burgers and brats. Shop all Epicurean HERE

Deco Wraps

We've got some new cupcake wrappers! Deco Wraps come in 18 different styles that are perfect for any occasion. Party Hats & Cupcakes are ideal for birthdays, Party Animals wrappers (shown middle left) make baby shower cupcakes irresistible, and Elegant wrappers compliment wedding cupcakes beautifully. If none of those events are in your near future then focus on Halloween. Adding Jack-O-Lantern wrappers (shown bottom left) to your cupcakes along with something from our Halloween decorations department will make your party unforgettable. Deco Wraps are very easy to use and they adjust to fit any size cupcake. They are made in the USA with high-quality paper and are specially designed to be just the right size, not too tall, not too short, so as not to mess up your cupcake's icing. Another great thing about Deco Wraps is their line of Kid-friendly cupcake wrappers. Available in 4 varieties, Color-Me Cupcake Wrappers (shown below) are made without color, and are the perfect addition to any child's birthday party. Kids love coloring and customizing these cupcake wrappers in their own way with markers, crayons or paint. Happy Creatures Sea Life Cars & Trucks Pets Shop all Deco Wraps HERE

Autumn is right around the corner!

This year feels like it has flown by so far and now that Fall is coming up quickly it's time to start thinking about baking. If you're into cupcakes, Meri Meri has a great Thanksgiving Cupcake Kit (pictured left). It includes 24 cupcake liners in 2 designs and 24 toppers in 2 designs. Pumpkin cupcakes would be the perfect fit for this kit and will delight any recipient. If you want to avoid thinking about Thanksgiving right now and focus on something more present tense, take a look at Lucks' School Assortment Dec-Ons. You can throw a back to school party for your kids and their friends and use these dec-ons on top of your cupcakes or cake. Maybe you'll get the chance to pass a slice of cake or a cupcake along to a teacher as well. For all the wonderful Fall Cake Decorations available at Chef Tools, click HERE.

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.
