  • Answers to Do You Know Your Kitchen Equipment?
    Cardinal Ice Equipment, Inc. Cardinal Ice Equipment, Inc. 3311 Gilmore Industrial Blvd. 1315 Read Street Unit I Louisville, KY 40213 Evansville, IN 47710 T 502 966 4579 T 812 468 8550 F 502 966 4098 F 812 468 8560 Answers to Do You Know Your Kitchen Equipment? 1. Every good chef needs an assortment of knives at his disposal. What type of knife would be best suited for slicing up a loaf of sour dough? The correct answer is: Serrated knife While you could chop through bread with any of these, a serrated knife would work the best. The edge of a serrated knife is notched like a saw and that allows it to easily cut items which have a hard outer surface and a soft interior, like bread and tomatoes. These knives come in all sizes and the largest is also commonly known as a bread knife. 2. This special utensil is commonly used to remove the top part of the skin from fruit like oranges and lemons. The correct answer is: Zester The "zest" is the top portion of the peel from a citrus fruit. This tool allows for the easy removal of the aromatic, oily zest from the bitter pith of the peel. The zest is used for flavoring dishes or as a nice garnish for drinks. 3. Which of the following items listed below does not fit with the others? The correct answer is: Ricer While all of these utensils have small holes to process food through, only the ricer requires that the chef actually force the food by applying pressure.

  • West Bladetm Technology Revolutionizes Grating & Zesting
    Media Contact: Lisa Lochner [email protected] 516-740-6723 West BladeTM Technology Revolutionizes Grating & Zesting ─ Lifetime Brands, Inc. & Williams Sonoma Partner for Launch ─ Chicago, March 2017 ─ When it comes to grating and zesting, not much has changed in decades – until now. Lifetime Brands, Inc. and Williams Sonoma have partnered to introduce a new grater and zester blade technology called West Blade™. West Blade’s patented technology features tineless blades that allow you to grate in both directions. This also makes it easier to move soft and hard foods over the surface with minimal effort, helping to reduce time spent on food preparation. West Blade is available exclusively at Williams Sonoma. The West Blade Rotary Grater stands out from the crowd with its remarkable ability to shred soft foods like mozzarella cheese and hard boiled eggs, in addition to helping make quick work of hard cheeses and chocolate. It comes with two interchangeable grating barrels: a West Blade Coarse Shredder blade for soft cheese, and a West Blade Medium Flake Blade for shaving hard cheese or making chocolate curls. The gearing system operates with a smooth, easy-turning motion for fast and easy grating with maximum output. $49.95 The West Blade Zester helps to create fragrant, flavorful zest from the surface of citrus peels — without the bitter pith. It also works for grating ginger, hard cheese, and chocolate. The zester features ultra-sharp, stainless-steel etched blades and a soft-touch, nonslip handle helps provide a comfortable grip as you work. A protective cover is also included for safe storage.
