Summer days are winding down and with that, we’re leaving the world of outdoor patio dining and getting back into the kitchen. Our friends at Kuhn-Rikon have an ever-growing collection of cookware, and these three essentials are sure to come in handy on a daily basis.
KOCHBLUME® Spill Stopper
Kuhn-Rikon designed this nifty gadget to prevent spills on your stove, so the next time you boil some pasta or prepare a hearty soup, you don’t have to worry about clean-up. If contents boil over, the petals at the center of the stopper will lift, so that excess liquid will spill into the bowl and slide back into the pot.
If you have a small lid, you can place items on the spill stopper as you’re cooking and the heat from the pot will steam the food above!
The KOCHBLUME® Spill Stopper can handle heat up to 200°C (400°F) and fits pots and pans from 15 to 25 cm (6” to 10”) in diameter. The silicon material will get hot so you definitely will want a potholder when handling it.
It’s also both microwave and dishwasher-safe, has a two-year warranty and comes in red, green, black and orange. USD $24
Vase Grinder
This adjustable grinder is ideal for salt, pepper, dried herbs, spices and flax seeds. The vase design grinds at the top instead of traditional bottom grinders, so counters and dining tables stay clean.
The dial adjusts for fine to coarse grinding and the grinder is easy to refill via the screw top. We like the quality glass ceramic build and simple design.
Available in black; USD $22
Silicone Rainbow Whisk
We’ve been fans of Kuhn-Rikon whisks for years and the silicon rainbow whisk not only matches everything in the kitchen but has a solid feel in the hand. The silicon-coated whisk is great for non-stick surfaces while the brushed stainless steel handle has a small hook for hanging in the kitchen.
This rainbow balloon whisk is heat-resistant up to 232°C (450°F) and is dishwasher safe. It comes in two sizes: 8″ and 10″, priced at USD $18 and $22 respectively. Visit Kuhn-Rikon online for more info.
