New Every spring, we are always on the lookout for new tools for the barbeque, and this year we’ve found these stainless steel tools from Cuisipro.

They are well priced, ruggedly made, and ready to work on your grill.
Made in the Muskokas, Timbers utensils are handcrafted out of maple and finished to the highest level of quality. They look like showpieces, but they are very functional and have a great feel in the hand.

With regular mineral oil rubs and hand washing, these will last a lifetime in your home.
New Keep food from spinning around on the grill with the GrillComb. Instead of a single skewer, multiple teeth hold food in place. To flip, grab the handle with a pair of tongs and the food stays in place. Made of stainless steel, it can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Grab a couple for smaller dinners, or more for larger parties.

The drip-free spout won’t make a mess, and unused dressing stores in the refrigerator for future use. 2 AAA batteries (not included) provide enough power for several batches.
New Mario Batali calls his new line of cutting boards “end grain”, named so because they are made entirely out of remnants from other teak products, and they are truly stunning to behold. The patchwork of wood ranges from dark chocolate to cappucino, and the 1.25” thick boards feel solid and strong. They’re available in a 12” square or round, and with some easy maintenance they’ll continue to look beautiful in your kitchen for years.
Steak knives should not only last a lifetime, but they should be good enough that you want to keep them that long.

The one-piece, full-tang construction is the same as many kitchen knives, promising quality from tip to handle.
