Knife
chesee
A cheese knife is a type of
kitchen knife specialized for the cutting of cheese. Different cheeses require
different knives, according primarily to hardness; most often "cheese
knife" refers to a knife designed for soft cheese.
Various non-knife devices are
used for cutting cheese, such as a wire cheese cutter, which completely avoids
adhesion, a cheese slicer, used primarily for thin slices of medium-hard
cheeses, used especially in Scandinavia for cutting cheese for sandwiches, and
the girolle, used to cut the hard Tête de Moine cheese by scraping.
SALAMANDER
A Salamander Grill, commonly
known as just a Salamander, is essentially a high temperature overhead grill
which is usually used for toasting, browning or even simply hot holding dishes
at a set temperature.
Available in gas or electric versions,
a salamander grill is a common sight in the professional kitchen, as it can
fulfil many different roles using relatively little space. Due to the design,
salamander grills are usually mounted directly on a wall or shelf, so that the
cooking is done at eye level – ideal for monitoring the cooking process.
FOOD
TONG
Tongs are a type of tool used
to grip and liftobjects instead of holding them directly with hands. There are
many forms of tongs adapted to their specific use. Some are merely large
pincers or nippers, but most fall into these few classes:
1. Tongs that have long arms terminating in
small flat circular ends of tongs and are pivoted at a joint close to the
handle used to handle delicate objects. Common fire-tongs, used for picking up
pieces of coal and placing them on a fire without burning fingers or getting
them dirty are of this type. Tongs for grilling, tongs for serving salad or
spaghetti are kitchen utensil of the same type. They provide a way to move,
rotate and turn the food with delicate precision, or fetch a full serving in
one grab.
2. Tongs consisting of a single band of
metalbent round one or two bands joined at the head by a spring, as in
sugar-tongs (a pair of usually silver tongs with claw-shaped or spoon-shaped
ends for serving lump sugar), asparagus-tongs and the like.
3. Tongs in which the pivot or joint is
placed close to the gripping ends are used to handle hard and heavy objects.
driller's round tongs, blacksmith's tongs or crucible tongs are of this type.
