Kuhn Rikon HotPan http://iwww.koshereye.com/koshereye-kitchen-tool-of-the-week/2463-kuhn-rikon-hotpan.html http://iwww.koshereye.com/koshereye-kitchen-tool-of-the-week/2463-kuhn-rikon-hotpan.html

The HotPan, a product of the 70 year old Swiss Cookware-maker Kuhn Rikon is unique in design and function. The design seals in flavor, moisture and temperature. The pans consist of two separate pieces--a stainless steel cooking pot, and a colorful melamine outer shell that acts as an insulator and a decorative serving sleeve. When the sleeve is slipped over the cooking pot, when the pot is off the flame, the food maintains its temperature for a much longer time than in an ordinary pot. We love this feature. It makes the HotPan perfect for serving on Friday nights -foods such as soup, rice, mashed potatoes and vegetables stay warm!

  • More flavorful cooking, double walled lid
  • Colorful outer shell provides a stylish presentation
  • Solid stainless steel cooking pot is very efficient
  • Easy cleanup
  • No burning or sticking
  • Food stays fresh & hot for up to two hours
  • The melamine shell can also be used as a salad or serving bowl
  • Choose from changeable sleeves: blue, green, red, orange, white, black
  • Available in various sizes from one quart and larger

Priced from $111.00. To purchase, click here.

Kuhn Rikon Egg Separator http://iwww.koshereye.com/koshereye-kitchen-tool-of-the-week/2443-kuhn-rikon-egg-separator.html http://iwww.koshereye.com/koshereye-kitchen-tool-of-the-week/2443-kuhn-rikon-egg-separator.html
Most cooks go through dozens and dozens of eggs at Passover. Instead of fishing out stray shells and getting those drops of yolks into the whites, this little gadget offers an easy solution. It is a handy tool for separating egg yolks and whites in a hurry. The Kuhn Rikon Egg Separator has two containers, color-coded for convenience, one for whites and one for yolks. Crack an egg into the separator and watch the whites fall away as the yolk stays. The containers easily clasp together with the use of the separator. It is ideal for bakers in need of separating eggs for use in meringues and sponge cakes and great for health conscious cooks for dishes such as egg white omelets.
  • Store the unused yolks for later
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Dimensins: 3¾" x 4"
  • Plastic container for storage
