When I attended the International Home & Housewares show this year, I got the opportunity to meet the representatives from Tovolo. I feel in love with this brand right away. I love sharing with my readers ways that they can add a bit of color to their home décor without breaking the bank. These products are going to inspire you this Spring to add a couple of pieces to your home and make your time in the kitchen so much more fun.
Kitchen and baking tools has always been something I’m really particular about. It has to be sturdy, comfortable to the grip, safe to use and more importantly look beautiful. I admit i’m one of those who buys with my eyes.
Tovolo is a brand that i have been using for awhile now. I know how important a kitchen tool can be. There are times where you just step into a foreign kitchen and nothing is suitable for you and that make me mad. More importantly, the right tool gets the job done more efficiently and what’s better when they work the way they are suppose to work, looks the part and who doesn’t love it when they come in such fashionable colors?
I love how sweet the colors are. And for me, all my kitchen tools are blue.
I want to start the Tovolo Comfort Grip Knife set. It includes three of their great knives: the Chef’s Knife, Prep Knife and the Slicing Knife. Each knife features a high-carbon, stainless steel blade and comes with a protective cover. They have handles specially designed for comfort and the knives can go in the dishwasher after use.
I love the Prep Knife. Not only is it a nice knife, but it also has holes that serve as an herb stripper. The 5 inch blade works great for chopping herbs and small vegetable.
The Slicing Knife also has a 5 inch blade, but it functions differently than the Prep Knife. This knife is specially designed for slicing meat and poultry. It is easy to control the blade so you can make super thin slices.
The Chef’s Knife is very unique and features a long 8.5 inch blade. This allows you to chop large vegetables with ease. It has a slightly less bulky shape than other chef’s knives I have used, which actually makes for a better motion.
PARING KNIFE: Firstly, I loved the grip on this product. Thanks to the secure and comfortable grip of this paring knife, I no longer need to worry about that. This 3.5″ knife offers precision cuts while its small size makes it perfect for picnics or lunch boxes. It is great for peeling and dicing fruits or vegetables. This knife is made of a high-carbon stainless steel and stores away in a protective blade cover.
Each of the Comfort Grip Knives is designed to be multi-purpose and versatile. The comfort grips keep your hands from hurting while you chop away. The incredibly sharp blades are kept safe in a plastic sheath when not being used. This prevents injury and keeps your blades from dulling.
I also want to share other great products.
KING CUBE AND PERFECT CUBE TRAYS: I received the King Cube Tray( Green) and the Perfect Cube Tray(Blue). The king tray makes 2″ cubes while the perfect tray makes 1.25″. Personally, I felt that 2″ was a bit too much, I really do not need cubes that big, and some of those large cubes had trouble fitting into some of my beverages. One thing I did like about both products was the material they were made out of: Silicone. Plastic can leak harmful chemicals into your products, e.g. plastic ice trays can leak toxins into your ice. Silicone is a great alternative that keeps you and your family as healthy as possible. However, silicone does not make ice melt any slower; in fact, nothing but the temperature will affect how quickly ice melts. I felt that the King Cube was really perfect for high-end, stylish beverages. For example, big cubes look great in ice teas and cocktails. This is the perfect tray for someone who loves to throw parties. There is only one way to properly entertain: with style. Giant ice cubes can make a statement that regular ice cubes just can’t. These ice cubes look fabulous in drinks at parties, graduations, and other social events. For the more homey, there is the Perfect Cube. These cubes are crisp and stylish but more for everyday use. They make ordinary refreshments extraordinary. The Perfect Cube adds class to any drink with its chic alternative to traditional cubes. These stylish cubes make a refreshing addition to lemonade and ice tea. For both trays, be sure to wash with a diluted solution of vinegar and water when necessary. Like to spice things up? Try adding fruit, berries, or mint leaves to your ice. Tovolo gives you the power to make every aspect of your party your own.
ICE CREAM SCOOP: This product is heavy. I have never felt an ice cream scoop that felt like this one. Its weight is what really makes this a smarter scoop. Its weight allows it to scoop up even the coldest of ice creams with ease. No need to use your silverware when this sturdy scoop is around! What is really unique about this product are its feet. Its feet never tip over or tilt. What they do is allow the head of the scoop to stay off your counter; thereby, keeping it clean. No more sticky messes! The resting feet elevate the scoop is something I have never seen before. It is totally unique, creative, and innovative. Plus, the design of the scoop helps you create beautiful looking bowls of ice cream, This scoop will be the envy of your friends.
