A Glossary of Kitchen Tools
What tool for which job? That's the beginning cook's dilemma. Using the right equipment will help to ensure a successful cooking result. Good kitchen tools are to a home cook what a well-supplied toolbox is to a carpenter. A pot wouldn't be used to fry an egg, just as a saw would be the wrong tool for driving a nail into wood.Use this directory of cutlery, cookware and accessories to sort out the best tools for your daily kitchen tasks, as well as for your more complicated cooking projects.
Cutlery

What is the difference between a garlic press and a garlic peeler, a basting brush and a pastry brush, a sushi mat and a rice paddle? We have the answers.
