Why It's Cool: Outfit a kitchen with 6 of the best Cool Tools around for a great price!

We are often asked: “What Cool Tools does someone need to set up a new kitchen?" Whether it’s a new homeowner, a young person’s first apartment, an AirBNB, or a refresh to some tired kitchen tools, certain basics are necessary. There are a lot of Cool Tools that we love and, frankly, there are many that we would be hard-pressed to cook without, but for a starter set you really can’t do much better than the Ultimate Set of the Best from Dreamfarm. The Ultimate Set includes many of their Cool Tools that we use everyday, in a convenient set, all at an attractive price.

Details

What‘s in it, you ask, and why should I choose this? Well, let’s start with the Dreamfarm philosophy (very similar to ours at Colbrook Kitchen): these are products that solve problems. These are multiple award-winning basic tools, reimagined in clever, not-so-basic ways. Here are some examples:

Cooking Spoons (1 large and 1 small): There are a lot of choices out there, but these by Dreamfarm have several features that set them apart:

Flat flexible ends to make scraping and stirring so much easier (the small spoon also is the ultimate last drop scraper to get everything out of your jar or can),
Measurements in the spoon cup so you don’t have to reach for another tool, and
Shaped with a bend in the handle so that the spoon head doesn’t rest on your counter, keeping both the spoon and your counter cleaner

Turner/Spatula: Again, a basic tool, reimagined. Here’s how:

Thin enough to slide under any food with ease,
Non-stick pan friendly,
Has both a flat edge and a raised edge, so your food won’t fly off the other side,
Flexible enough to leap tall pan sides and still slide under your food (all in a single bound!),
Firm sharp edge to chop ground meat in a pan, and
Sits up off the counter, so neither your counter nor your spatula trade dirt/germs.

Peeler: What’s more basic (and more essential) than a peeler? … but once again…reimagined:

A built-in, slide-up (so you don’t lose it) cover to protect your fingers from the blade when you reach into your drawer,
A ceramic ball inside the slide-up cover that hones (sharpens) your blades every time you open or close the cover, and
Ambidextrous (usable by right- or left-handed people)

Tongs: Think of tongs as the extension of your fingers, that can take the heat. Use it to grab an egg out of boiling water or turn a pork chop in a pan (without piercing the crust you’re working so hard to maintain). We tend to favor tongs that take only one hand to open or close, because, hey, it’s just easier. So these tongs:

Need only one hand to lock or unlock them,
Are heat safe to 480°F / 250°C,
Have a flat edge to pick up small things and a waffle head for efficient serving, and
Sit either head up off the counter or rest securely over the edge of your pan.

Strainer: This is the “tongs alternative” tool we use when we want to remove lots of small things (pasta, peas, etc) or delicate things (e.g. poached eggs) from hot liquid (like water, soup or frying oil). And these unique features make this an even more useful tool:

There is a an indentation in the bottom of the scoop that catches drips to keep your counters clean,
The edge of the scoop is flexible, making it easier to reach into all sides of your pan or pot,
The shape and capacity make it easy to scoop out a lot at once, saving you time and effort, and, of course,
The now familiar Dream Farm bend keeps the scoop head up off your counters to keep everything cleaner.

This is truly a brilliant collection of basic tools, reimagined to make your kitchen life easier. And by buying the set, you’re also saving money: this is a $67 value if bought separately. Outfit a kitchen with 6 of the best Cool Tools around for a great price!
