Pedrini Black & Satin 5-Piece Deluxe Kitchen Starter Set

Too striking to keep hidden in a drawer, these four Italian-made kitchen tools stand upright on display in their own sturdy wooden base. Hard-working and stylish at the same time, the double-lever corkscrew, butterfly can opener, nut/lobster cracker, and garlic press are made of a heavy-duty, satin-finish metal with black rubber grips. Tempered steel wheels on the can opener slice through tops with ease. The tools are graduated in height; the tallest tool, the corkscrew, stands 9 inches high when set in the wooden base, which measures 8-3/4 by 2-1/2 by 1-1/2 inches. This set will please any cook equipping a new kitchen. --Ann Bieri (Amazon)
