Pedrini ErgoSoft Prep Tool Set

Product Review

Like a master carpenter, an expert cook appreciates the value of having the right tool for a task. These four Italian-made tools equip a cook with everything needed to properly prep vegetables and fruits. There's a 3-inch paring knife, a peeler with a brush on the back of its head for scrubbing away grit, a 5-inch zucchini corer, and a tomato slicer that will handle tomatoes up to 5 inches wide. The heads and blades of the tools are made of stainless steel. Their handles are formed of tough but lightweight plastic to ease strain, and their soft rubber insets provide a firm grip even when wet. All the tools are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
