You might ask, "What's a tool, and how can a cooking lab be about tools?"
A tool is anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or a purpose. Therefore, your kitchen has a terrific number of tools -- and the kitchen shops have many more gadgets to consider!
Obviously, you are aware that a kitchen requires some basic tools such as knives, cutting boards, and dishes. Each knife of various sizes is specialized to some extent: bread knife, carving knife, paring knife, cleaver, chef's knife, table knife, butter knife, cheese knife, and so on.
A variety of specialized tools make meal preparation easier.
Ring mold - a round open metal ring used for shaping food
Other shapes such as hearts can be purchased. For example, pancake batter can be poured into a pan that has a mold in it; the batter forms the shape of the mold.
Melon baller - a utensil that allows a round circular ball of food to be scooped from a fruit such as a melon
Cookie cutters - shapes such as stars or crescents that allow you to cut a series of shapes usually from cookie dough
Cookie cutters can be used to cut the bases of canapes from bread and to cut fruits or vegetables.
Wave cutters - also called fluted edge cutters; wonderful for cutting vegetables or cheese in attractive wavy pieces
Paring knife - an invaluable basic tool for making vegetable flowers and crudites
The knife should be sharp for best results.
