The creative folks at Tovolo have come up with the latest way to make food prep fun-kitchen utensils that stand upright. Each Standz tool features an ergonomic, soft-grip handle with a flat base measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter, allowing it to stay upright on the countertop for several reasons: to eliminate germ transference between counter and tool, to keep drips and food particles off the counter, and to provide for quick grabbing. A cheerful complement to the handsome graphite-gray handle, the head of each tool is made of translucent polycarbonate in a bright color range, making the tool easy to find should it end up in a cluttered drawer.
The swiveling 18/10 stainless-steel blade on the tropical-green Tovolo Standz julienne peeler features one smooth side and sharp teeth on the other that slice a carrot, potato, or other food item into long, thin strips. Julienne, or "matchstick," strips are a great way to add garnish or zest to a salad, casserole, or dessert. A sharp knob on the side of the polycarbonate head can be used to dig eyes out of a potato or blemishes out of fruit. Measuring 5-3/4 by 2-1/2 inches, the peeler works more quickly than a knife for julienne-ing, and goes right into the dishwasher after use for carefree cleaning. --Ann Bieri
