A long time ago when people lit charcoal to cook, they used a fan to adjust the fire. However he sparks flying from the Shichirin (Japanese Charcoal Grill), would make the fan made of Japanese paper burn easily. This Shibu-Uchiwa (渋うちわ) is coated with Kakishibu varnish (persimmon tannins), made by squeezing and fermenting persimmons that are unripe. By applying Kakishibu varnish, the Japanese paper of the fan becomes stronger, and it is hard to tear and burn, so it is often pair  with Shichirin and Binchotan charcoal.

Materials: Washi Paper and Bamboo Kakishibu with a Persimmon varnish.

From the publisher:

Delicious and beautiful recipes from Martha Stewart’s personal salad chef and the self-proclaimed “Bob Ross of salads.”

Offering more than 100 inspired recipes, recipe developer and food stylist Jess Damuck shares her passion for making truly delicious salads. Salad Freak encourages readers to discover and embrace their own salad obsessions. With the right recipes, you will want to eat salad for every meal and never get bored. By playfully combining color, texture, shape, and, of course, flavor, Damuck demonstrates how a little extra effort in the kitchen can be meditative, delicious, and fun. The recipes—such as her Citrus Breakfast Salad; Tea-Smoked Chicken and Bitter Greens Salad; Caesar Salad Pizza Salad; and Roasted Grapes, Ricotta, Croutons, and Endive Salad—are meant to be hearty enough for a meal all year round but versatile enough to be incorporated into a larger menu. For Damuck, the perfect salad balances each bite, with something tart enough to twinge your cheeks, something sweet to balance out the bitter, and something with a little salty crunch to finish. Salad Freak is not just about eating to feel good; it’s about confidently combining flavors to create fresh, bright, and satisfying meals that you will want to make again and again.

Volume: 1 Table Spoon (1/2 oz)
Handle Length: 155mm
Weight: 55g

A custom utility spoon stamped and finished by hand, designed for control and consistency.

The well is formed deep to cradle liquid - one tablespoon exactly, to help with recipe continuity and reduce the amount of tools needed on hand - and pointed at the tip for precise pouring or basting. The handle is long enough to stir a braise or a pot of beans, and nimble enough to sauce a plate or scrape the corners of a rondeau or quart container. Inspired by the worn and tarnished steel often found at flea markets, and modeled after old American and European silhouettes the spoon is tumbled and unpolished. This creates a matte and imperfect material finish, unique to each piece.  

Packaging is constructed with recycled chipboard.

Material: Kiri Wood (Paulownia).

Notes: While technically a hardwood, Kiri Wood is particularly soft on knife edges. It is extremely light, resistant to decay, and has an even higher strength to weight ratio than balsa wood. Kiri Wood's lightweight makes it ideal for taking on hikes, picnics, camping, or simply as an everyday board. Due to its low density and low hardness, it is not advised to be used for heavy-duty work like butcher cleaving, sawing, or forceful impacts. Native to East Asia.

Care: Wash with warm, soapy water, only using something scrubby or abrasive when needed, otherwise use the soft-side of a sponge or simply a towel or rag. Wipe as dry as possible. Once fully dry, store flat if possible. Use food-safe oil or wax blend when the board feels dry, you do not need to constantly oil. Do not let soak. At your discretion you can use a fairly high-grit sandpaper to condition the surface to remove discoloration and maring; oil afterwards.

Disclaimer: These cutting boards are made out of single or 2-3 pieces of natural lumber  and could warp over time, it is a natural aspect of raw wood. We do not accept returns for warped boards.
