GARNISHES

Paprika
This very old tool originated in France centuries ago and is still used by chefs today. It is used to create a ripple design in harder vegetables such as beets, carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, radishes and turnips. This will add some interest to salads, deep fried potatoes and many appetizers by making the waffle or krinkle design to the vegetables. Merely use this tool as you would any other knife to cut the various veggies into quarter inch slices. Parboil the extremely hard vegetables such as carrots and beets to make them easier to slice.

Spiral Slicer
This fun tool was invented in the 1920's right in America. It is
used to make decorative coiled-up spiral ribbons out of vegetables such as
beets, carrots, potatoes or radishes. These
ribbons are both clever and attractive and
really add color to meat platters or bland one-color vegetables. You can also add some fun and incentive to get
your youngsters to eat their vegetables.
Melon Ball Scoop
This scoop is used to make nice round balls
from all kinds of melons. By using a
double scoop you get two sizes. For larger balls, use a metal ice
cream scoop. It also use the melon ball scoop to
remove some of the pulp when hollowing
out a vegetable or fruit even if I'm not trying to
create a round ball.

Vegetable Peeler
Many vegetables require peeling
prior to using in a garnish. The
vegetable peeler makes neat and quick work in
removing the peel from potatoes,
carrots or beets.

Food Decorator Tool
This tool is the most modern and probably the most used tool in the group aside from the knife. It was designed to make quick work of larger centerpieces such as the watermelon basket that I'm sure you are familiar with. However, it works equally well on tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, oranges,
lemons, limes, grapefruit and any assortment of melons. It cuts a saw
blade or tooth-like edge while actually separating the fruit or
vegetable. It has a second function at the top of the handle called the
strip cutter that will cut out narrow strips of peeling giving a two-tone
look to the finished product. A third function of this tool allows you to
"score" a vegetable such as carrots with the jagged edges of the tool by
scraping it in a downward stroke with a little pressure.
