Essentials

DLM Grill Pan
Our DLM Grill Pan is made for us by an Italian manufacturing company, Risoli, which is known for quality and great designs. It has a non-stick surface for easy grilling and cleanup; raised grill lines to keep food out of the oil; a drip lip which allows for easy pouring; and a stainless steel handle, to allow for cooktop to oven cooking. The pan features a warp-resistant base for constant and uniform heat distribution over the entire cooking surface, and is suitable for gas, electric, and glass-ceramic cookers and ovens. It is scratch-resistant due to internal and external DuPont coatings, and is able to reach high cooking temperatures within three minutes. This pan is ideal for cooking healthy, tasty, and natural food, with little oil or fat.

Eco-Cloth
Eco-Cloth is perfect for cleaning with just the addition of water. Besides saving time and money, it provides exceptional cleaning in removing dirt and grease. The glass and polishing cloth gives a smear-free cleaning and is great on stainless steel and chrome. The general-purpose cloth is large enough for wood, granite, tiles, and other hard surfaces. Just wash and reuse on the next cleaning day.

TruBAMBOO Cutting Boards
This unique bamboo cutting board is hand-crafted and beautifully designed, using hundreds of bamboo strips. Bamboo absorbs very little moisture and consequently does not swell or shrink as much as traditional wood cutting board surfaces. It is 16% harder than maple, which means fewer visible knife marks, making it more durable and keeping the cutting board looking brand new for years to come. Many people use one side of the board for cutting, and the other side for serving appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, fruits and other foods. Bamboo is easy to maintain by washing in mild detergent in warm water, and periodically wiping with mineral oil to bring out the beautiful grain of the bamboo. Light knife marks can even be sanded away.

WMF Kitchen Utensils
WMF is short for Wurtembergische Metallwarenfabrik, the name of a German company that produces these innovative, functional utensils. These exquisite products are made from only the best materials and finished to the highest standards of craftsmanship. The best German engineers and designers use technologically-advanced production methods meaning that WMF sets the standard that others have to follow. If you enjoy cooking and eating well, (and we know you do because you shop at DLM!) then WMF is a great choice for you. Quality, practical kitchen utensils help to make the work easy and enjoyable.
