Chef Sampler Utensils

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Tastall Spoon is Indented for a Mouthful of a Cooking Meal

— October 8, 2011 — Art & Design
Food preparation is a messy enough activity that reducing the need for more crockery and cutlery is in the best interest of the dish washer -- perhaps the same person who put supper together. The Tastall Spoon is ideal for those sneaky nibbles of the cooking meal so that the chef need not pull out another eating utensil.

Designed as a recognizable wooden mixing spoon, this implement differs in the way it has been cut and carved. Its form is asymmetrical, neither oval nor ellipse, shaped with a smoothed corner so that someone can sip from the side. Within that corner of the Tastall Spoon there is a bite-sized indentation acting as a spoon within a spoon. Ernest Perera's design was executed by Ferran Fontas who even gave it the ability to act as a dull-edged knife as well.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-functional Utensils - Opportunity to create more utensils that serve multiple purposes to reduce the need for extra crockery and cutlery.
2. Asymmetrical Utensil Design - Designing kitchen utensils with asymmetrical shapes that feature unique functionalities.
3. Innovative Cooking Tools - Creating innovative cooking tools that cater to the needs of chefs and reduce the need for excessive utensils and crockery.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Innovative designs and functionality in kitchenware can appeal to consumers looking for unique and practical products.
2. Food Tech - Developing new tools and utensils to aid in food preparation can appeal to chefs and home cooks alike.
3. Eco-friendly Products - Utensils with multi-purpose functionality can reduce the need for extra crockery and cutlery, appealing to environmentally-conscious consumers.
