Essentiel de pâtisserie Spatula by Alessi

The « Essentiel de pâtisserie » collection consists of three indispensable instruments for the pastry chef's « panoply »: the Cul-de-poule mixing bowl, the Whisk and the Spatula, and a Plate for serving cake. Matali Crasset: "Chefs' tools are technical. I want to make them simple for the home cook and to have fewer of them".
This utensil combines two elements: a Whisk with elastic wires and a corolla equipped with rigid wires wrapped in silicone. In the flexible version, i.e. without the corolla, it can be employed for light operations, such as beating egg whites. With the corolla, on the other hand, the utensil becomes more rigid and can be used for thicker blends such as creams and pastes. Says matali «Bestowing two distinct uses on the same instrument is a way of simplifying and rationalising the work of the pastry chef. I have combined the archetypal form of the whisk with a corolla of vegetal inspiration».

Alessi Italian manufacturing soared to new heights in the 20^th century and one company is synonymous with this lofty ascent. Beginning with coffee sets and trays and by the 1950s collaborating with international architects and designers including Ettore Sottsass, Alessi gained international popularity with its first cult object designed by Richard Sapper in 1978. Linking the present to the past, Sapper designed an espresso coffee pot. Philippe Starck was soon to follow with the Juicy Salif lemon squeezer, which has found its way into the Whitney Collection in New York. In fact, Alessi products can be found in museums across the world. Innovation and experimentation are two keys to understanding Alessi’s success.
