The tending box - Parisienne Shaker metal / 50 cl - Steel

As gentle in its lines as it is rigorous in its design, The Tending Box is a new collection of utensils for preparing cocktails imagined by Giulio Iacchetti, on the advice of mixologist Oscar Quagliarini. The discipline's most classic utensils are reinterpreted here in a balanced synthesis of form and function: a shaker, a Colander, a Glass mixer, a Cocktail dispenser, a mixing spoon and a whisk, combining all the technical elements and sophisticated aesthetic details. The elements that make up The Tending Box are offered in two sets, to enable everyone to build, expand or rethink their personal mixology equipment.

In response to contemporary mixology trends, which favor the Parisian shaker over other types of shaker, Giulio Iacchetti reinterprets it here in the form of the "Parisienne", which sets a new standard in terms of ease of use. The gentle design of the top container contrasts with the sharp lines of the knob, creating balance in the composition and ensuring a better grip for the mixologist.

Made entirely from 18/10 Stainless steel, it comprises two parts: a lower container and a smaller upper container, topped by a knob. Capacity 50 cl.

Place the desired amount of ice in the large container and pour the cocktail ingredients into the small one, in the order indicated in the recipe. Nestle the small container into the large one, then hold the Shaker between your index and ring fingers. Shake obliquely up and down, then pause. Finally, finish by making a semicircle with the Shaker to help the mixture blend in smoothly. Open with the pommel, positioning the Shaker so that the contents remain in the larger of the two containers. Place the Colander over the container opening to catch ice and other residues when serving the cocktail.

The shape of the shaker and pommel makes for a firm, precise grip. During preparation, the knob of the small container acts as a base, keeping the work top clean. The tapered shape of the large container lends elasticity to the Steel, ensuring a perfect connection between the two containers. The large container can also be used as a handy Glass mixer with a mixing spoon.
