Why make utensils with wood ?

We believe that when in contact with food, maple wood utensils do not alter the nutrients in food, making it healthier.

We believe that when in contact with food, maple wood utensils deliver the full flavour of food, making it tastier.

We believe that when in contact with food, maple wood utensils respect the nature of food, making it safer.

You may cut lettuce with our maple wood knife and chances are it will not turn brown like it does when it is cut with metal.

Have you tasted the difference between a dish cooked in a stainless steel pot and one in an enamel-coated pot?

Have you experienced putting a stainless steel utensil in a wine glass and after a few minutes the wine in undrinkable?

Why do chefs recommend rubbing your hands with a stainless steel object to eliminate odours from garlic, fish or other food?

We thought about these things and we decided that maple wood and food matters are a safe, healthy and natural marriage.

We hope you’ll join us in this celebration.

Stainless Steel

According to the dictionary, stainless steel prevents metal corrosion.The chromium included in stainless steel is a poweful oxidizing agent. By rubbing, it neutralizes in part and alters the nature of organic materials.

Components of Stainless Steel

To be classified in the stainless category, steel has to have at least 10% chromium, 17% nickel and less than 1.2% carbon. But, molybdemium and vanadium are sometimes included to increase resistance to corrosion.

Nickel is a source of allergy, '' The Science Press Agency'' reports that the allergies to nickel have passed from 14% in 1984 to 20% in 2003.

Chromium Compounds

Chromium compounds contain pyridinium chlorochromate and potassium dichromate, which are powerful oxidizing agents. Potassium dichromate is used for cleaning laboratory glassware to eliminate all organic materials.
