5. Garnishing Knife • This very old tool originated in France centuries ago and is still used by chefs today. It is used to create a ripple design in harder vegetables such as beets, carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, radishes and turnips. This will add some interest to salads, deep fried potatoes and many appetizers by making the waffle or krinkle design to the vegetables. Merely use this tool as you would any other knife to cut the various veggies into quarter inch slices. Parboil the extremely hard vegetables such as carrots and beets to make them easier to slice.

You can also add some fun and incentive to get your youngsters to eat their vegetables. Spiral Slicer

12. This tool is the most modern and probably the most used tool in the group aside from the knife. It was designed to make quick work of larger centerpieces such as the watermelon basket that I'm sure you are familiar with. However, it works equally well on tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit and any assortment of melons. It cuts a saw blade or tooth-like edge while actually separating the fruit or vegetable. It has a second function at the top of the handle called the strip cutter that will cut out narrow strips of peeling giving a two-tone look to the finished product. A third function of this tool allows you to "score" a vegetable such as carrots with the jagged edges of the tool by scraping it in a downward stroke with a little pressure. Food Decorator Tool
