Profile Line utensils
For the budding chef, Brabantia offers two particularly useful items from its Profile Line designed to make turning the sausages hassle-free!   Recently introduced heat resistant (to 280º C) silicone kitchen tongs are perfect for cooking indoors or out, while the meat fork features sharpened tips to make it easy to grip the meat.  The kitchen tongs retail at around £11 and the meat fork about £6.
