About Suggestions Primary Function: Vyombo vya Mezani

Suggestions ni mkusanyiko wa vyombo vya mezani vya kaure vilivyotengenezwa kwa ajili ya jikoni za kitaalamu. Kila kipande kinajibu hitaji halisi la kuhudumia badala ya wazo la kimtindo tu. Sahani moja hushikilia barafu juu ya hifadhi iliyofichwa, hivyo maji yanayoyeyuka huwekwa mbali na chakula. Toleo la pili hushikilia barafu kavu ili kupoza vyakula kama sushi na kutoa mvuke mwepesi. Kipande kingine huweka kaviari juu ya barafu bila kuchanganya vitu hivyo viwili. Sahani zenye muundo wa nukta zisizo za kawaida hutenganisha juisi za nyama na chakula. Vitepe vidogo vya kaure huwaruhusu wageni kula kwa raha wakiwa wamesimama. Rangi za glezi zenye mmenyuko zilibuniwa kwa ajili ya mkusanyiko huu.

One perfect example is the amaze, this dish keeps the ice separated from the melted water. Then the ice keep his frozen form more time and the food never gets soaked. Also in amaze we find a version that you can put carbonic ice in the inside keeping the food (sushi for example) cool and giving a nices fresh smoke that makes a new whole experience. We also find the chill, this items are made for serving caviar on ice but with total secury of not mixing it.
At the same time this collection plays with the senses of the final uses, the vision with nice and unexpected presentations. Smell with the possibility of introduce aromas, and finally the touch, with items made to be hold and enjoy eating with the dish on your hands.
