Cooking tools

Abstract

Techniques, devices, components are provided for handling foodstuff objects that include a handle with a gripping surface having a first side and a second side, and a gripping member that extends away from either side. The gripping member is configured to interface with at least one digit of a user's hand or a support surface, and the gripping surface features a first aperture defined at least in part by the structure of the protrusion. The device also includes a first work device adapted to interact with foodstuff objects, and a frame extending within at least a portion of the handle and coupled to the first work device. The gripping member improves ergonomic comfort, control, and versatility during food preparation, while providing stable support and minimizing surface contact when the device is set down.
