With the Right Spices, Discover Your New Favorite Dish
Without spices, experimenting in the kitchen would be only half as enjoyable. Fortunately, we now have easy access to a wide variety of spices from around the world. With diverse spices, even simple ingredients can be transformed into new dishes, and your favorite meal would taste only half as good without the right spices.
Which Spices Do You Need? Essential Spices for Your Spice Drawer
The vast array of different spices can be overwhelming, especially for beginners in the kitchen. Which spices do you actually need, and which ones can you do without for now? Ultimately, the perfect setup for your spice drawer depends on the types of dishes you enjoy cooking. For those who enjoy cooking oriental cuisine, cinnamon and cardamom are indispensable, while a Mexican dish without chili is unimaginable.
To start, it's advisable to build a basic collection of spices: salt and pepper, dried chilies, paprika powder, and various herbs like basil and rosemary should not be missing from any spice drawer. From there, you can gradually expand your spice collection with more specialized spices as you try out new dishes and develop your own cooking style.
Salt and Pepper: The Basics from the Pepper Mill
Salt and pepper are essential ingredients in every kitchen and are used daily. Therefore, it's worth investing in the right quality. GEFU collaborates with the Berlin-based spice manufacturer Spicebar, which offers classics from the spice rack, such as coarse desert salt in exquisite organic quality. Combined with our salt and pepper mills from the X-PLOSION series, every ordinary dish becomes extraordinary. The CYCLONE grinding mechanism made of high-performance ceramic has extra sharp and numerous teeth, ensuring that salt and pepper are ground gently and uniformly - to the exact fineness you desire.Ground Spices: Well-Protected in the Spice Dispenser
Spices or spice blends that you purchase already ground must be tightly sealed and protected from moisture. With our X-PLOSION spice and herb dispenser, you'll have ground spices, as well as dried herbs and teas, ready at your fingertips with just a simple twist. The sealable lid reliably protects the aromas, and the practical labels for individual labeling ensure more organization in your spice rack.
Fresh Herbs, Nuts, and Roots: Easily Crushed with GEFU
Some spices develop their best flavor when freshly processed. This doesn't have to be complicated because with the right kitchen utensils, fresh herbs, nuts, and roots can be quickly crushed. The X-PLOSION mortar, made of durable granite and stainless steel, is particularly suitable for this purpose. For ginger enthusiasts, the porcelain mortar with ginger grater SURI is just the right tool, as it serves two purposes at once.
