Chances are, if you open your kitchen drawers you’ll find a little Victorinox knife somewhere. Most likely, it’s one of your favourites too. And that’s for a good reason: Victorinox knives are probably the most well-known knife brand worldwide. Made in Ibach-Schwyz and Delemont in Switzerland, their range of household and professional kitchen tools (not to forget their famous Swiss Army Knives) all started over 135 years ago, in 1884. All Victorinox steel blades are made from 100% recycled, martensitic stainless steel. This steel provides optimum function & durability and delivers the perfect combination of cutting edge retention and corrosion protection. The blades should also be flexible so it does not break during use.
This set of 5 x 23cm long needles is used for tying up loose bits of meat before cooking to make it easier to move and carve. The 5 needles come in a plastic sheath for storage and safety.
To use, thread the trussing needle with cooking string, and thread it carefully through the meat or poultry to secure it in place. Wings and legs of poultry can be tied or trussed securely against the body to make a more compact shape for the bird to cook evenly. The needles can also be used instead of string to hold the bird parts together.
