latin kitchen tools
& utensils
designed for latin cooking, hecho con mucho cariño
The effort to create intentionally designed, durable, safe, and (most importantly) joyful to use kitchenware was born from honoring Latin roots, traditions, and their ancestors, while helping to carry Latin culture forward.
the tostonera, a tool re-invented for making tostones
Traditional tostoneras often break at the hinges or split down the middle. With this product, we set out to design a tostonera that would be durable and last. The final design came to include an interlocking internal hinge, curved edges for comfort in your hands, and a silicone base to stop slipping. The resulting experience is smooth and confident.
a non-slip adjustable mortar & pestle
Overall, it was our effort to thoughtfully design our version of this centuries-old mixing set so the experience would be more vibrant and comfortable to use. The key to all this ended up being the addition of a separate silicone base. It allows us to reposition the mortar in whatever direction we’d like, and still get leverage with our pestle to mix and mash garlic, spices, and salsas.
a stainless steel masher built to last
We made our masher from stainless steel so it’s strong, easy to clean and toxin-free, and shaped the head with slightly curved edges that make mashing feel natural and easy in any bowl. A sun-shaped slotted pattern on the head is an homage to our love for Caribbean.
a silicone skimmer designed for tostones and other fried foods
In pursuit of a safer and more enjoyable frying experience, from start to finish, our vision for this skimmer was born. We landed on a head design made of 100% platinum-grade silicone in the same sun-shaped pattern as our masher, plus a wide grip bamboo handle for comfortable scooping and skimming, all without a scratch!
