1.

Sandwich Spatula: This specialized tool resembles a round spatula with a serrated edge on one side
and a smooth edge on the other. Its primary function is to apply food spreads, such as butter,
mayonnaise, or mustard, evenly onto bread slices. The serrated edge helps to spread the spread
smoothly, while the smooth edge is useful for leveling off spreads or removing excess.

2. Scissors: While not strictly a kitchen tool, scissors are invaluable for creating customized edges on
bread for tea sandwiches, hors d'oeuvres, or children's sandwiches. They can also be used to cut a
pocket in toast or waffles for creative fillings. Additionally, scissors can be used to cut sandwiches into
various shapes like rectangles, triangles, and circles.

3. Grater: A grater is used for shredding cheese, meats, and other ingredients, enhancing the flavor
profile of the sandwich by allowing the flavors to mix more effectively. This can significantly improve
the palatability of the sandwich.

4. Cookie Cutters: Cookie cutters come in various sizes, small, medium, and large. Smaller cutters are
perfect for cutting out tinier breads for tea sandwiches, while medium and large cutters are ideal for
making larger sandwiches.

5. Spatula: A spatula is a long, flexible blade with a rounded end. It serves multiple purposes in
sandwich preparation, including leveling off ingredients in measuring cups and spoons, spreading
fillings evenly on sandwiches, and flipping ingredients during cooking.

6. Butter Knife: A butter knife is a small knife with a blunt-edged blade designed for applying spreads
such as butter, peanut butter, and cream cheese onto bread or dinner rolls. Its blunt edge prevents
tearing the bread and ensures a smooth application.

7. Chef's Knife: Chef's knives come in various lengths, ranging from 6 to 12 inches. The smaller sizes
are often referred to as mini chef's knives, while the longer lengths are considered traditional chef's
knives. Chef's knives are versatile tools used for chopping, slicing, and dicing a wide range of
ingredients, making them essential for sandwich preparation.

8. Deli Knife: A deli knife is specifically designed for thick sandwiches. Its offset blade allows for easy
slicing and handling, ensuring clean cuts through various sandwich ingredients.
9. Lettuce Knife: This specialized knife has a plastic serrated edge designed to slice lettuce without
causing the edges to turn brown. This prevents the lettuce from becoming discolored and maintains its
freshness.

10. Paring Knife: A paring knife is a small knife with a straight, sharp blade, typically three to five inches
long. Its thin, narrow blade tapers to a point, making it easy to handle and ideal for peeling and coring
fruits and vegetables, as well as mincing and cutting small items.

11. Sandwich Knife: A sandwich knife is a sharp-bladed kitchen utensil used to slice through a medium
amount of food ingredients sandwiched between two slices of bread. Similar to a deli knife, the
sandwich knife is shorter in length with a shorter blade depth, making it easier to cut through smaller to
medium-sized sandwiches.

12. Serrated Knife: A serrated knife features a sharp edge with saw-like notches or teeth. The blade is
typically 5 to 10 inches long and is used to slice through food that is hard on the outside and soft on the
inside, such as slicing through the hard crusts of bread. A serrated knife with a short, thin blade is often
used for slicing fruits and vegetables.

13. Cutting Board: Cutting boards, made of wood or plastic, are essential for protecting countertops and
ensuring a stable surface for slicing bread and other ingredients. They also help to keep knives sharp.

14. Mixing Bowls: Mixing bowls are used for mixing, separating, combining, and storing food
ingredients. They should be large enough to hold the ingredients while they are being mixed.

15. Strainer: A strainer is used to separate liquid from solid ingredients, such as draining pasta or
vegetables.

16. Rubber Scraper: A rubber scraper is a pliable tool with a broad, flat, and flexible blade. It is used for
blending ingredients, scraping down the sides of bowls, and removing mixtures from pans.

17. Measuring Cups: Measuring cups are available in graduated measuring glasses and individual cups.
Graduated measuring glasses are transparent with fractions, used for measuring liquids. Individual
cups come with fractional parts and are used for measuring solids or dry ingredients.
18. Utility Tray: A utility tray is used to hold food in place, providing a stable surface for arranging
ingredients or transporting sandwiches.

19. Measuring Spoons: Measuring spoons are a set of individual spoons used to measure small
quantities of ingredients, ensuring accuracy in recipes.

Kitchen Equipment

1. Microwave Oven: Microwave ovens use microwave radiation to heat food quickly and efficiently. They
are often used for reheating pre-prepared sandwich ingredients or melting cheese.

2. Salamander: A salamander is a small broiler primarily used for browning or glazing the tops of

below the ambient temperature of the room. It is essential for keeping ingredients fresh, preventing
spoilage, and maintaining the quality of sandwiches.

6. Oven: Ovens are enclosed equipment that use hot air or infrared radiation to heat food. They are
commonly used for cooking and baking sandwich ingredients, such as meats, vegetables, or bread.
