If you’ve flicked ahead or looked at our shop first or something and been overwhelmed by the variety of tools on offer, don’t be frightened! We offer this variety not to make you buy more tools (well, it wouldn’t upset us if you did mind!), but to give you options that will suit your oven shape, your oven size, your cooking habits and your budget.

To that end, if your budget is limited, the divisions below will really help. If you’re only up for one tool, make it a food handling tool. If you are up for two, next get a fire handling tool, going for three tools, you should probably get a cleaning tool OR - and here’s the next tip for navigating the choices: within each section, the choices are ranked, so the main food handling tools are listed first, then the secondary options - so if you didn’t want a cleaning tool but there was still a bit more money in the kitty, go back and look at the secondary food handling tools, etc.

I also want to mention right here that our site is different to most. There is A LOT of info on here and we ask you a lot of questions and even expect you to do homework. This can all be a bit confronting I know but it’s not just because we’re annoying, it’s because WE CUSTOM MAKE THE TOOLS so we’re trying to fit the tool to YOU, not the other way around. SO: we invite and maybe even IMPLORE you to take the time to read a bit and get exactly the right tool for yourself and instead of wondering why we work you so hard, maybe wonder why other sites don’t?!
