Mercer Kitchen Tools

A fish spatula has a thin, flexible, slotted blade that slides under a delicate fillet and lifts it without tearing the skin. Mercer’s 6 x 3-inch version also turns eggs, pancakes and burgers, and its slots let fat drain away.The Hell’s Handle withstands heat up to 450°F, so it can rest near a hot griddle, and its dual-textured surface grips well with wet or oily hands. The handle is fully sealed for sanitation.
Other TurnersLeft-handed cooks can choose the left-handed fish spatula. For whole fish and large fillets, see the 9 x 4-inch jumbo fish turner. Learn More

Mercer Rules is a two-sided stainless steel ruler printed with the reference a cook checks most: the classic knife cuts, from fine brunoise and the dices to julienne, batonnet and paysanne, along with measurements and conversions. Culinary schools use it to teach and test knife skills, and it is a fixture in student kits, including those of the local programs we supply.Beyond the cuts, it carries cooking and storage temperatures for meats, a chart of NAMP primal cuts, a knife usage guide and base recipes for pie dough, pâte à choux and pasta dough. Lay a cut on it to check its size against the standard.

The Mercer Rules Mini puts the classic knife cuts and key kitchen references on a 5 1/4 x 3-inch stainless steel card that fits in a chef coat or shirt pocket. It is the size culinary students carry to class and to practical exams, when they need to check a brunoise or a julienne quickly.Hold a cut against the guide to compare its dimensions with the standard. The stainless steel wipes clean and stands up to daily use.

The jumbo fish turner has a 9 x 4-inch blade, large enough to support a whole fish, a large fillet of salmon or a stack of fritters as you turn or move it. A long, wide blade keeps fragile food in one piece where a small spatula would let it break.Its Hell’s Handle withstands heat up to 450°F and has a dual-textured, slip-resistant grip.

Mercer’s citrus zester pulls fine strands of zest from lemons, limes and oranges, leaving the bitter white pith behind. The cutting holes at the tip produce thin, curled strips for garnishing desserts and cocktails, for candying, or for folding into batters and sauces.The stainless steel blade is set in a black polypropylene handle with a soft, non-slip grip, which stays secure when your hands are wet with citrus juice.

The 4-inch pizza wheel cuts cleanly through crust and toppings with a stainless steel blade ground to a sharp edge. It also cuts flatbreads, quesadillas, rolled pastry and fresh pasta sheets.The handle has textured finger points and a finger guard, which keep the hand secure and away from the blade as you press down.

A mezzaluna minces by rocking a curved blade back and forth across the board, and Mercer’s double-blade version cuts twice with each rock. It reduces parsley, basil, cilantro and garlic to a fine, even mince faster than chopping with a single blade.The two 7-inch blades are Japanese steel, held in a one-piece rubberized handle that you grip with both hands. Rock gently from end to end without lifting the blades, and gather the herbs back into a pile as you go.
Other Herb ToolsFor chopping larger produce, a Millennia chef’s knife is the more versatile tool. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains the alternatives. Learn More

Mercer makes this 6 x 3-inch slotted turner for left-handed cooks, so the thin, beveled blade slides under fish, eggs and pancakes from the natural side.The Hell’s Handle withstands 450°F, absorbs less heat than a standard polypropylene handle and stays cooler to the touch, according to Mercer. Its dual-textured, fully sealed surface gives a secure grip and is easy to sanitize.
