1. Duraprès Beat Blitz Hand Mixer Set

How do pastry chefs achieve a silky smooth cake batter every time? Yes, it’s years of training but it’s also having the right mixer. “The Beat Blitz is your new best friend in the kitchen,” says Curtis. “It includes an immersion blender, a whisk and double beater all with a coating to protect your bowls and cookware as you mix. You won’t need any other mixing tool in your kitchen as the Beat Blitz does it all.”

2. Durapres Cordless Carve Electric Knife Set

The game-changer you need for easy breezy slicing. Christmas ham? Simple. Fresh sourdough? No problem! The ergonomic design of this cordless carving knife makes it easy to achieve flawless results. “A blade for bread, a blade for meats and a fork too, but the best part yet, it’s cordless and rechargeable,” says Curtis Stone. “You can use it in the kitchen, the dining room, even out while at the barbecue.” Just remove the blades for easy cleaning.

Best-ever Eggs Benedict recipe

Looking for Sunday brekky inspo? This Eggs Benedict recipe from Duraprès is one to try. Whether you’re cooking indoors or out, you need precise temperature control for perfectly poached eggs and a smooth, velvety hollandaise sauce. Partner with the Duraprès Inducto Go Portable Induction Cooktop for best results.

Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 1 hour
Serves 4-8

Ingredients:

8 large eggs

4 English muffins, halved, toasted

8 thin slices prosciutto
Hollandaise sauce:

2 large egg yolks

1 tbs (or more) fresh lemon juice

250g melted butter, warm

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Warm water, optional

Method:

1. Fill a large saucepan halfway with water. Place the saucepan on your Inducto Go Portable Induction Cooktop. Using power level mode, heat over medium-high. When water comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and allow the water to simmer.

2. In a large bowl set over simmering water, whisk yolks and 1 tbs lemon juice, making sure they do not get too hot, for 4 minutes, or until they are light and fluffy. When the whisk is lifted, the mixture should be thick enough to form a figure 8 when drizzled. Remove bowl from saucepan. Reserve the saucepan of water.

3. Slowly drizzle warm butter into egg mixture while whisking constantly to form thick, creamy sauce. Do not add butter too fast or the mixture will split.

4. Season sauce with salt, cayenne pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Thin the sauce with warm water if it becomes too thick. Keep hollandaise sauce warm until serving.

5. To cook eggs, return the reserved saucepan of water to your Inducto Go Portable Induction Cooktop; add enough water to the saucepan to ensure eggs will be completely submerged.

6. Using sous vide mode, insert the thermometer jack into the cooker and place the thermometer probe into the pan of water. Set temperature to 63°C.

7. Add whole eggs (in shell) directly to the water bath and cook for
1 hour for softboiled eggs.

8. Arrange toasted English muffins cut side up on plates. Loosely fold prosciutto slices and place on top of English muffins. One at a time, crack cooked eggs into a small bowl. Using a slotted spoon, lift each egg from the bowl, leaving behind any watery egg white that falls away. Top each muffin with one cooked egg. Spoon some hollandaise sauce over eggs and serve.

4. Prep Master Mini Food Processor

Whiz up purees, dips, pestos, whip cream or chop veggies in a jiffy with this small but mighty kitchen helper. The Prep Master Mini is your go-to for easy chopping, slicing and whisking – the can-do food processor you’ve been waiting for. The set includes a mixing lid, continuous food chute, dual titanium coated blades, grater, slicer and whisk. The 500W motor puts in a strong performance, while the compact design fits in a drawer for easy storage.

5. Prep Master Pro Food Processor

When you’re feeding a crowd, you need a large food processor that is equal to the task. The 3.5 litre capacity Prep Master Pro features a high-performance 1300W motor and titanium-coated blades to effortlessly chop, slice, grate or puree. “The Prep Master Pro is the best,” says Curtis. “It’s like having a sous chef working next to me in the kitchen.
