Even your Kitchen deserves to be Fabulous!



And I don't mean starting a-fresh with dazzling chandeliers and ultra shiny counter-tops; you can add a bit of fun and glamour to your kitchen with bright utensils and chopping boards. I'm talking about the design savvy company JosephJoseph®. Available in our Bideford shop, or at www.justtrio.co.uk.

Started in 2003, by twin brothers Richard and Anthony Joseph, the brand has grown to become internationally recognized as the specialists in stylish, technologically innovative and contemporary kitchenware.  
So here are a few of our favourite products:

Shown above is the brand new Nest9,  a new addition to the range with an updated design and several practical new features. Both mixing bowls now have non-slip bases and wider carry handles and the measuring cups have been redesigned to ‘snap’ together more securely. An additional spoon in the centre means that measurements from 1 teaspoon (5 ml) up to 1 cup (250 ml) can now be made. The small mixing bowl still includes measurements inside for added convenience (ml/fl.oz) and a spout for accurate pouring. A new improved stainless-steel mesh sieve and a large colander complete the collection. Click here for more information.
Cookbook
The problem with most bookstands is their bulky size and awkward shape, which takes up valuable space when not in use. The unique design of CookBook avoids this, as it opens and folds exactly like a book, which means that it can be stored neatly away on a shelf with other books until required.

When opened, the bookrests, page holders and back stand automatically fold out, providing solid, angled support for most sizes of book or even an electronic tablet device. A non-slip foot at the base of the spine keeps the unit in place on the work surface during use. When closed, CookBook folds flat, becoming no thicker than an average-sized book (approx. 20mm). Made from high-quality ABS plastic, CookBook is also tough, stylish and easy to clean. Click here for more information. 


Chop2Pot Plus in Green
This is the fabulous Chop2Pot. We sell so many of these as gifts, and I can't recommend them enough- they even come in hot pink!  Laid flat, Chop2Pot™ Plus provides a durable, knife-friendly cutting surface for food preparation. But when the handle is squeezed, the sides of the board fold up, forming a chute down which chopped food or waste can be neatly guided.
This latest version of the design still employs the same proven 'living-hinge’ technology to achieve its transformation, but it also features a comfortable, soft-grip handle and non-slip feet for extra safety and convenience. Click here for more information and to see the full range of chopping boards.



Square Colander in Black
The good-old-fashioned colander next, but with a few modern features to make your life that little bit easier!  This ergonomic colander has several unique features.Firstly, the single vertical handle ensures it remains upright and stable if placed in a sink and, when held, leaves one hand free for operating the tap. Secondly, its square corners make emptying rinsed food much easier and more precise. Lastly, its vertical drainage holes allow liquids to drain away quickly and efficiently and its square shape makes for efficient storage. Click here for the full range of colanders. 

Flo Oil and Vinegar Set
Dressing food with oil and vinegar can be problematic, with their differing viscosities often leading to too much or too little of each being dispensed.
The innovative design of these flasks eliminates this problem, by allowing the flow to be finely adjusted whilst pouring. Simply depress the large button on each cap to control the flow as you pour - press more or less as required.
Their ergonomic design is intuitive to hold and easy to clean, and they come with their own silicone coaster for smart, organised storage. Click here for more information.

Herb Chopper
If you're into your kitchen gadgets, you'll love this!  This stylish design comprises of a non-slip chopping unit and a double hachoir in one.Simply remove the cutter, chop on the gently curved cutting surface and then safely store the blade back in the compartment. Suitable for chopping all kinds of herbs, garlic, ginger, nuts and chocolate. Click here for more Kitchen Tools.

Colour Conversions Worktop Saver


How useful is this? One of your favourite cake recipes is in ounces but the scales only do grams? No problem with this handy worktop saver! It converts Centigrade and Fahrenheit and Gas mark too. Made from toughened glass and with non-slip rubber feet, these multi-function boards provide a hygienic, odour- and stain-resistant work surface for all types of food preparation. They are available in a wide range of colourful designs. Click here to see our full range of funky worktop savers.
