New Perfect for stews, roasts, soups, and casseroles, we introduce Staub enameled cast iron cookware to Degrees. While these pieces are beautiful to look at, they are also very functional, with features such as self-basting spikes on the lid to ensure even distribution of moisture, and oven-proof stainless steel or brass knobs. We feature several sizes in-store in grey, cherry red, blue, and black, and new to Canada, lemon yellow and white. All Staub products are made in France.
New The original Thermapen has been a proven favourite among professional chefs and home kitchens alike. Now, the new Thermapen Splash improves on the original with a new water-resistant design, even faster readings, and improved accuracy. Wet hands and kitchen splashes won’t harm the Thermapen Splash, and yet it continues to be one of the most accurate and easy-to-use kitchen thermometers available.
At the cutting edge of design, the Eva Solo angled knife block uses a fold-up insert of flexible plastic to keep knives in place and at hand. The plastic inserts are removable for easy cleaning.

New Contemporary design meets ease-of-use in the new Henckels TWIN Sigma Folding Trivet. A simple black and stainless design distinguishes this trivet when in use, and it folds up easily into a compact cylinder for storage.
New Open up your wines and let them breath. Aerating wine brings out nuances in the grapes that weren’t there before – wines have a better bouquet, enhanced flavours, and smoother finish. Traditionally, aerating and decanting wine took time and effort, but the new Virturi Wine Aerator makes bringing out the flavours quick and easy. The unique design means aerating is as easy as pouring the wine through the aerator, which mixes the wine with the optimal amount of air, guaranteeing the most from your bottle. Available for red wine and white.
New Quality construction and classic design are the hallmarks of the Alfi Albergo thermal carafe. The double-walled vacuum glass liner keeps liquids hot for up to 12 hours, and the chrome plated exterior is both easy to clean and looks elegant on the table. Available in 1 L and 1.5 L sizes, plus a version designed especially for tea, which includes an integrated tea filter.
New Cloer has over 100 years of tradition in building high-quality, well-designed small kitchen appliances, and while the name is familiar throughout Europe, Cloer is new to Canada. The Cloer Cordless Electric Kettle (see below) is quickly becoming a favourite at Degrees, and is joined by the Model 3519 2-slice toaster, Model 3710 4-slice toaster, and Model 5749 coffee maker. All of these products feature Cloer’s modern design and inherent functionality, creating products that not only look good but work exceedingly well. Come by the store to take a look.
New Cloer may not be a household name in North America, but their lineup of kitchen electrics is getting noticed in Europe. The model 4019 Cloer cordless electric kettle has a 1.7L capacity and an easy-to-pour spout. The design is classic, minimalist German, with stunning ergonomics.
New Different from a standard skillet, the new All-Clad French Skillets offer a large cooking surface and deeply-contoured sidewalls that make turning and flipping easy – perfectly suited to omelets and crepes. 3-layer bonded construction promotes even cooking, and the stainless steel finish is easy to clean. The specially priced set includes 7.5” nonstick and 9” stainless steel French Skillets.
Despite the name, the Browne Stainless Steel Potato Ricer can be used for much more than just potatoes. It makes simple work of mashing any cooked root vegetable, straining tomatoes, fruit, or making homemade baby food. The heavy gauge 18/10 stainless steel construction will last for years (if not decades), and 3 discs allow for fine, medium, or coarse mashing.
A good peppermill is a necessity in any kitchen. So when both Cook’s Illustrated and Fine Cooking rated the Unicorn Magnum Plus peppermill as the “best”, we knew we had to try it out. This peppermill works quickly and easily, producing a consistent, adjustable grind. The 9 inch height allows for over a cup of peppercorns to be easily loaded through the side opening. The nickel-plated heads are designed to last a lifetime and won’t rust. Available in black.
The Technivorm Moccamaster KBT741 coffee maker sets out to do only one thing: make the perfect cup of coffee. It does this by making sure that all of the contributing factors to good coffee-making are present: water is heated to 92 degrees Celsius prior to brewing; a 9-hole sprayhead evenly wets the coffee grounds; and a stainless-steel thermos keeps coffee hot for hours. Technivorm takes great pride in these machines and it shows: each machine is handmade in the Netherlands, just like the original Technivorm from 40 years ago.
