Zak Designs claims to have added a new texture to the kitchen through its Eco line of culinary tools.Announcing the new product offerings, which include colanders, measuring cups and scoops, Zak said they will allow the eco-friendly theme to be carried throughout the kitchen and prove that texture has as much a place in the culinary tools as function and fashion.The texture of Zaks Eco line comes from a patented process used to infuse Rattan wood a rapidly growing plant similar to bamboo with melamine. This process also gives the products an organic colour tone which is becoming increasingly popular among eco-conscious kitchen users.More information is available from zak.com where Zaks other available products include nested serving and mixing bowls, mini prep bowls and serve trays. Such items would complement a stainless steel kitchen sink or other stylish kitchen fixtures.Meanwhile, the Guardian observed last week that a number of innovative and stylish breadboards have been developed to cut down on kitchen mess.
