Pasta Kitchen launched in 2016 with a straightforward aim: stock the tools that actually make a difference when you're cooking Italian food at home. We're a family-run business, and Italian cooking tools are genuinely what we know. We've been selling Marcato pasta machines and Eppicotispai tools the entire time, and every product we add to the range gets used and tested by our team at home before it goes on the site.
The range has grown a lot since then, but the approach hasn't. We choose products we believe in, from brands that have been making them properly for decades. Almost everything we sell is made in Italy. Marcato pasta machines are manufactured in Campodarsego, near Padova. Berkel slicers and knives are made in Italy, in the province of Varese. Cerutti Inox and Eppicotispai are Italian-made brands we've carried for years.
We're an authorised UK retailer for the brands we carry. Everything is supplied with UK-compatible plugs where applicable, VAT is included in the price, and there are no import duties or customs surprises on delivery.* You may be able to find some of these products cheaper from overseas sellers, but what you won't get is UK warranty support, correct specifications for the UK market, or anyone to call if something goes wrong.

*UK orders only. Shipping restrictions and import duties may apply for orders outside the UK.
Berkel Ham Tongs are for lifting a finished slice off the back of the slicer, the point where you'd otherwise be reaching in close to the blade with your fingers to peel it away. The spring-hinged action opens and closes with one hand, and the tips hold rather than pinch, so a slice of prosciutto or a wedge of hard cheese comes away whole and can be set down on a board or plate without tearing or crushing it. Stainless steel throughout, with the Berkel logo engraved on the handle.
Retrieving a slice from the back of the machine is where your fingers end up closest to a moving blade. These tongs do that job for you, so your hand stays back while the tips do the reaching. They're also useful for anything you'd rather not handle directly with fingers, like fragile or wafer-thin cuts that need holding and placing rather than picking up.
These tongs work alongside any Berkel electric or flywheel slicer, and they're a small but genuinely useful addition if you're slicing charcuterie regularly. Pair them with a Berkel cutting board to give each retrieved slice somewhere to land, or add a Berkel slicer cleaning kit to keep the rest of your setup in good condition.
