The Details That Make Cooking Better
The right accessory can solve a problem you didn't know you had — a lid that fits every pan, a diffuser that prevents scorching, a griddle press that gives your proteins restaurant-quality contact. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store for over 50 years, we carry the specialty cookware tools and accessories that round out a well-equipped kitchen.
Splatter Screens — The OXO Good Grips Splatter Screen with Folding Handle and the Splatter Screen 15" keep your stovetop clean during high-heat frying and sautéing without trapping steam. The folding handle stores flat in a drawer.
Lids & Covers — Universal lids that fit what you already own: the Thomas Keller Commercial Clad Stainless Steel Universal Lids 12.5" for professional-grade stainless coverage; the RSVP Universal Lid and Stainless Steel Lid for flexible everyday use; the Made In Frying Pan Silicone Universal Lid for a heat-safe, flexible-edge fit. The Stainless Steel Round Burner Cover and Kleen Seam Range Cover from Range Kleen for protecting unused burners and keeping your stovetop tidy.
Heat Management — The Heat Diffuser sits between your burner and pan to even out hot spots and make low-and-slow cooking possible on gas or electric — essential for simmering sauces or melting chocolate without scorching. The Ilsa Cast Iron Gas Ring Reducer adapts small pans to large gas burners for better heat distribution.
Cookware Accessories — The Cristel Strate Removable Long Handle is the signature component of Cristel's modular cookware system, allowing pans to store flat and convert from stovetop to oven without an oven-safe handle in the way.
Grill & Griddle — The Made In Carbon Steel Griddle and Lodge Cast Iron Reversible Grill/Griddle Pan for stovetop griddling and searing. The Made In Grill Press with Leather Handles for pressed sandwiches, smashed burgers, and maximizing contact on a flat surface.
Outdoor Grilling — For live-fire cooking: BBQ Stainless Steel Skewers Set of 6, Bamboo Double Skewer, Fish Barbecue Basket, Kebabs Barbecue Basket, and Outset Rosewood Flex Grill Basket for grilling everything from delicate fish to vegetables over a flame. The BBQ Maple Board for serving. The Collapsible Fire Pit for backyard entertaining. The Cheese Melting Dome for achieving that perfect melt on burgers and sandwiches. The PULSE Meat Injection Syringe Kit for flavor-injecting larger cuts before the grill. The 2-in-1 Roasting Wok moves from stovetop stir fry to oven roasting.
