The most useful kitchen tools are often the ones you reach for every day. A dependable ladle, skimmer, masher, serving spoon or meat fork can make cooking and serving considerably easier, while poorly chosen utensils quickly become drawer clutter.
This guide looks at Luigi Ferrero kitchen tools in Kenya and explains how to build a practical utensil collection around the jobs you actually perform in the kitchen.
Why consider Luigi Ferrero kitchen tools?
Luigi Ferrero offers more than cookware. The Red Rhino catalogue includes a broad selection of preparation and serving accessories, including the Prima range of everyday kitchen utensils.
Browse the Luigi Ferrero collection for current availability, or read our complete Luigi Ferrero Kenya guide for a broader overview of the brand.
1. Start with a good ladle
A ladle is essential for soups, stews, sauces and other liquid dishes. Capacity and handle length should suit the pots you normally use: a utensil that is too short can be awkward in a deep casserole, while an oversized ladle may be unnecessarily bulky for smaller saucepans.
One current option is the Luigi Ferrero Prima 90ml Ladle FR-1202.
2. Add a skimmer for lifting and draining
A skimmer is designed to lift food while allowing liquid to drain away. It is useful for boiled foods, fried items and a variety of preparation tasks where a conventional serving spoon retains too much liquid.
The Luigi Ferrero Prima Skimmer FR-1201 is one example in the current Red Rhino catalogue.
3. Choose a masher that is comfortable to use
For potatoes and other soft cooked vegetables, a dedicated masher provides more control than improvising with a fork or spoon. Pay attention to handle comfort and the working surface, particularly if you regularly prepare larger portions.
Red Rhino currently lists Luigi Ferrero Prima potato mashers, including Prima FR-1203 and Prima FR-1205.
4. Use a pasta serving spoon for better portioning
Pasta utensils are shaped to grip and lift noodles more effectively than a standard spoon. If pasta is a regular part of your household meals, a purpose-built serving spoon is a small tool that can justify its drawer space.
See the Luigi Ferrero Prima Pasta Serving Spoon FR-1206.
5. Consider a meat fork for carving and serving
A meat fork can help stabilise larger cuts during carving and transfer cooked portions more securely. It is most useful for households that regularly roast, grill or serve larger pieces of meat.
The current range includes the Luigi Ferrero Prima Meat Fork FR-1208.
6. Avoid buying utensils you will not use
A large utensil set can look comprehensive, but a smaller collection of frequently used tools is usually more efficient. Before adding another accessory, ask what specific cooking task it solves and whether you already own a tool that performs the same job well.
How to build a practical kitchen-tool set
For most kitchens, prioritise tools according to cooking frequency rather than trying to buy every available utensil at once.
- Daily basics: serving spoon, ladle and turner or spatula.
- For soups and stews: a well-sized ladle.
- For boiling and frying: a skimmer.
- For potatoes and vegetables: a dedicated masher.
- For pasta: a pasta serving spoon.
- For roasts and larger cuts: a meat fork.
Match utensils to your cookware
Utensils and cookware should work as a system. Consider the dimensions and cooking surface of your pans and pots, and use tools appropriate for the cookware material and finish. This is particularly important where a cooking surface can be damaged by unsuitable utensils.
If you are also choosing pans, see our Luigi Ferrero frying-pan buying guide.
Storage matters too
Frequently used utensils should be easy to access without overcrowding worktops or drawers. Keep the tools used every day closest to your primary preparation area and move specialist accessories elsewhere. A well-organised kitchen is not necessarily one with fewer tools; it is one where each tool has a clear purpose and storage location.

Frequently asked questions
Which kitchen utensils should I buy first?
Start with the tools required for the meals you cook most often. For many households, a ladle, serving spoon, spatula or turner and skimmer cover a large proportion of everyday tasks.
Do I need a dedicated potato masher?
If you prepare mashed potatoes or other soft vegetables regularly, a dedicated masher is generally easier and more consistent than using a fork or spoon.
What is a kitchen skimmer used for?
A skimmer lifts food from liquid while allowing much of that liquid to drain through the utensil. It can be useful for boiling, frying and general food preparation.
Is a pasta serving spoon worth buying?
It is worthwhile if pasta is cooked frequently because its shape is designed to grip and portion noodles more effectively than a conventional serving spoon.
