Zeal has put all
their knowledge and experience into spreading the joy of cooking –
developing innovative products that bring speed ease and fun into your
kitchen. The joy of a beautiful product begins with a touch, so the material
quality and finish must be as considered and selective as the design and
functionality. If Zeal wouldn’t buy it for their kitchen then it isn’t good
enough for yours.
Zeal products are
from CKS in Great Britain. CKS have been in the gourmet kitchen business for
nearly 40 years and only sell to the professional kitchen retailers. They have
been working in silicone since it started to become more main stream around 15
years ago which is why they have so much experience in this specialized area.
Zeal developed
their own silicone material 7 years ago which is odourless. Silicone always had
a chemical smell to it and most cheap silicones still do now. Zeal silicone is
EEC approved which is a far higher standard for food contact than the FDA
requirement for quality of silicone. In fact, FDA silicone quality would not
pass an EEC food contact test. The real problem for silicone is when it comes
into contact with hot oils and other hot substances. Inferior silicone will
leach into food. Zeal silicone does not and it also stands up to high
temperatures of food contact [up to 575 F/ 300 C]. All the stainless steel Zeal
uses which comes into contact with food is 18/8 Stainless. Zeal’s attitude
towards the quality of materials is why the products look so good and the
silicone almost has a metallic sheen to it while cheap silicones are matt in
appearance and often dull in colour.
Zeal products are
also supported by a 10 year guarantee and are always produced to meet their own
exacting standards.
All
Zeal tools are 100% EEC approved. Made with pure silicone specifically
developed for use with food they are ergonomically designed, constructed to
last and are an indispensable essential for any busy kitchen.
Love cooking, love
Zeal.
