An essential in any high-end chef's arsenal, offset plating tweezers allow the user all the precision of a brain surgeon. These are an excellent tool for manipulating small cuts of meat, pasta, and delicate garnishes that clumsy fingers can't handle properly.

If you're more of a home chef, you'll find these equally handy. There's no better way to get pickled things from jars. They also make great training chopsticks for the less dextrous individuals in your house.
