Stainless Steel Dish Drainers Our thoughtfully designed drainer features a silicon-coated drip tray that directs water back into your sink, avoiding the build-up of bacteria where water accumulates. The tray is also tilted up from the kitchen surface, so dirt will not build up underneath. Stainless Steel Cutlery Drainers The cutlery drainers are sufficiently long to let you lay most domestic knives flat – the safest way to drain them. Laying your cutlery and cooking utensils flat will also protect delicate wooden tools and handles by preventing water build-up. Stainless Steel Drainer Trays The dish drainer trays come in a range of sizes that can be placed horizontally or vertically to enable you to create the correct fit for your kitchen and sink design.

What is “Blue Tempered Iron”? It is high grade steel which was developed in Japan to be used for pots and pans. The tempering process protects the steel from rusting and a fine layer of black iron oxide is bonded to the surface. This allows oil to penetrate into the surface of the pan. This is makes the pan easier to clean and promotes its non-stick properties. There is no need to season the pan but it should be washed thoroughly before the first use.

La Base is 100% made in Japan, at Tsubame-Sanjo city, Niigata. Tsubame-Sanjo has a long history of metal workings, dating back to the Edo period (1600–1867). Then the area was a centre of manufacturing metallic goods - nails for building construction, and for producing quality swords. Since that time, the sound and the energy of the metal workings encouraged the spirit of the generations of local craftsmen. The La Base range are produced by these excellent inherited skills.
