A knife is used for cutting and slicing food into smaller pieces. A whisk is great for mixing ingredients together quickly to make batters or sauces. Strainers are great for straining out chunks of food or separating liquids from solids. Tongs are great for flipping foods while they cook or picking up hot items from a pan without burning your hands. Ladles are perfect for serving soup or stew portions at the table without spilling.
