Gestura Noyau Cake Tester
£19.00 GBP
Unit price perThis glimmering scepter is a secret weapon in pro kitchens the world over. If you’ve ever wondered how restaurants consistently nail temps on meat, fish, and baked goods the humble cake tester is your answer. A meat thermometer provides an accurate but detached numerical answer, the cake tester offers an opportunity to cook intuitively. To use your senses and be more connected to your food. To understand what medium-rare feels like, not what a digital probe tells you. If you treat this battle sword well, you may not need to buy another cake tester again.
Form-
A cake tester that doesn’t melt, snap, or separate. Noyau is built with tough Japanese steel, a more fitting material than the polyurethane often used by manufacturers. Taking inspiration from cocktail pins found at bars and antique shops in Kyoto, Noyau's head is stamped flat to feel like a weighted guitar pick, and pinched at the base to keep the rod firmly in place. The tip is pointed, to mimic a toothpick and slide through meat, fish, cake, and veg without damaging flesh, fiber, or crumb.
Origin-
Niigata, Japan
Material-
18/8 Japanese stainless steel
Length-
5.5 inches
Cleaning-
Hand-wash only, please.
Handling-
Noyau's tip is sharp out of the box, please use with caution. If you would like it less sharp, a few passes on medium-grit sandpaper or something similar will do the trick.
Packaging-
Little pink box constructed with recycled chipboard
Doneness Guide:
Insert skewer in center from side, should feel like sliding through butter. If there is any resistance, cook longer - you are poking through uncooked fibers.
Insert skewer in thickest area, hold for a few moments, remove and test on lower lip or inner wrist. Just below skin temp = Rare. Slightly warm = Med Rare. Almost hot = Medium. Hot to the touch = Well-Done.
Insert skewer in thickest area of thigh/breast. Hold for a few moments, remove and test. Should feel hot to the touch.
Use in place of toothpick.
If there is any resistance, cook longer. Should feel soft siding through.

This thing IS THE BUSINESS!
Words can't explain how amazing this knife is to use and gaze at! It's my second bunka and my go to knife for everyday prep. Gyuto's aren't getting a look in at the moment. I LOVE it. Thanks Chefs Edge 👊🏽

Super Thin Bevels
The bevels being so thin makes it easy to achieve a crazy sharp edge and cut dense vegetables rather than splitting them. The kiritsuke tip also makes precise cuts such as on garlic possible. A pleasure to use
James Palmer
Great product, great service
Very happy with my purchase. First time customer, ordered and received a knife that had a chip which occurred during shipment. The staff at Chefs Edge were very prompt in communication and really helpful in resolving the matter. They sent out a new knife and arrived in time for a birthday. The knife itself is great quality and looks better than the photos. Overall, very happy and will be a return customer!

Beautiful Knife
As the title says, an absolutely beautiful knife. Even better than the photos. Shipping was also reasonable. Very happy, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic knife with beautifully curated handle
Got this as a gift for one of my younger cooks who has been going above and beyond this year. Not only is the caretaking aspect of high carbon steels such as shirogami a great teacher for any future knives they may own, but its such a beautiful tsuchime finish with a fantastic grind that I found myself drooling over it aswell. 10/10 recommend not only Tsunehisa as a maker but Chefs Edge as a curator and purveyor of immaculate kitchen knives.
