Set of small diameter "corers", where to buy

[Jørgen Sørheim]

I was working in a restaurant a month ago, where they used a set of "corers" for a few items on the menu, like making 5mm cucumber rods and 1cm flakes of spinach/shaved beet root.

It came as a set from 5mm-20mm, I think, and had a small poker for the smaller diameters. Does anyone know what this is called and where I could purchase a set?

They were probably part of a set of garnishing tools which can have an extensive array of punches, corers, cutters and etc.

This is just the selection from one vendor. There are other vendors who have even more sets and individual tools.

Koki from Japanese Knife Imports found me a set of these from Mizuno. It goes down to 8mm or so and they nest like bowls. I don't remember how much it was.

You might be able to get away making those using a meat slicer (for thin "flakes") and a spiralizer (for cucumber spaghetti). You know... just until you find exactly what you saw!!

Ciao,
