Kunz tasting spoon, HELP.

[Doofa]

Hi folks.

I have a slight dilemma. I want/need a couple of Gray Kunz's tasting spoons. Whether I need them or not is a different issue, but I need them. I ordered from J B Prince and then hit the postage cost wall, almost 50% of order total. I'm happy to pay a reasonable postage but not silly money. As an exercise I ordered a similar spoon ( Mercer ) I think, from US Amazon, no problem, £17.00 order value + £4.00 shipping, it's on the way. Dead easy. This is to be delivered from USA to Isle of Man, UK. for those that don't know it's the home of the TT races and an Island between England and Ireland. It's not off the map.

 

Is there a New York or visitor to New York that can help this poor island living soul. All cost/risk are of course mine.

 

As a slight aside to the above. What culinary bit of kit would you re-enter the burning house to rescue?

 

 

Hope a fellow egulleteer can help.

 

My Best

Don't know how shipping will compare but "Chef Knife To Go" sells a knockoff of the Kunz spoon(s).

Burning building re-entry.  Hmmm.

 

Breville Smart Oven and the Anova.

Look up reshippers. They're companies that specialize in providing a US address for shipments that get forwarded internationally.

I'd run back into the house to save my chamber vacuum sealer, but I don't think I'd make it out alive.

Dog - first and foremost.

If I thought I could make it back out alive, I would be running back for the chamber vac, the Thermomix and the HR freeze-drier. Everything else is wonderful but much cheaper to replace, and I doubt insurance will reimburse me enough to pay for the big items. However, it seems to me that if I could safely run back and forth 3 times I probably should have grabbed the extinguisher and put it all out instead.

I tried CKTG to see how their shipping stacked up. Added an $8.50 plating spoon to basket. When entering an address I can't actually select the Isle of Man (not uncommon ) so I entered UK. apply shipping of $43-50 tot:- $52-00. For a spoon. I'll have to think of something else.

 

The one time I was in a burning building I grabbed my cat, my wallet, and my raincoat.  I can't think of any kitchen equipment for which I'd risk my life.  Particularly with all the hazmat bottles lying around.
