Thai Stone Mortar and Pestle
Made in Thailand of 100% carved super hard granite, this durable high quality Asian cookware product is an important tool for Thai cooking as well as around the world. Exactly what TV's "Naked Chef" has in his kitchen (he uses the 8", which is large enough for making lots of pesto, tapenade and mixing sauces). Use it to infuse fresh ground flavors of basil, sage, tarragon, garlic, pepper and much more. This is the highest quality mortar and pestle you will ever find. Each mortar is cut from a solid granite rock and carefully carved. You'll know when you pick it up that it will last a lifetime--each 6" mortar and pestle weighs 7 pounds, with 1.5 cup capacity. The 8" mortar/pestle, the most popular and useful size, as you can really get your hands in it and work but it't not too heavy--it weighs 14+ lbs and has a 3+ cup capacity. The 9" is for serious users, it weighs 24 lbs with 6 cup capacity. For more info about this product, click here. |

Thai Street Vendor Steel Wok: Back in Stock!
For years we've sold a sturdy, modern, carbon-steel flat-bottom wok (below) made in Taiwan that's perfect for American kitchens, but since we started our Thai Street Vendor Video Series many customers have asked us to offer a wok identical to the sidewalk chefs. We sold out last year, and here it is again: the same wok Thai street vendors use. You can see it in action here. The steel is 16 guage (1/16" thick), fairly light, which is just right for constant use because it get's hot easy and it's not too heavy to handle all day. It's a round-bottom wok, the beechwood hand sets at a nice upward angle. 14" across the top which is the most common size. For electric stovetops we also offer a wok stand to stabilize the round-botto wok. It works perfectly, 9" diameter. Higly recommended accessory: our long handle stainless wok turner. Made in Thailand. |

Thai Wok Set, Carbon Steel, Side-Handle, Flat Bottom
Carbon Steel is a natural "non-stick" material which makes this the ideal wok for cooking Thai food. It's preseasoned so you can start using immediately, and the more the pan is used, the more durable it becomes. Carbon steel is superior for fast efficient heating and even heat distribution. It can withstand the high temperatures necessary for stir-fry cooking yet does not peel or crack. Most importantly, it's natural. Click for more info.

Bamboo Steamer Set
Steam cooking is clean cooking, and offers advantages to boiling and other wet-heat methods. Our premium quality bamboo steamers control texture and color of food (especially vegetables). You get more nutrition and flavor since fewer vitamins and minerals are lost. Also use it to reheat food. This product perfectly complements our carbon steel wok, as it fits half-way up the wok. Just put a few cups of water in the wok and place bamboo steamer on it, and heat to a boil. Bamboo steamer set has 12" diameter, 3 pieces (two trays, each 3" tall, lid is 2.5" tall), stands 8.5" tall. Click for more info.

Thai Juice Cart Container
Juice and coffee vendors selling from carts in Thailand often use these large, round, hand-blown glass containers to display their fresh drinks, as shown in the picture below a coffee and tea vendor has them in front, simply covered with plates.
A few months ago we got an email from a lady who recognized them in our story of the coffee and tea vendor. She said her mother-in-law brought one home from Thailand in the 1970s, loved it, but it had broken after 30 years of use. She asked us if we could get one to replace her mother's favorite glass container. What a nice daugher! Here is our daughter Claire showing off two quarts of fresh Lime Aid she made on a sunny day, in the juice cart container that we now have available for you. Consider our 3/8 cup capacity soup ladle also, it goes together well with the container.
It's about 11" tall, 7" wide, and holds a generous 25 cups (1.6 gallons). The glass is just right--durable but not too thick which would make it too heavy. In order to safely get these here from Thailand we had to have them packed into a custom wood crate, and we double-box them when shipping to you via UPS, so the price is a lot higher than what you might pay in Bangkok. We think it's a treasure you'll really enjoy especially during summer. Product of Thailand. |

Lao-style Mortar and Pestle
Handmade in Thailand of long-lasting clay, this is a traditional mortar & pestle used to make a wide range of Thai and Laotian dishes--see our recipe for som tum for a popular favorite. This mortar is a crude, simple fired clay, very "rustic" in apearance and definitely not a work of art; however, it's highly functional. Our clay mortar and pestle was featured in The New York Times Style Magazine. The mortar is 7 in. deep and 8 in. wide, with a capacity of approx 10 cups. The pestle is made of beechwood (as any other material would break the mortar) and is 12 in. long.

"Hot Pot" Thai soup serving bowl with lid
Traditional method of serving all kinds of Thai soups, in particular Tom Yum and Tom Kha. Many Thai restaurants use this pot with a bit of sterno fuel in the bottom tray, as shown below, or use a small tea lite candle at the base to keep the soup hot. This is a nice size, 24 cm in diameter (10 inches), capacity of 8 cups. Made of relatively thick, sturdy, buffed, shiny aluminum. We're certain you'll love serving soup in this hot pot. The lid has two handles and the side of the pot has handles for ease of use. Made in Thailand.

Thai Chinese-style stacked steamer, 26 cm
Here is an inexpensive and very effective, intelligently-designed stacked steamer. Made of durable aluminum, this steamer is approximately 11" wide (26 cm which is ideal width, anything bigger and it won't work well on American stovetops) and 13" tall, and is comprised of four separate pieces. The bottom layer holds the water (up to 4 quarts), and fits nicely over any stovetop. The next two layers are similar to racks, as they have holes for letting steam pass through (see picture below). The top piece is a domed lid which is designed to prevent water from dripping on the food, and it accomodates larger food on the top layer. Much better than a bamboo steamer, as it's far easier to clean and can do more. Steam fresh fish, meat, and vegetables with this and enjoy a healthier meal. Product of Thailand. More Info

New: Vietnamese Coffee & Filter
We love the very unique aroma, flavor and preparation style of good quality Vietnamese coffee. It's pure arabica, just slightly lighter than a French roast, and smooth not acidic. The premium quality coffee is grown and roasted in Vietnam, and ground to the appropriate coarseness, so you know you're getting the real thing. It's also vacuum packed in a modern can.
Preparing delicious Vietnamese coffee is quick, easy and doesn't require much clean-up afterward. The coffee filter is stainless steel and there are three parts (filter, screw-on damper, and lid). Printed instructions come with the filter. Simply place the filter on top of a cup, so it looks like a hat. Add 2-3 teaspoons of coffee to the filter, then screw on the damper so it's snug (not tight). Click for more pictures and preparation details. |

Kratong Tong Mold, Brass.
One of our favorite Thai appetizers is Kratong Tong, and if you haven't heard about it that's probably because Thai restaurants rarely offer it. Kratong Tong is time-consuming to prepare but at the same time simple, fun, and extremely tasty.
This handmade brass mold is designed to make Kratong Tong, see more pictures in our detailed Kratong Tong Recipe for a step-by-step guide on how to use it. Total height is 10 inches. The top part of the handle is wood. The rest of the mold is brass. There are four cups on each mold, and the cups are shaped by hand in a similar but unique pattern. Each cup is about 2 inches across. |

Thai Condiment Caddy
The condiment caddy is found in nearly every restaurant in Thailand, and here we have for a reasonable price the finest quality set we could find. Known in Thai as a "Puang Prik", the caddy itself is made of stainless steel. Also stainless steel are the long spoons, perfectly shaped for scooping, and the lids that cover the glasses.
You get four glasses, four lids, four spoons and the caddy itself. The capacity of each glass is 3/4 cup. The caddy is 6 inches tall, from base to the top of the handle (not too big, not too small).
Aside from being a true authentic Thai food required accessory, it might be a fun way to present non-Thai spices, jams, bacon bits, relish, onions, ice cream toppings, candy, or anything else you can think of. Click for more pictures and description.

Tamarind Cutting Board. Here is the best cutting board you'll likely find anywhere. A solid block of end-grain exotic hardwood from a tamarind tree. Tamarind wood is well-known in Thailand as the very best for cutting boards, used to make all Thai recipes. This round slice from the center of a tamarind tree is about 10" in diameter and an impressive 3" thick. The wood is extremely dense, so dense that even 40 grit sandpaper on an industrial belt sander will hardly reduce it, yet gentle on your knife. With end grain wood, especially from the tamarind tree, your knife will stay sharp a lot longer because as it hits the board the grains are straight (like a super-tight brush) rather than sideways. You will find Thai tamarind cutting boards only at ImportFood.com.
What makes this cutting board so special? Typically, cutting boards use flat planks of cross-cut wood, which makes your knife blade go dull quickly. End-grain wood is superior, and end-grain butcher blocks sell for a high price but those are made of little blocks glued together. For generations in Thailand, cooks have always used the wood of solid tamarind tree because it's the perfect material. Indeed, customers have noted from our street vendor photo and our street vendor video series that all chefs are using the same style of cutting board. We are happy to introduce this to you. Click here to see more pictures and information about our Tamarind Cutting Board. |
