1. ULU Knife
Available only at Lehman’s, our Ulu knife and bowl set is the fastest way to chop and dice. The ULU knife’s crescent-shaped blade is much more practical than long knives for chopping and mincing.
Rock back and forth in the curved hardwood bowl to swiftly dice vegetables, herbs, and garlic; or flip the bowl over for a flat cutting surface. This practical knife has been used by the native people of Alaska for generations. The word ULU means knife in Inuktitut, their language.
2. Skillet Clock
This exclusive, ingenious clock is made by our own Lehman’s craftsmen with a real Lodge cast iron skillet. It’s sure to give any kitchen a fun, classic look. It’s the perfect addition to the chef’s domain (the kitchen!)
3. Steam Juicer
Make delicious artisanal batches of wine and juices right at home on your stovetop – what could be better than that?! Drop fruit in top chamber (grapes on the stem, apple quarters, whole berries), then fill bottom chamber with water and boil. The juice concentrate collects in the center chamber. Empty your juice into a glass to enjoy right away or store it for a special event.
4. Rada Knife Set
The Rada Knives Starter Set gives you a little bit of everything from the versatile Cook’s Knife to specialty knives for slicing tomatoes and bread with ease. It’s the ultimate food prep set – super sharp and made in the USA! Equip your chef’s kitchen with these quality tools for paring, peeling, and slicing.
5. Cast Iron Waffle Maker
Make delectable, crispy-edged, round waffles on any stove or grill and crown them with butter and syrup or fruit. This waffle maker is made with a double rim that effectively ends dripping – no other iron waffle maker has it! Plus, cast iron lasts longer, heats more evenly and holds the heat better than cast aluminum.

Does this waffle maker work on electric stove burners as well?
Great question, Doris! This Waffles maker works best on gas, also works on electric, but not “induction” or smooth glass cooktops. We hope this helps!
