There’s a moment in every kitchen when time and temperature do something magical. At approximately 140 degrees, a series of complex new compounds are created that transform food into an art form.
The Maillard Reaction is the name science gives to this moment when food begins to brown and flavor takes shape, but cooks know it by heart. It’s a feeling. A sound. A smell. The signal that something real is happening.
It’s the warm scent of freshly baked bread, the nutty flavor of roasted vegetables, and the crackling crust on a seared steak.
The Blackwing 140 is a tribute to this incredible transformation and the culinary arts it fuels. Each stainless steel-colored pencil includes our versatile balanced graphite that can be used for jotting down ingredients or sketching your plating ideas.
- Semi-hexagonal shape that is easy to grip
- Balanced graphite
- Silver ferule
- Japanese graphite with clay for strength and wax for smoothness
- Genuine incense-cedar wood from California and Oregon that sharpens evenly.
- Replaceable eraser
- Set of 12 pencils
