BeefEater, a great Australian company with one goal….. To make great barbecues!

In 1991 the BeefEater Signature series barbecue was awarded the Australian Design Award for ergonomic design and glass viewing window. In 1999 the company won the New South Wales ‘premier exporter of the year’ award. Then in ‘1999’ and ‘2000’ BeefEater was the 2nd place winner of the prestigious Western Sydney exporter of the year award. In ‘2001’ BeefEater was the outright winner of the Western Sydney exporter of the year award.

During the Sydney 2000 Olympics, BeefEater was selected by the New South Wales Government to be part of the prestigious Australian Technology Showcase to provide an example to the world, of Australian innovation and technology.

The result of extensive research by BeefEater Sales International is a barbecue technique that significantly intensifies the heat generated by the gas burners and radiates it upwards. Less gas is used, juices are vaporised and the natural flavours of the meat are enhanced. Renowned for their durability and strength, BeefEater barbecues will take pride of place in any entertaining area. The product’s modular construction provides the flexibility for consumers to customise their barbecue, thus catering to individual needs.

Ranging from a top of the line stainless steel Signature for the gourmet chef, with roasting hood, wok burner and side shelves to the solid Beefmate with four burners, the “no fuss” barbecue still allows you to cook the best pieces of beef, salmon or marinated chicken. Certified to American, Australian & CE standards, BeefEater barbecues are now sold around the world.

Füritechnics Knives for Professional Chefs and Home Cooks

Enter your text here...

Füritechnics is an Australian-based engineering development company with a mission to produce unique solutions for professional (and serious amateur) cooks. The company was founded by mechanical engineer Mark Henry in Brisbane in July 1996 upon his vision to offer chefs new solutions to old problems, by developing innovative products of unbeatable performance and value, for worldwide distribution.

This value has been achieved with a precise and unbeatable combination of quality, price, and innovative design. Most of the engineering developments are world-first: Füritechnics hold a number of patents, with many more pending, for important advances in this industry:

• Füri handle shape: unique ‘reverse wedge’ handle shape developed to resist hand slip toward the blade. This innovation greatly reduces hand fatigue for working chefs, because less slip means less squeezing is required to do the same work.
• Coppertail’: innovation allowing cooks to rebalance their knives as the blade wears down.
• Diamond Fingers sharpening/honing method; Tech Edge sharpening system; Ozitech sharpener/honer: world-first sharpening/honing tools that replicate the honing action of a traditional chef’s Steel, but eliminate all human angle error to allow everyone to quickly achieve edges that are both perfectly shaped, and perfectly honed.
• FX, Forged eXoskeleton manufacturing method: pioneered by Füritechnics to manufacture stronger and more hygienic professional knives. With this method, the blade, bolster, and the bottom half of the handle are forged from one piece of alloy – instead of forging a tang through the centre and adding handle pieces, we forge the tang into the shape of the handle.

Growth has increased rapidly, fuelled by growing respect among for the Füri brand among experts in many countries. Füri products are market leaders in Australia, and rapidly growing in stature in the USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Europe, and expanding locations around the world.

Extraordinary expansion in the USA, particularly after the endorsement of TV celebrity cook Rachael Ray, led to the establishment of Füritechnics USA Inc in San Francisco in August of 2005.

In late 2007 an all new high performance Füri knife range was developed and launched in association with Stephanie Alexander and the engineers, designers and chefs at Füritechnics. Füri Grip has the same patented Füri handle shape, and now the advantage of a durable thermoplastic elastomer synthetic rubber handle, for the ultimate in comfort and grip. Plus in an exciting new innovation in hygiene for home cooks, Füri Guard™ has been incorporated into the Füri handle moulding. Füri Guard™ is a proven effective antimicrobial agent that helps prevent bacteria from developing on the surface of Füri Grip handles. For long term protection, Füri Guard™ is moulded with the rubberized handle and will not wash off or wear away. All the knives in the Füri Grip range feature the patented Füri handle for comfort and grip, moulded with Füri Guard™ antimicrobial for hygiene, exceptional forged bolster and hardened & tempered German CrMoV stainless steel for edge retention and durability.
