i really like the answer given by ricnnl, but i meant are there any cooking utensils invented by or any methods originated in Germany

Answer 1

When you plan on cooking in German manner, you will be in need of a lot of pots and serving spoons, spatulas, forks, turners, scrapers and tongs. Big pots that can be placed over open fires are specific to this cuisine. Also, baking pots and dishes are very popular in the German cuisine, since a lot of meals are prepared in the oven rather then on a electric fire. Ceramic dishes and plates with floral design are representative for a German cuisine, and there are also wooden spatulas that are frequently used in the cooking process. Food processors, mixers, grinders and splatters are of great utility in this cuisine, especially in the Sausage making process, and for grating hard condiments like black pepper or cinnamon.
Cooking a traditional German dish requires one to not only know the recipe that is being prepared, but also to be able to choose the right bottle of wine that goes with your meal, the perfect dessert after lunch, as well as a fitting appetizer to start dinner with. You may also want to know how to prepare traditional German desserts in a visually appealing way. Desserts are often topped with whipped cream or, less commonly, glazed caramel for a pleasant display. Nowadays however, many German workers often perfer eating at fast food restaurants due to lack of time during their lunch break. German cooking also has specific techniques for preparing sous vide, frozen, freeze-dried, and oven-dried foods. the Sausage making process is a complicated but interesting one. In sausage making pig’s guts are used as a casing for the ground meat and spice filling. Popular German sausages are, among others, the Bratwurst, the Frankfurter, and, in Bavaria, the Weisswurst. These days, just about all types of sausages can be bought prepacked in the super market, but many people still prefer them home-made or from their local butcher.

Hope this helps.

I don't know much about the German invention of cooking utensils (I mean how can you trace the invention of a spoon to any particular culture?) but I do know that Germans are famous for a number of cooking supplies, namely:

nutcrackers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutcracker)
cooking knifes (especially Henckels brand)
spits used to cook or roast meats, fish and sausages
etc..

I think your best bet would be to check out some books about culinary history and German cookbooks.

As far as cooking methods go, this is a pretty complicated subject as Germans use a variety of methods to cook their food. Just look at any German baking book (backenbuch?) and you'll understand why. For example, one such common method for baking is to add vanilla-sugar (vanille zucker, common brand Oetker) to sweet doughs and cake batter to add a mild, sweet vanilla taste, instead of adding vanilla extract. Another cooking method is to cook foods with beer or kirsch.

Personally I think it would be more interesting to look at German methods of cooking and what they are famous for rather than inventions of utensils. But then I don't really know what your whole paper is about.

Oh, is there a difference of cooking utensils? I see them both having the same. Highly techno countries have almost the same utensils. pots, pans, stove, ranges, cookers, etc...=)

Puree the sauce, let reduce a little. Add creme fraiche or sour creme, add salt and pepper to your taste. 7. Cut meat into slices, serve. Traditional side dishes are potatoes or Kloesse (dumplings), and some vegetable like Rotkraut (that is hot red crabbage). In some areas of germany, they add raisins and sliced apples to the sauce so that it gets a more sweet-and-sour taste.
