About the Artwork:

Herbert Bayer (1900-1985) was an Austrian-born American graphic designer, painter, and photographer. A pioneer of the Bauhaus movement, Bayer was known for his clean, geometric style and focus on functionality. During World War II, he lent his talents to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), creating impactful posters like "Our Allies Need Eggs" to mobilize American farmers.

In the foreground of the poster, a giant, white egg is featured. The egg contrasts sharply with the background scene of a burning cityscape. Flames lick at the buildings, casting a glow on the smoke-filled sky. The text "Our Allies Need Eggs. Your Farm Can Help" appears in bold lettering.

The poster encourages increased egg production by demonstrating the devastation faced by America's allies during World War II. It serves to highlight the essential role played by American agriculture in supporting the war effort and to call on farmers to be unwavering in their patriotism and contribute to those fighting for freedom overseas.

This heavyweight t-shirt features a unique illustration of the Hollandaise culinary technique. Crafted from premium cotton, this t-shirt is designed for both comfort and durability.

The graphic on the t-shirt's back pays tribute to the hollandaise technique—a classic French sauce technique involving the careful emulsification of egg yolks, melted butter, and a hint of lemon juice. This delicate process requires skillful whisking over gentle heat to create a rich, velvety sauce with a bright, buttery flavor. Mastering hollandaise sauce is a rite of passage for cooks, as it embodies the precision and finesse of fine cooking.

This versatile t-shirt is great for casual wear or kitchen adventures, making it an excellent gift for chefs and gift for foodies alike. Rep your passion for cooking with this standout piece.

Join the cooking revolution with this hand-forged egg spoon.

This egg spoon is made using a combination of traditional and modern blacksmithing tools and techniques. It has a leaf handle giving it a natural organic vibe.

The cooking spoon is pre-seasoned with oil just like a cast iron pan, all it needs is butter and an egg to get cooking.

I can attest from personal use that these little spoons make a mean fried egg.

The egg spoon handle is curved to match the dish so that it can be left flat on the counter while the egg cooks if you are cooking over a stove instead of an open fire.

The handle is 14" and the dish of the spoon is 4 ½" in diameter, for a total length of 18".

Wicks Forge cooking tools are finished in a similar method to seasoned cast iron cookware, and like cast iron pans, if used and cared for in the same manner will last generations. Hand Wash the piece after use (preferably without soap), and then coat with a thin layer of cooking oil after toweling them dry to prevent surface rust. Any surface rust that does form can be removed with a brillow pad, wire brush, or steel scouring pad. Once removed, reseal the piece with a thin layer of cooking oil.
