Waiters Corkscrew - Making the Waiters Corkscrew and the Cork Puller Work
What is it that you shouldn’t go without if you are hosting a formal dinner and serving wine at home? This is the most often missed kitchen and bar tool, but it is one that is definitely one of the more practical things that you should have at home especially if you have wine. Along with your bottle opener and your wine and ice bucket, make sure that you also have your good old handy corkscrew to open your wine bottles with! A good corkscrew to have at home would be the waiters corkscrew which is not just handy but easy to use as well.
This type of corkscrew is also sometimes called as the sommeliers knife. This is due to the fact that among the classic corkscrew designs, it is the waiters corkscrew that folds. This safety design allows this corkscrew to be safely carried in your pocket without risking getting injured with the sharp 2-inch worm. Once folded it can easily fit into your jacket’s pocket.
Another common corkscrew design is the wing corkscrew which is also called by many wine enthusiasts as the butterfly corkscrew. This is a good kitchen and bar tool to have at home. This is also easy to use as the wings or levers slowly lift once you have the screw inserted into the cork. You need not pull the corkscrew up after you have the worm inserted. All you need to do would be to pull the levers or the wings down and viola! Your cork should slide out easily and you can start enjoying your bottle of wine.
Another kitchen tool that you can use to open your wine bottle would be the twin prong cork puller. This does not use a worm to pull the cork out. It works by inserting the prongs right between the cork and the bottle’s neck. Once you have inserted the prongs, all you need to do would be to twist it slowly and out goes the cork, undamaged.
Whatever tool you would like to use, whether you are more comfortable using the twin pronged cork puller, the wing or butterfly corkscrew or the waiters corkscrew the trick is to properly insert the screw at the right angel, position the bottle in an even level and slowly and skillfully complete the task with ease, avoiding the mess that a damaged corkscrew and a cracked bottle mouth will create.
