Blackwing Volumes Pencils / Volume 140: Culinary Arts

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.

The Blackwing 140 is a tribute to this incredible transformation and the culinary arts it fuels. Each stainless steel-colored pencil includes Blackwing’s versatile balanced graphite (Same as that found in the Blackwing Pearl) that can be used for jotting down ingredients or sketching your plating ideas.

For this release, Blackwing has paired the Volume 140 Pencils with a set of 4×6 Recipe Cards.

Made in the U.S.A. with Japanese Graphite
