Museum Gel is the name of the transparent compound used to secure small items in the pantry. The name comes from its main use in exhibitions to secure exhibits against tipping over. The advantages: secure hold, but also easy and residue-free removal. This is how the small basil pot or the egg timer can be attached. A small amount of gel is removed from the tin, pressed onto the object to be secured and then placed in position. Reusable after removal. 12 euros. More information: Preservationequipment.com
Tinned fish is not exactly the epitome of indulgence. The Mademoiselle Perle vintage sardines from France are a different story. The small fish in olive oil from the years 2016 to the present are available individually or as a set. Ten vintages can be ordered as a set. Each vintage tin is designed with its own work of art. The set is intended to offer the opportunity to compare the different flavours of the various vintages. The Mademoiselle Perle 10 vintage cans collection costs 109 euros. Fine tins with mackerel or tuna fillets are also available. More information: Maitrephilippe.com
