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.

It’s the warm scent of freshly baked bread, the nutty flavor of roasted vegetables, and the crackling crust on a seared steak.

The Blackwing Vol.140 is a tribute to this incredible transformation and the culinary arts it fuels. Each stainless steel-colored pencil includes our versatile balanced graphite that can be used for jotting down ingredients or sketching your plating ideas.

＊Original product packaging will be included when purchasing a unit of 12 pencils in a single order.
＊Slightly marks on the pencil body and on the metal ferrule are normal. For those who seek for the perfect quality of goods are recommended to purchase in the physical store.
