This innovative and multifunctional kitchen tool is much more than just a corkscrew. L'Essentiel CorkOut will open your wine bottles in no time, but will also help you retrieve broken corks that have become stuck, and can't be reached by ordinary corkscrews.

If the cork breaks and small pieces fall into the wine:
1. Insert the CorkOut™ into the bottle, ladle end down.
2. Scoop out the cork piece(s) with the ladle, and then pull the CorkOut™ up and out of the bottle.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as needed to remove all the cork pieces from the wine bottle.

If the whole cork gets pushed into the bottle or a big piece of cork falls into the wine:
1. Insert the CorkOut™ into the bottle, ladle end down.
2. Use the ladle to raise the cork clear of the wine and pull just enough until the indented portion of the CorkOut™ makes it out of the bottle.
3. Affix the corkscrew—which has been redesigned to work exclusively with the CorkOut™—onto this indentation and use the corkscrew's two-step lever system to gradually raise the CorkOut™ until the ladle holding the cork is fully out of the bottle.

The corkscrew features a two-step lever system, which provides maximum leverage for easy cork removal, and a built-in foil-cutter that safely self-retracts when using the corkscrew.
