Do you really need a couscoussier or an olla? Probably not, but you do want to confidently read the labels off the shelves at Williams-Sonoma. And even though no professional cook would deign to say "food processor," half of them mispronounce "Robot Coupe," the word they use instead (it's a French brand of industrial-strength food processors). Here is SFoodie's pronunciation guide to slightly recherché cooking tools, with links to pictures and descriptions.
Listen to the audio pronunciations as you follow along:
Couscoussier (or couscoussière)
Saibashi
Santoku knife
Tagine (or tajine)
