About The Professional Cookware Place
Thanks for your interest in The Professional Cookware Place.
Our mission is to search out the best professional stainless steel cookware and cutlery, the same kitchen tools used in better restaurants and the food service industry, and make them available to serious home chefs.
We like to cook ourselves, and have come to appreciate equipment that does its job right. To find it, we always figured the pros could be relied on for guidance. After all, they do it for a living, so they know what works and how much it should cost. So for years, whenever we could, we've prowled around restaurant supply stores, commercial kitchens, restaurant auctions, shows, you name it, always on the lookout for the good stuff. Then we've used it ourselves, so we've learned what really works in the home kitchen. Now we're bringing what we've found to you.
Here is a link to an article by Mark Bittman , the New York Times food columnist, famous for his no-nonsense approach to all things food and cooking. He sums up our philosophy about kitchenware better than we can. While you may not need to go quite this far, he illustrates an important fact--you can do a great job in your kitchen using practical tools that won’t drain your bank account.
We know there are many places you can buy good-quality cookware, on the internet and in stores. So why shop with us? We're different because we focus exclusively on true professional kitchen equipment, including professional stainless steel cookware and professional knives, as well as professional-grade ovenware, utensils, and accessories. Most of our cookware and knives are certified by NSF, the leading standards organization for commercial cookware and the best quality assurance program for sanitation and safety there is (read more about NSF in our FAQ page). So if you buy from us, you can be sure you're getting good quality at a fair price, and not just because we say so.
We feel strongly that our professional stainless steel cookware, professional cutlery, and other products are as good as the competition, often better. Not only that, our prices are better. Compare an All Clad pan to our very similar Paderno Tri-Ply line. Here is a summary of some recent well-known internet retailer prices on All-Clad products compared to ours (details are on the FAQ Page):
2 Quart saucepan with lid: Their All-Clad pan from $120 to $140; our comparable Paderno $69.90, sometimes less on sale
10 Inch frypan: Their All-Clad $100; our comparable Paderno $82.95, sometimes less on sale.Prices change all the time, but the overall picture is clear. Further, our other lines, Sitram and Update, are even more reasonable. Our prices for those respectively are, for the 2 Qt. saucepan, $61.90 and $18.95, and for the 10" frypan, $59.95 and $23.95.
