The Field #12 cast iron pan is awesome! I’m finding myself trying to think of meals to use it, rather than deciding on meals I am in the mood for. It is also really pretty! It looks too good to put away in a cupboard, I leave it on my counter for me to admire! It’s surprisingly light as well. It’s lighter and bigger than my Le Crueset braising pan which is what I replaced it with. The only problem is, it’s heirloom quality and I have no one to will it to!!

This is by far the best bread knife I have ever used! I was amazed how it cleanly cut through a croissant without any tugging, tearing or squishing, which the bread knife (a good quality brand)I was replacing did! This new knife seems to glide thought bread and buns and it has a really good balance in my hand.

I have only had espresso coffee makers in my house (fancy! I know!) since I started drinking coffee (late in life) and this machine has been the easiest to use (even my house-guests figured it out), the most elegant and tastiest coffee (even using the SAME beans)!! Cooks Culture is an excellent company to deal with too, and answered all my questions.

We love the high quality of the de Buyer carbon steel pans and have added this larger one to our collection. Works wonderfully for a large stir fry, browning meats etc. Once seasoned, these pans are amazing!! Thanks for bringing in great quality products!

We use our 'Escali' scale every day, some days numerous times. It's very easy to use and love the sleek design. We use it for measuring all types of food and It's especially great for measuring sourdough ingredients. It's a tool we could not be without in our kitchen. Thank you Cook Culture for bringing in such awesome products!!

Are all pans equal? No. I watched Jed’s videos comparing different pans and was convinced to try the Atlantis following his high recommendations. Jed is on point - this saucepan definitely cooks evenly, performs as promised and is worth it. I bought the 1.5 and 3.0 L saucepans. If you’re just boiling veggies in water, get a cheaper pan. If you’re serious about sauces, cooking of rice and grains, and making sure heat is evenly distributed, get the Atlantis pans.

I've only cooked a couple of things in this pan but it is great. Easy to shake the food as it cooks and it heats nice and evenly. I'm a de Buyer Mineral B fan and have almost a complete set of their line. They are a little heavy for some but the quality and performance (once seasoned) is second to none.

This knife is well made and not heavy but still strong enough to cut through tougher veggies. It is a perfect size for my smaller hands and feels nicely balanced when I do my weekly food prep. Bonus was that I snagged it on sale.

I bought the Emile Henry Bread Cloche for my wife for her birthday. She had jumped on the sourdough pandemic band-wagon and had been using our Crueset to back her bread. The Bread Cloche is a game changer. Her previous loaves were really good, but with the Cloche, her bread rises higher, has a crisper crust and is more moist! Simply delicious and highly recommended.

Love this pan. Had my first go at baking baguettes with my new pan and wow, what a great result. They came out perfect. Looking forward to many more successful bakes.

This Field is an excellent cast iron pan. I used a Lodge cast iron for about 30 years, and it was great, but the Field is at a completely different level. I was debating between this and the Stargazer, which I'm sure is also an outstanding skillet, but I thought the Field would fit better in my tiny galley kitchen. I've had no trouble with food sticking or cleaning up, and I use this almost everyday for anything that requires a fry pan. The Field is superb, I'm very happy with my purchase an...

I got this one for the big size. I like to roll out my pizza dough quite thin. The handles are ergonomic and feel safe taking in and out of the high heat needed for pizza cooking. So easy to clean thanks to the glazed ceramic. Lastly, the ridged texture gives a very crisp crust.

When I first opened my package from Cook Culture, the board smelled very strong in an unpleasant chemical way. After breathing for a couple of days, the smell went away. If this will give you an adverse reaction, I suggest buying it directly from the store, already aired out and neutral smelling. This board works for me because I wanted something lightweight, and two sided - one for foods that are juicy and the other side for not juicy. Silicone handles on both sides to grip the counter are he...

I really enjoy this store and have so many items in it. They are the best, treat yourself and you'll enjoy them for many, many years. The staff are exceptionally friendly and approachable but never pushy. I recommend it unequivocally.

I had a paring knife and a chef knife sharpened, ready for pickup a day and a half after a dropped them off. Very impressed with the quick turn around time and the quality of the sharpening. If you’re not interested to hand sharpen at home, I definitely suggest dropping them off at Cook Culture.

After 5 uses I'm very content with this choice. Although it's a "dumb" device, I actually like that about it. I'm also glad to know this thing will never stop working due to issues with an app (What happens if anova goes out of business? Will the app stop working, and will the device stop working as well?) This thing heats water very quickly, it's not loud, and it's very precise. The control interface was easy enough for me to figure out without reading the manual. The build quality seems exce...

We love our new cutting board. We recently moved into a new home with a chef inspired kitchen and needed to upgrade our cutting board game! This one certainly did the trick :)

I hate buying cheap stuff that doesn’t last. The goal with the Zwilling kettle is to buy a good one and keep it a long time. I can’t tell you how that’s going to work out but I can tell you that it’s a nicely made kettle that feels like it ought to last. The lid opens wide to reveal an easy-to-clean interior. The body of the kettle is made in a way that there isn’t a join at the bottom between the base and the sides to collect gunk, unlike our old kettle. The kettle doesn’t have a window to ...

I traded my terrible nonstick wok in for this beautiful Mineral B wok, and I'm so glad I did. It took me a while to get it seasoned, but now it has a lovely patina and distributes the heat evenly. I've only made one stirfry with it so far but I was very pleased with the results.

The machine is great! My husband loves being able to use the app to make a coffee while he is on a call so when he has a break he can quickly retrieve it! I like all the drink options.

My wife and I absolutely love this pan. We washed it and tried it right out of the box and it was great. We've seasoned it 4 times in the oven since and can't say enough about it. Fantastic purchase. Thanks!

The class was a fun, social event. Chef Matt was engaging and explained everything very well. My friend and I were inspired to throw a dinner party for six with this Thai theme, and the reception was unanimously positive.

Love this little tea pot. The strainer top prevents any leaves from getting into my cup. Works perfectly. I use it every day. Thankyou. Loved visiting your shop. Will be back soon to get my knives sharpened and buy the long pizza cutter.

I love my mineral b pans. I use it like a lighter cast iron for steering meat and sauté, great for frying eggs. Easy to look after once they’re seasoned

My son bought this while visiting me in Victoria because he just had to have his beans done by hand grinding : ) Fortunately for me he left it at my place and I decided to try it out. It was fantastic. I grind one serving at a time with pretty consistent results. Also, it is quieter than electric so I do not feel guilty making coffee at 6 am while my neighbours are still sleeping.

I have purchased the A3500 for my wife and one of my daughters. My other daughter thought she could manage with her existing blender but changed her mind when she saw the performance of her mother's and sister's Vitamix. She felt the A2300 had the features important to her and has been very pleased. I am also very impressed as I am the beneficiary of the variety of foods prepared! As the designated dishwasher, I find the cleanup of the Vitamix exceedingly easy and thorough.

This is our first carbon steel pan and so far I’m pleased. It’s still new but seasoning up nicely (thanks for the thorough schooling on seasoning via videos, Jed.) I’m looking at following up with a smaller version of the same pan soon!

Makes light work of applesauce, to be sure, which is lovely and smooth, yet full of nutrients as apples cooked with skins on. Easy to use, even with an arthritic hand. Looking forward to other applications.

I love love love this pan. Your video on various cast iron fry pans inspired me. It is a bit of a learning curve but I’ll get there. Sautéed onions. Veggie fried rice. Breaded pork. Oh my. I could do all the pork at once instead of in batches. And it seared perfectly. Thanks for all the great info you share in your videos.

With one visit I was able to find the exact knife I was looking for and the individual who I gave it to for a birthday gift was beyond thrilled and he says it works great for trimming the large cuts of meat we often have!

I have purchased the Field 10 and Field 8 pans. For 2 people the no 8 is a great size and nice to have the no 10 when needed. It takes some work to maintain the pans but the chain mail scrubby and seasoning wax do a great job and if used after every use the pan stays in good condition with little buildup.

Delivery was quick and the product was just as advertised. The toast slots are deep so you can toast your favourite loaf bread top to bottom in one go. Overall, very pleased so far. Includes a warranty to make things even better

My only regret is that I didn’t buy this De Buyer Mineral B Pro 11 inch carbon steel frying pan sooner. It’s quality is superb and the stainless steel handle is very comfortable. I used Jed’s oven method to season the pan with three applications of his seasoning paste over the course of three days. I can only describe the result as spectacular and the pan is a delight to cook with. I will never buy a ‘non stick’ pan again. I highly recommend the pan and Cook Culture as a company.

My very first purchase from Cook Culture. Just found out about them when looking for a butcher block cutting board, online, as a gift for my daughter. I ordered a John Boos 24" x 18" cutting board. It arrived damaged. Emailed Customer Service. They immediately refunded my credit card and sent me a shipping label to return the cutting board. I requested to have the cutting board replaced. The new cutting board was shipped out immediately and arrived today in prestine condition. Excellent ...

We were particularly happy with the service we received at Cook Culture when we had to return the first Zwilling toaster. Very shortly after I had written the review and sent off a photo of its uneven toasting, I was contacted by Customer Service. We were asked to return the toaster so that it could be exchanged, as Zwilling has an excellent warranty. The Blanshard Street store had the toaster ready and waiting for us and the exchange went very smoothly. Thank you for such impressive customer...

This is a great cutting board and just the right size for us. The recessed hand grips are a great addition to this board as is the versatility of being able to use the side with the grooved edge for slicing meats and the reverse side for other foods.

Bought this as a launching peel for outdoor pizza oven and it is working very well. The uncooked crust does not stick to the peel when launching the pizza and the beveled end makes it easy to get the pizza onto the peel. It is a good size for the 16 inch oven.
