| - There's really nothing standard about Standard Restaurant Supply.
I first went to this store a little over a year ago because I was in the market for a slushee-type machine. In my weird little mind, buying one of those and filling it with margarita mix made perfect financial sense. However, they didn't carry this item but were able to suggest an online source. As I was researching this product, I came to the realization that I really didn't need a machine to freeze my aunt's perfect sneak-up-on-you margarita recipe.
So, flash forward to this weekend and I need quiche and crepe pans. While they carried personal-sized ceramic dishes, I was looking for a larger metal variety--they pointed me to ABC Baking Supplies. As for the crepe pans, they had an assortment of industrial pots and pans but nothing with smaller lip. So, I left to get the quiche dishes. Still, I needed something large enough to make the crepes and I returned to SRS for a skillet. Well, two actually. Getting them home, cleaning them up and making a practice batch of crepes was the highlight of my Saturday--quite an accomplishment when one considers I was at the laundromat at 8 a.m. and grocery shopping before noon...I know, I know: Mine is an exciting life.
And really, I couldn't be happier with my new skillets. Not only were they able to perform well the following day to make crepes on a grill, but they're so big I can sear an entire spatchcocked chicken in it. And the riveted all metal handles allow me to go directly from the stove to the oven without worrying about releasing toxic plastic or rubber chemicals into our home.
