| - Now, Sur La Table is a new concept for me, I had never heard of it prior to moving into Cleveland. So when I got here and needed to stock up my kitchen I headed over to Williams-Sonoma. I love cooking in Le Creuset and was underwhelmed with the offerings at a couple of their stores in the area so I finally asked one of the sales associates if there was another store in the city that sold them. She thought about it for a moment and then pointed me in the direction of Sur La Table. The moment I walked in the door and saw the shelves piled high with every type of kitchen implement imaginable, I knew Williams-Sonoma had lost a customer!
Every time I come in this store, I walk out with some new baking item, it's very hard for me to resist grabbing something new to take home and try out. In fact, I think my breaking point has almost been reached since my poor little kitchen can't really hold that much more....but I'm sure I could find room for that candy thermometer....and the madeline pan.....oh and I could probably squeeze in a baking stone for my bread too (haven't looked to see if they actually carry these but I wouldn't be surprised!).
I bought one sauce pan from the Sur La Table line, and I must say that it has served me well. Nice design, good heat distribution and works well for everything from gravy to chocolate....best thing about it? Cheap! I like to save money when I can and their own line allows you to do that with ease, it's more realistic than customers going and buying the copper-clad pots at Williams-Sonoma....I don't even want to look at some of those price tags, Yikes!
If you like cooking or baking, be sure to make this a destination for some jaw-dropping browsing, if you don't walk out of the store with something in your hands, you'll definitely walk out with some new ideas for your time in the kitchen. -1 star only because I'm not a huge fan of their dinnerware section....if you're going to have plates and glasses, do it right or just get rid of it.
