It must be tempting for a purveyor of kitchen goods to dazzle browsers with gizmos. KitchenArts doesn’t need to. True, it has some trendy doodads (equipment for making those exotic teas you bought last year during your trip to Nepal, for instance), but its raison d’être is to provide the absolute correct tool for any culinary endeavor. There’s more than half a dozen types of rolling pins and just as many whisks, alongside bakeware in every size and shape, All-Clad and Le Creuset pots and pans, and an armory of knives (including reconditioned blades at cut-rate prices).
