Your Reviewer
Nora Whitfield, CIA Culinary Arts, ServSafe Certified
Nora Whitfield trained at the Culinary Institute of America and spent twelve years in professional kitchens, the last four running the test kitchen for a regional restaurant group where her job was to decide which equipment could survive a dinner service and which could not. She has seasoned more carbon-steel woks than she can count, boiled water in every kettle worth owning, and broken enough cheap gear to know exactly where manufacturers cut corners. She reviews kitchen equipment the way she specified it professionally: cook on it, clean it, and see what it looks like after a month.
