They aren't designed for making baby food, almond butter from almonds or grinding frozen meat into paste for making cha lua or hotdogs. Can smell the burning electric motor smell from home appliances. This smell is toxic and emits cancer causing chemicals. The commercial appliances here don't have that problem. Costs more but you have equipment which fits the task. 2) The home pizza ovens which are popular require peels to get the pizze in and out of the 800 degree oven. They sell both metal and wood versions. The pizza stones for home ovens are much cheaper here than Amazon because it costs more to ship heavy items and AMZN adjusts the price to reflect that even though shipping is "free". Prices better than online and you can see the quality of the product. They have both 16 and 12 inch sizes for peels, etc.. The newer lower cost electric/gas home pizza ovens are 12. They have bread baking pans and detroit pizza pans in stock! No need to go online to get them. The long handles for pizza peels make them unattractive for shipping. If they are shipped then price is 2x of what you see here. 3) Cutting boards, they have the fancy John Boos wood cutting board considered by many to be the best made to cheaper and lighter bamboo boards and poly ones. All come in larger sizes. Not the smaller sizes sold in costco. Much better variety here. Same comment as above for pizza stones. Cheaper than online because heavy items are expensive to ship. Will never get a sub $50 price for a large cutting board online but you can here. 4) Kitchen utensils, heat proof spatulas, long handled stainless steel soup spoons, slotted spoons; stainless steel serving tongs, thermometers, everthing 1/3 - 1/4 the cost of williams sonoma with more useful design like longer handles for deep stock pots. WS doesn't sell long handled spoons. spatulas, because most home cooks have cheaper small pots and skillets. 5) steamers, they have larger sized bamboo and stainless steel steamers for making dimsum. The Asian markets have a limited selection of steamers and WS or costco will never sell steamers. Designed for Asian cuisine. Steaming much healthier then other forms of cooking. 6) Glassware, they have the larger Picardie, 16oz+ in stock! They don't break. Most RS stores only sell cheaper imitations but they are the same price and the Picardie glasses here and lousy quality. 7) Plastic serverware; they sell larger dimension plastic serving platters; good for parties or home use. The larger ones made of porcelain are too heavy and difficult to store. They only go up to a certain size because of cost. Recently most serverware is more than 100-300 each because of inflation. They see reduced sales because of the increased prices and most places are transitioning to not carrying these higher cost items.

She also gave me a discount since she recognizes me all the time when I go there. Since the place is pretty big, the items on shelves can be messy and dusty from time to time.

Shopping was uncomfortably cold and did not invite me to spend more time in the store in winter, but they did have quite a few adorable cups, plates, and mugs, although I would say most of what they carry doesn't fit any specific theme.

For anyone looking to purchase Calphalon in any location NOT directly from Meyers Location-DO NOT…read morepurchase in any store. I purchased a pan by Calphalon and the pan came with "5 Year Warranty (I actually purchased a griddle as well that also is defective and just took it as a loss but when it happened a second time within the same timeframe I felt the need to ask the the Meyers Corporation to stand behind their documented warranty) but after 4 months of waiting for a reply on replacing my pan I was first informed that the photos I submitted were not good, so I sent updated photos now the next excuse is that I did not purchase the item directly from Meyers so they will not stand behind their guarantee. I will be informing the store that I made the purchase at that they may want to consider the product they are selling on behalf of Meyers Corporation due to false advertising on the label that clearly states 5 Year Warranty and Not to Return to the Store so that is contradicting I will not purchase any Faberware, Calphalon, Circulon, Anolon, Cookware, Paula Deen, Rachael Ray, Ayesha Curry, Bonjour, Ruffoni, and Silverstone, which will limit my choices but I need products that will last more than 6 months and a company that will stand by their product. This is not a rant it is merely information for anyone looking to make a purchase to truly think about and ask when making the purchase. I saved my receipt and sent with the photos of the item twice as was asked to and I am trying to save frustration with a faulty product and no refund or replacement instead I was offered 25% off a purchase. I am taking a loss on the two purchases and I am being asked to purchase more items that are not good. I was unable to see any value in the few months I used the product

That peaked my interest especially since I am a kitchen gadget connoisseur. I quickly found parking and beelined into the shop. The shop had a bit of everything essential for a kitchen... cutting boards, glassware, silverware, pots/pans, bakeware, gadgets, knives...and then some. The prices were competitive even to online sellers. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They even partner with local craft makers to sell their ware's such G. Shaver cutting boards that are works of art and B. Davis custom made to order oven boards. Regarding the parking, there is unmetered street parking in the front of the shop. But they also have their own parking lot in the back of the shop with ADA spots. Great, especially if parallel parking ain't your thing.

Le Creuset Outlet Store turned out to be a great stop while shopping at Vacaville Premium Outlets…read more We were looking for a birthday gift for a friend who loves cast-iron cookware, and after browsing for a bit, we ended up purchasing a traditional round skillet that matched the color of her existing cookware. The associate helping us was very patient and helpful, especially when it came to choosing the right color combination. The store itself is not huge, but it carries a surprisingly large variety of cookware and kitchen items. Since it's an outlet location, you won't necessarily find every style or color available in full retail stores, but the pricing is noticeably better. We've also been trying to slowly move away from some nonstick cookware and toward cast iron and other materials, so it was nice to see so many quality options in one place. Overall, it was a very pleasant shopping experience with helpful staff and good value.

To be honest, Le Creuset doesn't really have a lot of whole new exciting products. On the other…read morehand their classic lineup is exciting. So I headed in to take a look at all the pieces I didn't have. 25 years ago, I would've crumbled and purchased everything. Now I've grown up a lot and learned how to use straight up cast-iron. since I can make my own nonstick coating, Le Creuset suddenly looks expensive and kind of over the top. The one great thing about that enamel cast-iron, it resistant to acidic foods which means you can cook just about anything you want in the Le Creuset without switching to stainless steel or any other material. Since Le Creuset shouldn't be heated past medium, you still have to switch to stainless steel if you want high heat. Nevertheless, if you're making a stew, a Dutch oven from this company rules. So I took a close look at the Dutch ovens. They have quite the lineup. There were the adorable little ones which look cute but cook hardly any food. there were the more medium size ones, but since I already have one, I don't need the one that's one size down or one size up. Which leads to the 8 to 9 quart Dutch oven. Honestly as a single person 8 to 9 quarts is pretty impractical. Also, where would I store it. Nevertheless, I drooled. I was quite amused to see the big signs announcing the fresh new colors. They just don't have very many marketing gimmicks that they can apply to classic cookware. The one really nice thing about the store is the full lineup of cookware that this company makes. There aren't a lot of places that have anywhere near the stock that this store has. It's a great place to check out some of the harder to find items. Just make sure to ask about cosmetic defects. I purchased my pot from an outlet store 20 years ago. The staff person was very meticulous and showed me the exact cosmetic defect in the pot I purchased. She also warned me that the outlet products were not covered by the usual warranty. I purchased the pot and the cosmetic defect was indeed cosmetic. The pot cooked great. Luckily I've never needed the warranty. So make sure you ask.
