The best source for kitchen equipment
by bonlikesit ,Jan 28 '04
I bought a fabulous set of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized cookware and a marble pastry board from Cooking.com. I initially stumbled onto the store because it was one of the very few results I turned up while searching for a marble slab. They've had other specific and obscure items I've looked for as well. The website is easy as pie to navigate. I opted for the free Super Saver shipping and the speed surprised me! Cooking.com stepped right up when I had an issue with the lid of my stockpot not fitting right. They emailed me a postage-paid label with which I was to return the defective lid. They sent me a new lid before I even got it sent! Cooking.com gets a five star rating from me!

I received an e-mail notice on June 7, 2004 that the shipment had been processed and passed on to USPS and they gave me the USPS tracking number. I received the product on June 16, within the window they stated.I will review the product later.
