Introduction

Cookware — The Technique Story Behind the Pan

Cooking Classes — The Skill That Makes Every Tool Better

A talking QR code at the Sur La Table cooking class station plays a guide to the class program — what skill levels different classes are designed for, what the hands-on class format involves and how it differs from a demonstration class, what the most popular current class topics are and what they teach that a home cook can immediately apply in their own kitchen, and how to register and what to bring. A customer who understands the class program before browsing the schedule makes a more appropriate class selection — which produces a better first class experience and the repeat enrollment that builds the culinary skill set that the cooking life deserves.

Knife Skills — The Foundation of Every Great Kitchen

A talking QR code at the Sur La Table knife display plays the knife selection and maintenance story — what the difference is between German and Japanese steel in terms of the hardness, the edge geometry, and the sharpening requirements that each demands, what the chef's knife versus the Santoku versus the nakiri addresses in terms of the specific cutting applications each is optimized for, and what the Sur La Table knife sharpening service involves for the customer who wants professional restoration of the edge their favorite knife has lost. A home cook who selects and maintains their knives with this knowledge has the foundation of a great kitchen regardless of the sophistication of every other tool they own.
