LOS ANGELES, July 27 — Fans of US master chef Thomas Keller as well as enthusiastic home cooks may be interested to learn that the triple Michelin-starred chef has collaborated with All-Clad to launch a new line of cookware.
Like Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson and heaps of other food celebrities before him, Keller is the latest chef to parlay his fame into a cookware collection.
The All-Clad TK Collection was designed with the home cook in mind and comes with Keller’s stamp of approval. Sets come in 11, 7 and 4-piece collections. Different pots and pans come in different metal combinations for specific tasks, be it browning, frying or quick heat transfer.
To accommodate urban dwellers, the collection comes with universal lids that are stackable, while the pots and pans have been designed with flared rims for easy pouring.
The collections include a rondeau, ideal for braising, roasting and deep-frying; a stockpot for boiling, canning and blanching; a copper core sauteuse for searing and pan-roasting; and a saucier for poaching, reheating and stirring up sauces.
As to be expected of a fine dining chef, however, prices don’t come cheap: The four-piece set starts at US$930 (RM2,950) and rises to US$2,310 for the full collection at Williams-Sonoma. — AFP-Relaxnews
