We Help Home Cooks Cook Like Chefs.
Founded in 2024, Kitchenware Authority was born out of frustration. Our founder, Chef Marcus Thorne, noticed that most "best of" lists for kitchen gear were compiled by writers who had never used the products in a high-pressure environment.
We believe that your tools should never be the bottleneck to your creativity. Whether you're a weekend hobbyist or an aspiring pro, the right equipment allows you to focus on the technique, not the struggle.
Our Mission
To provide the most rigorous, scientifically sounds, and chef-tested appliance and cookware reviews on the internet. We aim to be the definitive resource for anyone who takes their cooking seriously.
Chef Verified
Hands-on tested by professional chefs
Our Selection Process
We don't review everything. We only review "A-tier" equipment. If it's on Kitchenware Authority, it has already passed our initial quality screening. We don't waste your time with junkâwe only find the absolute best in each price category.
