Kitchen Supply Store in or around Palermo

Ciao,

My girlfriend and I recently moved to Sicily and we are looking to purchase some items for our kitchen (she is a professional chef). We're living in a small town that doesn't have much to offer for kitchen supplies. We are going to take a trip into Palermo on Saturday and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where to shop for kitchen supplies. Specifically, all we can find in town are non-stick pans, and she would like a regular pan!

Thanks in advance for your help!

I ran into similar problems there too. The non-sticks aren't bad and a lot of restaurants use them too, as the standard pan...weird!

I'm pretty sure that you can find pans at stores that say "alimentari" on the sign...

You know - you could always order online ...

Thanks for the suggestion. We are heading into Palermo on Saturday - I'll give Vincenzo a call tonight!

We also found an area right off of Ballaro that had a plethora of pans. But I'm interested to hear a professional's opinion!

Thanks again, I'll keep you posted on what we find!

most local hardware stores have clay, alluminum and triple bottom stainless pans.. as well as kitchen stores.

yes there is a whole area of town, where the metal stuff is. not in ballaro.

how professional do you need to be???

I have clay pots, alluminium, cast iron, triple bottom stainless steel... depending on what I am cooking, but not full sets of any of them!
