PREP Kitchen Essentials is a retail store and cooking school located in Seal Beach California
where you will find the best kitchenwares and can participate in some of the most exciting
cooking classes in America.
PREP, first and foremost, is 100% committed to 100% customer satisfaction. We are long-term thinkers
and carry products of the highest quality with the highest endurance and performance levels. Whatever
the item, whatever the category, we research all products on the market and select for our store only
those that fit our rigorous standards. We do not sell products that we would not use ourselves. If we
have more than two returns on any single product, we discontinue selling it. We know and stand behind
every product in our store. Some examples:
- We do not carry disposable kitchen utensils. We do not sell plastic vegetable peelers that will
need replacing in six months. We sell high quality, ultra performing stainless steel vegetable
peelers that will last several generations.
- We do not offer "too good to be true"-priced knife sets that start dull and stay duller.
- We do not offer 30 different coffeemakers. We carry only GREAT coffeemakers and there are
not that many great coffeemakers on the market.
- That low-priced 9-piece cookware set at the BigBox store down the street looks like a great
deal. But the coating will start to come off in about a year and will need to be replaced.
And because we care about the health and well being of our customers, we do not sell coated
cookware. The EPA has asked manufacturers to stop making teflon coated cookware by 2011,
PREP stopped selling it in 2008.
PREP retail offers home chefs a comprehensive collection of high quality, high design, top names in
kitchenwares including All-Clad, Bodum, Bosch, Chilewich, Garnier Thiebaut, Rösle, Shun and Staub
among others. In the high-design arena, many names such as Chilewich and Garnier Thiebaut have
premiered in the area at our store and we strive to carry the widest selection of beautiful design
items available.
At PREP Culinary Classes, we believe first and foremost, that as you improve the quality of your food,
you improve the quality of your life. Since the very first class, our goal was to create a comfortable,
practical, and instructive teaching environment where participants can learn to become more confident
and capable in the kitchen. PREP Culinary Classes are hands-on and 100% participatory. Of course,
cooking programs are only as good as their instructors and curricula, and our incomparable professional
chefs provide dynamic, modern, one-on-one instruction covering a wide range of subject from basics to
baking to entertaining to cultural cuisines.
At PREP, we are committed to continually providing our customers with the finest culinary and learning
experiences possible. We look forward to seeing you for the myriad of adventures we know are in store.
