SEATTLE–Amazon.com has launched its newest collection, Tom Douglas by Pinzon, an exclusive collection of kitchen utensils and tools, cutlery, cookware, grilling tools and wine accessories designed by Douglas, a Seattle chef, restaurateur and author.
Describing the collection as “urban-Asian,” Amazon said in a release that the collection reflects the Asian influence in Douglas’ cooking style and techniques, and include a carbon-steel wok, bamboo stir tongs, a wok strainer and a bamboo steamer. The line also has signature pieces from such brands as Nachtmann by Riedel, Microplane, Lodge, Epicurean, Kai, Wenger and Dexter-Russell.
“By working with Amazon to design great cooking tools, and introducing at-home chefs to some of the techniques I use personally, I hope to inspire confidence in the kitchen,” said Douglas, who also contributes to Amazon’s Al Dente blog. “I spent two years hand-selecting and testing everything in my own kitchen, and I am excited to share these new products with Amazon customers.”
