Paderno
Paderno cookware has been made in Stratford, Prince Edward Island since 1979. Their stainless steel pots and pans are used in professional kitchens across Canada and are a genuine Made-in-Canada alternative to All-Clad and Calphalon.
Why Switch?
All-Clad is made in Pennsylvania (their entry-level lines are made overseas), Calphalon is owned by Newell Brands (an Ohio company), and T-fal is owned by SEB Group, a French multinational. Paderno is one of the last cookware manufacturers in North America that actually makes their pots and pans domestically — in Stratford, Prince Edward Island. Their stainless steel cookware is used by professional chefs in Canadian kitchens and is built to last for generations. When you buy Paderno, you're buying Made-in-Canada quality that no American brand at the same price point can match.
Home cooks and professional chefs who want genuinely Made-in-Canada stainless steel cookware built to commercial kitchen standards.
