Big Chill: Retro Yet Very Modern Kitchen Appliances
:: Modern classics :: Stamped steel :: Clean powder coating :: 100s of colors ::
We were very excited when we discovered Big Chill, an up-and-coming designer and manufacturer of super-hip kitchen appliances that come in many colors and hundreds of “custom” color options. They construct their exteriors with solid, stamped steel, and then they coat it with a gorgeous eco-friendly powder-coating. Although these appliances are not exactly main-stream, they are on to something with their modern-yet-retro line of kitchen appliances. They may look retro, but they are anything but old-fashioned.
Let’s begin with their lineup of refrigerators… four fridges at different sizes from under-counter, to studio size, to full-size. The interiors are made by larger American manufacturing companies, and the exterior paneling is painted and assembled in Boulder, CO. Stoves and hoods are made in Reading, PA, and the parts and assembly of the dishwashers are made in USA too. Microwaves are no exception and come in a wide range of colors. The microwave’s electronic components are imported, but the exterior, paneling and painting are American.
Painting process is not cheap, but you can rest assured that the industrial processes are environmentally sound and do not leak any harmful vapors into your living space after curing. We would say that considering what they are offering, prices are pretty reasonable.
Check out their website to see great detail photos, read their story, and see great examples of their products in actual kitchens. Do up your kitchen in style… if stainless steel ‘aint your thing, this could be a great option!

USA Pans: Steel Bakeware with Silicone Nonstick Coating
:: 5-Star product :: Safe non-stick :: Reasonable prices :: Great variety ::
As a safe alternative to other non-stick options, USA Pans are made with “Americoat”, a proprietary natural silicone coating on their heavy gauge aluminized steel surface – with rave reviews about easy release! These are commercial grade, yet offered at very reasonable prices, and do not contain PFTEs or PFOAs. Made in USA – buy once, you’re set for life!
Admittedly, I was very excited as I was preparing our graphic for USA Pans (LOL)… this is because their photography is so high-resolution, capturing every little surface detail! Each piece is a work of art, and you can see how their surface design is tricked out for each baking use. The subtle corrugation adds rigidity as well as air circulation, and rolled edges create a solid framing. Their stamped-in logo is a nice touch. Who wouldn’t want “USA Pan” stamped into their baked goods!?
Pans include muffin, cupcake, donut, tart, cakelet, fluted cupcake, Italian loaf, French baguette, cookie sheets, cake pans, meatloaf, loaf, mini cake/ muffin/ round cake pans, pie, biscotti, brownie bite, mini loaf, hot dog bun, pizza pans (thin, wide rim and deep dish), springform, and we are very happy to see the Pullman loaf pan & sliding cover set.
