"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," Douglas said. "I spent two years hand-selecting and testing everything in my own kitchen, and I'm excited to share these new products with Amazon customers."
Douglas' belief in simplicity motivated the line of multifunctional and essential tools that met his core criteria. Products that carry the Tom Douglas by Pinzon name are dishwasher-safe, multifunctional, durable, of exceptional quality and offer great performance. The collection is approachable, easy to use and care for.
The collection can be described as "urban-Asian." Taking advantage of his urban surroundings, Douglas cooks with local ingredients and lots of fresh seafood. With an Asian influence in his cooking style and techniques, many of the key items in the Tom Douglas by Pinzon collection have Asian origins, such as the carbon-steel wok, bamboo stir tongs, wok strainer and bamboo steamer.
"Tom Douglas is passionate, approachable and credible," says Kerry Morris, senior brand manager for Pinzon. "He never tires and is full of fresh ideas. Amazon chose to work with Tom because he parallels Amazon.com and Pinzon's vision of offering customers unprecedented quality and value."
