Canadian-made kitchen tools: cutting boards and pans

If you're replacing a cutting board or a frying pan, these makers say they produce in Canada. Here's what each one claims, in their own words.

End-grain cutting boards

End-grain boards are easier on knife edges than edge-grain boards. Larch Wood says its boards are handmade on Cape Breton Island.

Pans

Carbon steel needs seasoning but lasts for decades. Willow Creek Forge hand-forges pans in Nanton, Alberta. For stock pots and sauté pans, Crown Cookware describes itself as a Canadian family-owned manufacturer and labels those lines Made in Canada.
