Thanks for an excellent meal, Katy and Annie.

I gave these guys a review of my cooking class directly and never received a response. I just…read morecalled to receive support for a $1,500 set of pans I purchased that are garbage and was told to reach out to the vendor. So here is your review. Cooking class: Instructor stated qualifications - "I love to cook, cooked w Grandma, did good in my HS cooking class. Read instructions from a paper ( we were told they would send us the recipes and they never did. Generally, if you have cooked any dish successfully or if you can read and follow a recipe, or if you have the internet and you prefer to have another person read the recipe that you can use any money you would spend here for a cooking class on some high quality ingredients at home and you won't have to cook with another couple at the same cooking station because there are 4 or more people per station.... That's right! You pay for a cooking class and you get to "rock, paper, scissors" with the other couple to share the tasks you paid to "learn".... Store: Generally looks nice. It is designed to funnel you from your "cooking class" into the store and sell you stuff after you've had a good experience like a Disney ride gift shop. Turns out it's like the plastic stuff from a Disney ride gift shop. You will eventually throw it away. My problem here is I bought a set of "forever" fancy pans made of stainless steel with a magical "titanium bonded" coating..... some real nice Hestons. However we have now researched and practiced and researched and practiced and cleaned with Heston's cleaner and researched and practiced and cleaned... you get the picture. This is to the tune of hours and hours of effort and hundreds of dollars of food wasted... we have done the mercury water test (I'm good at it now), we have cleaned them multiple times to remove food and cooking spray build up (nobody will say, but you're not supposed to use your cooking spray) use oil instead they say... we've done it. "Don't disturb the food" "stainless likes commitment". The food will "release" itself and then you stir. Yeah.... Nope. So after months of trying and researching, I can tell you these pans aren't good to work with... so I called the store. Turns out they can't help you if you used the pans, even once. They don't care about your problems or product problems. They don't really know anymore than you can find on line. So, my advice is: do the cooking class at home.... Find a YouTube video from a chef you like and buy quality ingredients, stop by the store, even buy the plastic gadgets that you throw away one day here if you want to pay 2x what they cost at Walmart.... Look at the expensive stuff like pans. If you decide you want to buy, take a picture of the brand and buy on line. These guys don't have most of that stuff in stock they just mark it up for you and it delivers to your house. What they won't do is help you. They grab a healthy mark up and run. This place is the reason it is better to shop on line. Amazon at least will give a guarantee that works.

I find their prices to be very reasonable. They are not a HUGE store, but they are not too small, either. They have a lot of great kitchen items. There was a cooking class going on while I was there. The lady that helped me was super friendly and cheerful. So were the other employees. I think they have what it takes to be a successful business. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

* rude * unprofessional…read more * unhelpful We entered the Sandy store, and after standing around for at least 10 minutes, not a single employee, out of about 8-10 employees, even attempted to acknowledge us. We finally caught the eye of an employee who was at her work station eating a donut. We asked her if she could help us, and her reply, "I'm busy. I'll be with you in a minute." Shocked, we asked her, "do you need to finish eating your donut before you can help us?" Her reply, "yes". We were truly stunned. Absolutely and completely unprofessional. She acted as if we had walked into her personal home and made a demand, as opposed to her being at work, to, you know, work. How dare we ask for help! When she finished her donut we asked her if there were any bathroom sinks in stock. Her reply, "I'd have to go and look, but I don't want to go look through everything" Stunned yet again, we gave up and left the store. We have bought many, many costly items from Standard over the years, and always strive to support local businesses, but, after our experience today, we won't be back. * terrible service * no in-stock selections * the value is not there, as their prices are over the top
