From the owner: Es ist eine fast vergessene Kunst. Emaille-Geschirr und anderes Zubehör aus Emaille wird heutzutage…read morekaum noch hergestellt. Doch langsam, aber sicher erfreut sich die sehr aufwendig herzustellende Beschichtung wieder größerer Beliebtheit. Das hat mehrere Gründe: Die robusten Beschichtungen sind sowohl in nostalgischen Mustern als auch in modernen Designs erhältlich und halten viel aus. Zudem ist emailliertes Geschirr leicht zu reinigen und sehr hygienisch, da bei der Herstellung keine chemischen Stoffe verwendet werden, die sich auf die Speisen übertragen könnten. Nach dem Brennvorgang bei 800°C ist die Beschichtung eingebrannt und kann direkt verwendet werden. Emaille-Geschirr führen wir in unserem Shop hauptsächlich von der Firma Riess Email, die bereits seit Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts Emaille-Töpfe, -Pfannen und andere Produkte herstellt.

The service of this shop... dear lord. It´s the WORST!…read more A while back I caught myself drooling over their shop for quite some time, so when I got a coupon for my birthday I was over the moon! However it took me a while to actually get to the shop to use it. When I finally got in the shop and grabbed everything I wanted to buy with my coupon, they said the coupon code was invalid.. even though no-one ever used it before and the coupon was still sealed in the enveloppe when I handed it over. (And all the data was also correct: my name was on it, the date of purchase, a coupon code and a signature) There was no service or whatsoever regarding this problem, the girl in the shop simply said that I should call the hotline to get this problem fixed. So, the same day I called them.. apparently no one was there to answer my call.. Better yet: the next 2 weeks I tried calling them for almost every day and I never got someone to answer my call, actually the automatic lady on the phone said: "nobody is available to answer your call, please send an e-mail or leave a message afther the beep." I´ve sent multiple e-mails and guess what: still haven´t got an answer! This is truely the worst service imaginable. Their shop looks so gorgeous and sophisticated, so does the food and accessoires in their shop by the way. But purely by their lack of service I now refuse to spend a dime at Kochhaus. Too bad though, because if they would have given me the proper service, I would probably be a returning customer and brand ambassador. Their loss.

I love the idea of this Berlin grocery store. It's way different than a typical store. Basically…read morethere are stations with different meal ideas displayed. You walk around and look at the day's offerings and pick what you'd like to make. Then you can grab the recipe and everything you need right at the station. The store is very clean and pretty. The meals are affordable. The idea is perfect for somebody who is new to cooking because they make it so simple! My boyfriend and I got a vegetarian pasta with sun dried tomatoes and spinach. The recipe was very easy to follow and the ingredients were fresh. However we thought the finished product was too salty. Still I'd love to see something like this store in America!
