Vita Craft Cookware Industry Sale October 26th and 27th! 40% off savings!

Do you ever get tired of looking at something when out shopping and then read “Made in China” on it?
I know I sure am! That is why I am excited to tell you about Vita Craft Cookware.

Made Right here in Shawnee, KS, Vita Craft has been around since 1939 and in the Shawnee location since 1946. This exceptional cookware is shipped worldwide and used my many local, regional, international and celebrity chefs.

Starting in January of 2013 Vita Craft will have a new line of Riveted cookware geared towards retail. New orders are being taken now. This cookware will have a lifetime warranty, cast stainless steel rivedted handles, five ply induction 18/10 clad metal, easy pour spout and mirror finish on the outside of the cooking surface.

I had the chance to tour the Vita Craft warehouse and had a great time. I was amazed and the amount of care that goes into the handmade cookware and it was delight to meet the people firsthand.

I was given a pan to take home and love that I have met the person that made it. I also got to do some shopping next door at the Vita Craft Factory Outlet where I picked up a great Wok.

I have made some really yummy stir fries and am impressed with this cookware. It heats evenly and everything comes out perfect, it is a cinch to clean up and it is NOT “Made in China.”

This October 26th and 27th catch the Industry Factory Direct Sale for 40% off savings!  At the Vita Craft Factory Outlet  5726 Nieman Road  Shawnee, KS 66203 (913) 631-6265 x1199
