Our mission
Banish disposable cookware from every kitchen.
About BARE Cookware
We make kitchen classics for life
We met at school and became engineers who can't leave a product alone. So we made our own chef's knife. It took off on Kickstarter, and seven campaigns later it's BARE Cookware.
Most cookware is either traditional and heavy, or modern and disposable. We make a third kind: classics redesigned for today's kitchen, without chemical coatings.
