Kuhn Rikon is the #1 Swiss brand of cookware and cooks’ tools, marrying Swiss design and American ingenuity to make cooking seriously fun. Kuhn Rikon (koon REE-kon) has been making culinary history for more than 80 years. Headquartered in the Swiss village of Rikon in the beautiful Toss River Valley near Zurich, the company has been owned and run by the Kuhn family for three generations. Kuhn Rikon’s headquarters includes a high-tech factory, cooking museum, herb garden and culinary center, where international chefs and home cooks help test and refine new products.

Kuhn Rikon USA was founded in 1988 to bring Euro-style cooking to the United States. Rudy Keller, President of Kuhn Rikon USA, was an export manager in the company’s headquarters in Rikon before he moved to the United States with his U.S. bride, settling in Northern California, the epicenter of the American food renaissance. After an initial period of cultural adjustment, Rudy began adapting Swiss traditions to his new American life, and a whole new world of exciting products was born.

For more than 20 years, Kuhn Rikon USA has been reinventing the American kitchen with products that make cooking easier, safer and more enjoyable.

They believe “fun” is part of functional.  Their products not only get the job done brilliantly, they’re also fun to use. They’re passionate about designing products that make it possible for everyone – even “non-cooks” – to prepare healthy and delicious meals fast and easily.   Truth be told, Peachy is kind of a "non-cook" but she was inspired by her recent excursion to the French Culinary Institute.  Above all, Kuhn Rikon build quality products that last. They work to make the world a better place, both through socially responsible business practices and by encouraging the age-old tradition of gathering around a table for a delicious home-cooked meal.
