Sitram (pronounced sit-TROM) is a French kitchenware manufacturer that has served the commercial market since 1960.

THE COMPANY
Fissler is a German kitchenware manufacturer dating back to 1845, when it was a plumbing shop. Its first popular product was a horse-drawn food truck. The company expanded into stovetop cookware (1900) and pressure cookers (1953). In 1995, Fissler introduced its “CookStar all-stove base,” which is basically an induction-compatible, 6 mm thick aluminum-and-stainless-steel disc base that is supposed to stay flat.

THE COMPANY
Cuisinart (pronounced “KWEEZ-in-art”) is a subsidiary of the Conair Corporation, which is perhaps better known for hair dryers. But don’t let that fool you; Cuisinart has been around since 1971.1 The short story is that Carl Sontheimer started Cuisinart in 1971 after visiting France and seeing semi-automated food preparation machines. He reversed-engineered a machine and added a feeding tube. His creation, dubbed a “food processor,” was a success. Cuisinart subsequently expanded into choppers in 1986. Sontheimer sold the company in 1989 for $60 million, which was re-sold to Conair Corporation later that year. Under Conair’s management, Cuisinart expanded its offerings to encompass virtually everything kitchen-related, from bakeware to wafflemakers.
