I was very happy to discover the excellent-quality, commercial-grade kitchen products that are available at Termalimex in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

They sell products from Robot Coupe, Waring, Hobart, All-American, Tramontia, KitchenAid, Nuova Simonelli, Centerline, Electrolux, Victorinox, Ozti, Carlisle, Browne, etc.

I’m not a big fan of buying cheap plastic kitchen things that you know will break 1-10 years. In Ecuador it’s almost impossible to find durable plastic food storage containers. I was elated to find that Termalimex has normal commercial-quality, graduated round plastic food storage containers made by Carlisle (for ~$10-$40 each).

Summary of what I found:

• Food Storage Containers ($10-$40 each)
• Tramonita and Victorinox Knives ($10-$80)
• Magnetic Knife Holders ($15-$30)
• Various KitchenAid Mixers (up to $1,000)
• Centerline Stand Mixer ($4,091)
• Waring Blender ($2,614)
• Robot Coupe Immersion Blenders
• Robot Coupe Chopper ($2,000-$4,000)
• Waring Belgin Wafflemaker ($661)
• Electrolux Refrigerator ($1,076)
• Ozti Single Basket Door-type High-temp Dishwasher ($4,421)
• Nuova Simonelli Espresso Machines ($4,000-$6,000)
• Pre-rinse faucet hose sprayers ($400-$600)
• All-American Pressure Canners ($500-$800)
• A 2.5 gallon salad spinner ($125)
• Wide selection of large cutting boards
• Alegacy and Tramontia Stainless-Steel Pots
• Large cutting boards
• Various parts to repair above-listed equipment

Unfortunately, I didn’t find a wok. But they did have a good selection of large, heavy stainless-steel pots made by Alegacy and Tramonita.

The customer attention was OK. I asked if they had any low-temp single-basket door-type dishwashers. They didn’t, but the employee took my contact details and said he’d get in-touch with how they could import one. But I never heard back…
