Online Restaurant/Kitchen Supply Source?
I'm sure that this has been covered many times but I just can't find the answer via the search. Apologies if this is an obvious answer.
What is your favorite ONLINE source for residential kitchen equipment? I'm looking for the best (cheapest) source for common items such as half sheet pans, Silpats, Cambros and lids, hotel pans, "six pans", ladles, tongs, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.

surfasonline.com is the web site for my local restaurant supply. If you are in Los Angeles/Culver City, go to the store. Their website does not have everything the store does, but it does have a comprehensive collection of the basic cooking tools, along with spices/oils/candy making and baking supplies.

I tend to use more than one source. You have to know your prices. Ebay is always a resource. Many small restaurant supply places sell on Ebay.
Amazon has many as well. Every now and then you will find a great deal on used half sheets. If you find that a restaurant has unfortunately closed it doors, you more than likely can contact someone and they will sell you what they have. There are great finds you just have to look.

Ditto on Jerzee's Ebay suggestion. Even with shipping I've come across some great kitchen equipment & supply deals on Ebay. It just takes a little patience to sort through the listings till you find something you can't live without.
Just ran across this site recently as well:

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up placing an order with surasonline.com but the others will get use too.

Sorry. My last post should have referenced "www.surfasonline.com". Looks like I can't edit my posts after they are posted but maybe the moderators will update the original and delete this one.
And thanks again for the help, gang. Great source of info and entertainment here :)
