Like caring for chickens, cooking without proper equipment requires imaginative problem solving to avoid winding up with uncooked eggs. Equip yourself for properly prepared omelets with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of kitchenware at Cataplana Kitchen Store in Castroville.

Run by a personal chef, Cataplana lavishes customers with high-end kitchenware and appliances from brands including Viking, Emile Henry, and Rösle, as well as specialty foods and beverages from the store's adjoining coffee and smoothie bar. Shoppers can clasp fists around standard coffee mugs ($14.99) or double-wall thermal mugs ($9.99), which contain up to 32 ounces of liquid and preserve the temperature of hot beverages, cold drinks, and tepid reactions to latest screenplays. Customers can also use this Groupon for items from Cataplana's coffee and smoothie bar, where guests can sip on beverages while taking advantage of free WiFi to email baristas for more half and half.
