Cooking, much like the art of firebreathing, leads to satisfied taste buds and angry hair follicles. Equip your culinary prowess with today's groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of cooking supplies, utensils and appliances at the Cookin' Stuff store in Torrance.

Named South Bay's Best Cooking Store by the Torrance Daily Breeze three years in a row, Cookin' Stuff furnishes cooks with more than 20,000 everyday and hard-to-find cooking and bake ware items. Meal makers will enjoy sifting through the 11,000-square foot store filled with stainless steel mixing bowls, cookware, strainers and a number of gadgets under $30. Top product brands like Cuisinart, KitchenAid, Nordic Ware and Curious Chef grace the shelves of Cookin' Stuff and gossip about a mutual friend's bland tasting casserole. Chefs searching for tools ranging in the obscure can find solace in a store equipped with items like professional marinade injectors ($6.95) and asparagus tongs ($4.95)

Picnic and barbeque items are also available for those who create culinary genius outside of the kitchen-- or those who buy things for people who do. Sales associates are knowledgeable in cooking and store products and can offer help with recipes or honestly divulge if a certain oven mitt makes your arm look fat.
