We mostly write about restaurants and food, but we’re sure all foodies will appreciate this gem in the heart of De Pijp, near the Albert Cuyp Market.
Duikelman is somewhat of a kitchen supply institution in Amsterdam, sporting an enormous collection of anything a chef would need in a charmingly packed store.
Duikelman has an amazing selection of kitchen supplies. In the main store, you will find anything from pots and pans, knives, books, food processors, espresso makers, ovenware, cutting boards to anything else required for your next cooking adventure. In each category, Duikelman has a great range of options from simple to professional, along with knowledgeable staff to help you make a choice. In a more recently opened second store across the street, Duikelman also has a great range of kitchen appliances with a focus on fancy professional equipment.
It’s quite amazing how much supply they manage to stock in their rather small store. You will understand how they do it as soon as you enter. The aisles are narrow and the shelves filled with supplies from floor to ceiling. The shop kind of meanders on, occupying additional space in the neighboring buildings and continuing much further towards the back than you would imagine.
It might take some patience and high tolerance for crowds, but Duikelman Amsterdam certainly is great fun to explore!

It is a great shop with staff that know lots about what they sell. I’ve just bought quite a few things professionally because price wise there is so litlle difference between a wholesale and Duikelman, and the service is so much better. You can also shop around there and order it via a website but here you have and the service and the guarantee and if we all only buy at webshops soon we will not have interesting real shops anymore and that will kill the city!!
Years ago I got as a present a pistol for caramelizations (crème brûlée effect, dark golden crusts on roasts, etc.) a friend had found there. This is THE address for professional stuff. Also great trendy kitchen/tea towels, with a print of lots of insects, for example.
Didn’t know the pros went to Duikelman, too. Good to know!
And I definitely remember buying one of those mini flamethrowers for crème brûlée, too. So much fun!

Hi Miss D.Grub!
May be you have already blogged about it, but there’s also this cook book shop. I plan to go there this month and will let you know about it.
BTW – I’ve finally made a blogroll and included you in it. sorry for delayed response.

Hello, do you sell a stroopwafel knappertjes iron/pan for stovetop?
Hi Tania,
I am pretty sure they do, but this is not the site of the store, so I suggest you contact them directly. See above for details.
