It all started when a spirited Phoenix mom and owner of a cozy kitchen store, Christa, decided to go on to new adventures and passed her proverbial spatula to Amy Powers and her two daughters, Brittney and Emma Valentine. Knowing they had the opportunity to give Christa’s legacy a digital makeover, the dynamic trio converted Kitchen Switchen into a bustling online hub for those looking to sell or buy cookware, create their own community –encouraging people to learn how to make the most of their culinary journey, no matter what resources they have. From Le Creuset to Our Place, Kitchen Switchen’s online marketplace offers a variety of pre-owned cooking and baking brands. Additionally, shoppers will have the choice to buy new items from major name brands.
“In today’s technological age, there are numerous ways to obtain food, but many of these options divert people from their kitchens and the joy of creating nutritious, memorable meals,” said Amy Powers, Kitchen Switchen CEO. “At Kitchen Switchen, our mission is to inspire a return to home cooking by providing the right tools. Instead of settling for cookware containing non-degradable chemicals that harm the environment and health, users can explore our extensive collection of high-quality, eco-friendly kitchenware.”
The backbone of Kitchen Switchen is its reseller marketplace, where cooking enthusiasts can join for free, sell their kitchenware and expertise for a low commission, and have access to a live customer service team during business hours. Resellers can list:
• Cookware
• Bakeware
• Coffee & Tea Products

One of Kitchen Switchen’s primary goals is sustainability. Annually, more than 100 million pots and pans are discarded globally, many composed of materials that accumulate in landfills, that contaminate soil and water sources, with visible impact here and around the world. The platform’s goal is to give gently used kitchenware a second life so that it doesn’t end up in a landfill. The site’s products prioritize sustainable, recycled and non-toxic materials. The goal is to reduce the planet’s carbon footprint and shift how people consume and dispose of kitchen equipment.
“At Kitchen Switchen, we are pioneering a new era of kitchenware responsibly exchanged reselling, focusing on sustainability, eco-friendliness, and healthy lifestyles,” said Brittney Valentine. “Our marketplace is dedicated to fostering a fully conscious culinary community that values both the planet and personal well-being, one pot and pan at a time.”
Kitchen Switchen’s blog is full of a plethora of resources including exciting recipe ideas, reseller tips, and information about nontoxic cooking. Its ‘Kitchen Kids’ section allows parents to buy and sell items like back-to-school lunch boxes, storage containers, thermoses and soon will offer resources, such as classes, to help children get excited about learning in the kitchen. Upcoming launches on the platform include an online “pharmacy” with medicinal herbs, household cleaners, and nutraceuticals.
