It only makes sense that STEEL was born in and has strived in this design mecca, using generations craftsmanship passed down to create the most beautiful cookers in today’s market.  

This is the first cooker made by Angelo Po.

At the time it was produced, back in 1922, having a range cooker in your home kitchen was a new luxury. It was more common that a cooker such as this was used in restaurant or guest house. The pride that Angelo took in his creation can be seen in the detail. He saw the opportunity not just to supply to the restaurant market, of which the Angelo Po brand became synonymous, but also for the select few home kitchens. It wasn’t till generations later in 2001, that Angelo’s heirs created the company STEEL to specifically design and create for the domestic market. This commercial heritage is reflected in the quality, the fitting and longevity of the STEEL range of cookers.
