Choosing the right cookware is all about feel: the way a knife fits in your hand, the heft of a sauté pan, the angle of a peeler. Which is why a visit to Eurostoves’ Beverly showroom and its adjacent test kitchen is worth the trek. There you can try out the goods—from Shun knives to Capresso ­coffeemakers—or take them for an in-depth test drive during one of the many cooking classes offered.
