Whether you’re a chef or not, the kitchen is one of the main showpieces of a modern home. When you purchase a good cookware set, it lasts a lifetime, so it’s definitely worth the investment. There are a few things to consider when buying kitchenware, including utility, design, storage solutions, and ensuring that it’s safe, non-toxic and easy to use. However, finding the right tools and cookware can be a long and daunting task – so we’ve sped things up a little for you with our list. Without further ado, here are some of the best, luxury kitchenware products and brands that every home needs.
Chic cooking ware from Circulon’s Style Collection
Circulon by Meyer are pioneers in non-stick cookware and have been engineering gourmet kitchenware since 1985 (deemed as the original hard-anodised non-stick cookware brand). Taking pan design to another level, the world-renowned label has announced the launch of its Style Collection which brings sophistication and functionality to your kitchen. The products are designed to ensure that food doesn’t stick and with the unique circular technology and hi-low circular grooves, the non-stick surface reduces abrasion—even with no oil.
Marked with a signature “S” shape on the handles, the pans are crafted from heavy gauge hard anodised materials (twice as hard as stainless steel) to ensure durability for your cooking ware. The collection features a 25/28cm skillet, 30cm covered stir fry pan, 20/24/27cm sauteuse pans, a 26cm deep chef casserole and 16/18/20cm three piece saucepan set. We love the Circulon Style 25cm Open Skillet and the Circulon Style 20cm/4QT Saucepan (with lid) for versatility and easy, breezy cooking.
