Cast Iron Your grandmother probably had a cast iron skillet! Cast Iron cookware is heavy and relatively slow to heat, but consistent thickness of base and sides ensures the heat distribution is even and energy efficient. Most Cast Iron products are suitable for oven, stove top and grill. They are also durable and have excellent heat retention properties. Enamel Cast Iron cookware comes in a range of vibrant colours, to brighten your kitchen.
Stainless Steel What makes Stainless Steel stain less? Chemistry! The metal alloy forms it’s own invisible protective film, helping it to resist stains and rust. It is also incredibly strong and a good heat conductor. Stainless Steel cookware often includes an aluminium or copper core to provide optimum heat control.
Non-Stick Non-stick cookware is designed for cooking without food sticking to the surface. This means cleaning is a breeze and less or no oil is required for cooking, making it ideal for healthy lifestyles. Other general features include fast and even heat distribution and long lasting durability.
Cookware Features Other features to look out for include: comfort and stay cool handles, heat indicators, flared rims for easy pouring and multiple heat source compatibility.
