Kinto’s Ceramic Lab range balances orderly, neat design with the warm patterns of sandstone native to the Nagasaki prefecture of Japan, where it is manufactured. Many transformations occur in this unique porcelain, which is ultra-sensitive to temperature and humidity when firing. This results in a speckled, ‘scorched’-looking pattern called ‘yo-hen’. The natural unevenness of this…
Made with high-quality stainless steel, this roaster is a gorgeous way to serve individual portions or sharable sides. While M’Cook pans are dishwasher-safe, please note that dishwasher detergents that contain harsh chemicals such as potassium are abrasive to the aluminium edge on the rims of these pans. This can cause the edge to feel sharp…
Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steeply tapered blade, which makes it much sharper than a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and…
ETI (Electronic Temperature Instruments) is the UK’s leading manufacturer of thermometers, and their products are trusted in commercial kitchens with rigid food safety standards. Temperature is especially important for jam and confection making, as it is a foolproof way of determining whether the texture of your final product will set, stretch, or be manoeuvrable for…
A small copper saucepan (a scant 2″), this piece from Mauviel’s M’Minis range can be used to decorate a table, or as a dish to serve an individual portion of sauce. We especially like it for pouring rum over pudding (the lip helps with that) before lighting it up for a flambe.
Though Jars Ceramistes is a family-run company that’s been around since 1857, their tableware is perfectly suited to contemporary needs. Their ceramics are very hard-wearing, able to resist cracks, fading, and the stress of dishwashers and microwaves. This is a result of an energy-saving manufacturing process that fires only once at 1285’C rather than the…
Located in a small workshop under an archway in South London, Blenheim Forge is a jewel in Britain’s culinary landscape, beloved by chefs like Gordon Ramsey and Francis Mallmann. We collaborated on a collection of knives made with a core Japanese super blue carbon steel’known for its long-lasting durability and unparalleled sharpness’clad with rust-proof stainless…
Mauviel’s M’Steel collection is crafted from 100% durable carbon steel. Carbon steel is lighter than cast iron for manoeuvrability. It heats quickly, making it an excellent material for searing, browning, stir-frying and grilling, but unsuitable for slow simmering. Pans in this collection work on all heat sources, including induction, and the oven. This M’Steel Paella…
Staub is a household name in France and around the world for their black enamelled cookware, which has all the benefits of cast iron’namely the ability to absorb and retain intense heat, resulting in gorgeously browned food’but there is no special clean-up required. The enamelled finish prevents the pan from rusting and, thanks to its…
There is a good reason so many chefs idolise copper: It conducts heat impeccably. In chef-speak, that means quickly and evenly, responding to changes in temperature in an instant. But because copper does not naturally attach to magnetic induction hobs, it takes a bit of expert engineering to make induction-friendly copper work’and Mauviel, with their…
Lodge, America’s oldest cast iron manufacturer, is recognised around the world for its reliable, virtually indestructible cast iron skillets. Cast iron is prized for its ability to get extremely hot and retain that heat, resulting in gorgeously browned foods, whether that’s seared steak or reputation-saving Brussels sprouts. It can go on all hobs including induction,…
Due to Netherton Foundry’s unique manufacturing process, this durable spun baking tin is relatively lightweight, but also, like traditional cast iron cookware, it retains heat exceptionally well. This means faster cooking times, consistently even cooking, and browned crusts. It can also safely go on the hob, including induction, and is designed for cakes, tarts, pies,…
