Like to see what you’re cooking in your pots?

Get a pot with a glass lid and watch all the flavours come to life without having to take the lid off and lose any heat. We have pots and sauté pans with glass lids so you’re in charge of the cooking and keeping an eye on things. Using the lid brings the contents of the pot to a boil faster, so you save time, use less energy and save a bit of money while cooking up a storm. Watching food simmer is better than any TV.

Pots and pans for some serious cooking

Find all the pots you need for whatever you’re cooking, no matter how big your family or how many friends.

Looking for pots that are easy to clean and simple to use?

A modern life can mean you’re short on time, so you want pots that don’t take long to clean. We have non-stick pots so all your noodle soup and veggie chilli will end up in your dish instead of stuck to the pot. They’re hardwearing, the sol-gel ceramic non-stick coating reduces the risk of food burning or getting stuck. Easy to clean means easy to love.

Interested in pots for slow cooking?

What’s a kitchen without an old-school casserole on the stove? Take your time and get the most flavour out of your cooking. We have lots of pots that work as hard as you do and look just as great doing it. The enamelled cast iron pots are great for slow cooking and retain the heat longer, making them ideal for slow cooking roasts and casseroles. And they keep the food warm on the table too.
