We have bring up the Top 5 Essential Cookware that could help you become the “Chosen-one” in your kitchen.

1. Detachable Handle Fry Pan

For most family, it’s better to use kitchen space smartly. The detachable handle series, Infito, makes so much sense for a home chef! It’s always stackable and space saving. Not to mention that it would be perfect to directly put into oven when the handle is removed.

 

2. Cast Iron Casserole

You could always find one or two pieces of cookware that they passionately possess and don’t let anyone else touch, let alone use. Usually cast iron casserole is one of them. That’s because cast iron pots has so much benefits:

Once cast iron is hot, it stays hot. So cast iron pans are great for searing meat. Cast iron is great for keeping food warm since it holds heat for a considerable length of time. Every time you cook in your cast iron pans you are making them better by seasoning them. During the cooking process a small amount of iron is absorbed into the foods. 

Try our multi-use casserole Le Pluriel, its lid can also be used as a grill pan. Smart, isn’t it?

 

3. Pressure cooker

The science behind pressure cooking: the high pressure inside the pot raises the boiling point of water, so food can cook about 40°F hotter than than you can on a stove top. Because the food cooks hotter, it also cooks faster.

An Instant Pot pressure cooker makes your favorite meals in a fraction of the time they take on the stove, oven, or in a slow cooker.

Make perfectly tender meats, vegetable-packed stews and soups, beans, savory stocks and broths, and much more. Enjoy the intense flavors of long-simmered dishes in minutes, with no pot-watching necessary.

 

4. Sauce Pan

A saucepan excels at cooking anything that's mostly liquid. This means it's great for stewing, simmering, making soups and, unsurprisingly, making sauces like pasta sauce.  Because they usually fall in the 2-3 quart range, they're not ideal for making stocks or large quantities of things like soup or stew: That's what the larger stockpot is best for. However, for making smaller quantities, a saucepan is the perfect tool.

A very important task often designated to saucepans is boiling water for a small serving of pasta. It's also a good choice for things like mashed potatoes, risotto, lentils, or any other grain that requires boiling.

5. Honeycomb Non-stick Cookware

There are several reasons why you should choose our honeycomb non-stick pan if you are a home chef. Firstly, they are extremely durable. Unlike regular non-stick coated pans, you do not have to worry about using a wooden spatula in these frypans. You can easily use regular metal spoons or spatulas without worrying about the coating coming off. Secondly, although they need to be seasoned, over time they perform just as beautifully as a non-stick frypan with the added advantage of a longer life. And the third reason why home chefs should own a Honeycomb Fry Pan is because it is made in triply stainless steel. Triply ensures that your food is cooked faster and uses 20% lesser oil than your other cookware.
