11-piece cookware set with grill pan and 3 pots

One set that lays down the kitchen basics at once

In most kitchens the cookware collects over the years: a pot from here, a pan from there, each heating differently, and no lid fitting any other vessel. This combination puts the whole lot down at once: five cooking vessels, four lids and two silicone trivets, with one design language and one coating.

What the eleven pieces are

A 24 cm, 1.7 litre smooth frying pan for everyday cooking. A 28 cm, 2.1 litre grill pan, which has a lid of its own. And three pots: 20 cm with 2.5 litres, 24 cm with 4.1 litres, 28 cm with 6.1 litres, each with a strainer lid.

The 6.1-litre pot carries the weekend: a whole goulash or around eight portions of pasta fit in it. The 4.1-litre one is the size of the family soup, and the 2.5-litre one handles the side dish and the sauce.

The grill pan that got a lid

The grill pan is square with a ridged surface from edge to edge, and it is the only piece in the set that can give meat its stripes. Its lid is the interesting part: after searing there is nothing to transfer, the lid goes on the pan and the meat stays where it was cooked.

The lids you can drain with

The lids of the three pots double as strainers. They are made of tempered glass with a slow-closing, heat-resistant silicone system and a steam vent; their rims are toothed and the side of the pot forms a spout. EFFORTLESS DRAINING rests on this: the cooking water runs out under the lid while the pasta stays in the pot.

Through the glass you see what is happening inside, so the lid does not have to come off just to check whether the water is boiling. The steam hole lets the excess out before the lid starts lifting on the rim.

Five vessels that read as one series

A matt finish and undecorated shapes. Side by side on the hob the five vessels look ordered: the same handle shape, the same lid knob, and the same raised brand mark running along the side of each.

TitanPro coating on every cooking surface

The set is made from forged aluminium, with the brand's hard-wearing titanPro non-stick coating on the cooking surfaces. In the pots that counts with rice and thick dishes, on the grill pan along the tops of the ridges, and in the smooth pan when you turn the meat.

A turbo induction base for five hob types

The vessels are built on a turbo induction base and work on all five hob types: gas, electric, ceramic, induction and halogen.

Handles for when several vessels are on the hob

The handles, the side grips and the lid knobs are ergonomic, soft to the touch and stay cool. With three vessels cooking at once that is not a matter of comfort: a firm hold is what lets you move a full pot off the ring without hesitating.

Cleaning five vessels and four lids

One thing to keep in mind: never clean the non-stick coating with a scouring pad or a sharp tool. That leaves warm water and a soft sponge, and it is worth wiping the silicone rim of the four lids separately.

What it is made of, and what it is free from

The vessels are made of forged aluminium with a hard-wearing titanPro non-stick coating, the lids of tempered glass with a slow-closing, heat-resistant silicone system.

Straining lid

A tempered glass lid whose rim carries straining slots, matched to a pot with a pouring lip. Three of the set's four lids are this kind; the grill pan's lid is plain, because there it holds the heat in rather than letting water out.

Everyday scenes

At Sunday lunch all three pots are working: soup in the large one, the side dish in the middle one, sauce in the small one. The meat finishes on the grill pan, and the two silicone trivets are already on the table by the time it is served.

During the week a fraction of it is enough. The 24 cm pan and the smallest pot carry the weekday dinners while the rest stay in the cupboard, ready for when guests come.

Care

• Wait until the vessel has cooled; hot aluminium meeting cold water is what damages the coating.
• Use warm water and a soft sponge rather than a scouring pad or sharp tools.
• Stir and turn with wooden or silicone tools, on the grill pan as well.
• Wipe the silicone rim of each lid separately and put it back on the vessel dry.
• For storage stack the three pots with a cloth between them and keep the grill pan separate so the ridges do not meet another surface.
• Wash the two trivets by hand and put them back in the cupboard only when dry.

Who this set suits

How it arrives

The eleven pieces arrive in one gift box with a photograph of the vessels on the side. As a present, or as the base of a new household, it can be handed over exactly as it comes.
