How to choose cookware that’s right for you

When choosing your cookware products in New Zealand, consider the type of cooking you do most often and select options designed for those techniques. Think about the maintenance you're willing to perform – for example, while cast iron requires seasoning, stainless steel is more forgiving. Assess compatibility with your cooktop, especially if you have an induction range. Lastly, consider the cookware's oven-safe temperature if you plan to use it for baking or roasting.

Other kitchenware essentials you need to own

Food storage solutions like jars and bread bins are very handy products to have to complement your pantry and cupboard spaces. On top of this, high-quality utensils are a must given the amount they’ll be used and the rigour they’ll need to withstand. You may even opt for dedicated sets you can bring out for special occasions. Speciality knives and tools are also a must for anyone contemplating serious cooking as they’ll improve your technique and allow you to create dishes at another level completely.
