KITCHENWARE THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

In a busy kitchen, pots and pans get plenty of use. But how do you take care of them to keep them looking beautiful – and performing at their best? Here we meet the experts at Le Creuset to learn how to get the most out of our kitchenware.

When shopping for our homes, buying pieces made to last is a given. We’ll spend hours researching the best mattress to support our needs, we’ll invest in a couch that delivers on style and comfort but have you ever thought about applying that same logic to your kitchen? Sure, you’ll have chosen an oven or fridge with longevity in mind but how about the products that live inside your cupboards? Your pots and pans, to be specific.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or an experimental home chef, high-quality pots and pans are an indispensable piece of kit. “Having the right tools in the kitchen will ensure that you are best prepared to create all your favourite recipes,” explains the experts at Le Creuset. “The right cookware can be depended on to produce delicious results and most of all will make the cooking process more enjoyable than ever.”

Here, we sit down with Le Creuset's expert team to learn the importance of premium cookware but also how to care for your pots and pans to ensure they last a lifetime.

QUANTITY VS QUALITY

“Our products are crafted to withstand the test of time and embody the buy-it-once-for-life nature of quality cookware. However, there is a place for quantity in that, ultimately, different pieces of cookware are better suited to different ingredients and cooking techniques.”

SHOP VIBRANT VOLCANIC:

CAN COOKWARE REALLY LAST A LIFETIME?

“Absolutely! Since 1925, Le Creuset has been honoured to share in the meals, memories and traditions made by food lovers worldwide. Le Creuset products become family members and are often passed down through the generations. We’ve had feedback from several customers who mention that they are still using, for example, a Le Creuset casserole that belonged to their mother or a grandparent.”

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR POTS AND PANS

“We would strongly recommend following the Care & Use instructions which accompany Le Creuset cookware upon purchase to ensure the longevity of your product. Some of which include:

  • - Always use a low to medium heat setting for the majority of cooking.
  • - Match the base of the pan or casserole to the hob heat zone.
  • - Avoid harsh, abrasive cleaning pads or agents when washing up.

THE ONE PIECE WORTH INVESTING IN

“No kitchen should be without the iconic cast-iron Signature Round Casserole. Renowned for its excellent heat retention, this casserole is suitable for hob top and oven use, and yields moist, tender results for slow-simmered soups and stews. It can even be used for baking, too. However, you'll find that our Toughened Non-Stick and 3-ply Stainless Steel ranges are also full of essentials that perfectly complement your everyday cooking, adding extra versatility to your kitchen.”
