Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel and new Magimix Nespresso coffee machines added to the website


The latest additions to our online cookware shop include the new Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel cookware range as well as the new Magimix Nespresso coffee machines.

Le Creuset has always been one of the most popular and definitely one of our top selling brands. We expect to find that the new Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel range will be as popular as the existing ranges from this world renowned cookware manufacturer. Although they are best known for their cast iron cookware range the new 3-Ply range is made from a mixture of high grade stainless steel combined with a dash of aluminium. The pans have an aluminium core which ensures that heat is spread evenly across the pan which eliminates hotspots. The pans in the new Le Creuset 3-Ply range are suitable for use on gas and electric hobs as well as induction hobs. All the stainless steel products in this new range come with a life time guarantee, the non-stick coated products in the range have a 10 year guarantee.

We have also started to sell the new range of Magimix Nespresso coffee makers. All of the new coffee machines have been produced to use Nespresso Grands Crus capsules. There are currently 16 different flavours of coffee available in the Grands Cru range. We use one of these machines in our office so we can agree that they do as they claim make the perfect espresso every time.

These are not the last of the new ranges that we will be adding to the Pots and Pans website, we will continue to keep you informed when we add new ranges or expand our existing ranges.

New Oxo Good Grips and Miniamo products added to the website.

This week we have expanded the range of Oxo Good Grips products that we stock as well as adding the Miniamo children’s collection to the range of cookware brands that we sell on our online cookware shop.

The Oxo Good Grips range is already one of our best selling ranges. Due to numerous requests from our customers we decided to expand the range of products that we currently stock from this range. We have added an extra 24 products to the products that we already stock on our online cookware shop. New products added to our store include a garlic peeler, a Silicone pastry brush as well as a Mini Squeegee.

Oxo Good Grips produce kitchen utensils that have been designed to make them as easy to use as is possible. Although the initial idea behind their creation was to provide tools that could be used with people with limited dexterity they have been produced so that they can be used by everyone. They are all designed so that they can be used by both right and left handed people. Oxo Good Grips products have won numerous awards including one from the Arthritis Foundation.

Miniamo is the latest range that we have added to our online cookware shop. The Miniamo children’s collection features a wide range of colourful products that have been designed to encourage children to have fun as well as learn when cooking, baking or even when eating. The products have all been designed with the specific goal of helping to fire the imagination of children with regards to food. As well being designed to be fun all the products within the range are also practical. As well as apron and chef’s hat sets the range also includes mixing bowls, whisks, mixing spoons and preparation boards. Everything that a child needs to start cooking or baking has been included in the Miniamo collection.

We will over the coming weeks continue to expand the selection of brands that we sell on the website. If there are any particular ranges that you would like to see added to our online cookware shop then let us know, we always welcome your feedback.

We are now selling simplehuman bins


We have now started stocking simplehuman bins as well as various other products from this brand including carrier bag and kitchen roll holders on our online cookware shop. The simplehuman range of bins is designed to combine style with strength and durability. The philosophy behind their approach to design is to create “tools for efficient living”. Despite the stylish and contemporary look and feel of simplehuman products they have all been created to provide practical solutions to problems associated with everyday tasks. The simplehuman range includes a selection of bins which have been created so that they will fit into a small space which would otherwise be hard to utilise for any other purpose. This is also true of their carrier bag holders which have been designed so that they will fit into small spaces, which enables this space to be utilised for a practical purpose.

The simplehuman butterfly bin features an innovative lid design which has been based on a butterfly’s wings. Although this is visually unusual it is at the same time a practical solution that enables this type of bins to have maximum clearance under low counter tops.

Another example of their innovative design style being used to provide practical solutions to an everyday problem can be seen in the opening mechanism on the simplehuman soft touch bin. This bin is opened by touching gently on the front of the lid. This innovative opening mechanism makes it an alternative to the classical pedal bin.

We have also started selling the simplehuman sensor soap dispenser. This soap dispenser has been designed so that it will automatically sense your hand when it is placed below the sensor, when it detects the hand it will then dispense the soap. This means that you no longer have to touch the dispenser for it to work. This should help to minimise the possibility of people coming into contact with germs when washing their hands.
