We are still offering a free gift for anybody who orders goods worth £100 or over on the Pots and Pans website. In keeping with the festive time of the year we are now giving a free set of Tom Smith Crackers to anybody who spends £100 or over. In 1847 Thomas J. Smith, the founder of the Tom Smith company invented the cracker. His original crackers actually contained sweets and not gifts as the present version does. Several years later in effort to differentiate their crackers from rival companies who copied their original idea his son decided to include gifts and hats as well as introducing variations on the design of the cracker.

We are still offering free delivery on all orders of £75 or over for customers in Great Britain. There is an equivalent discount for customers outside of Great Britain.

Other new additions to the website include several new serving dishes by Prestige.

Also new on the website are seven new models of Krups coffee machines. Included among the new machines are three colour variations of the popular Dolce Gusto model, as well as the standard black model there are now Ivory and Red models which are now available on the website. We have also started to stock the Dolce Gusto Circulo model. This machine as the name suggests features an unique circular design that makes it look unlike any other coffee machine currently available. The Dolce Gusto Circulo is more than just a striking looking coffee machine though, it also makes a fantastic cup of coffee.

There has also been a major increase in the range of Joseph Joseph products that we stock. We are now stocking numerous designs of their worktop savers, including the designs based round the inside of fruit. This includes the kiwi, orange, tomato and onion designs. Other new Joseph Joseph products that have been added to the website include a stylish new salad bowl, and an ergonomically designed colander. If you are a fan of Joseph Joseph you will instantly recognise their unique design style in both of these new products. They share a chic modern aesthetic which helps give them the look and feel that is unique to Joseph Joseph products.

Even in the run up to Christmas, the busiest time of the year for an online retailer, we are continuing to expand the ranges that we stock. We are continually on the lookout for new ranges that we believe will add value to our online cookware and kitchenware store. If you believe that there is a range we should be stocking that we currently don’t have let us know and we will see what we can do about adding it.

Zeal Kitchenware now in stock

We have now started stocking Zeal Kitchenware on our online cookware and kitchenware shop. Zeal Kitchenware specialise in producing colourful kitchen tools and bakeware made from silicone. Constructing products with silicone has several advantages. This remarkable material is resistant to high temperatures - safe to use at temperatures up to 315°C / 600°F. Unlike some other materials that are often used in the production of kitchen tools and bakeware, it does not absorb flavours. It is suitable for use in microwaves, the oven and the freezer. Perhaps best of all, it is easy to clean!

Zeal produce a wide range of kitchen utensils and bakeware ranging from tongs and spatulas to loaf trays and muffin cases. One of their more unique products is the Splatter Guard. This has been designed to prevent hot oil or sauces ‘spitting’ out of the pan during cooking. It sits on top of the pan during cooking, essentially acting like a lid. Since it has been constructed using silicone it is flexible, non-stick, easy to clean and hygienic.

Other kitchen utensils in their range include Cooks Tongs, Ladles, Cooks Spoons and a Slotted Turner, all of which are constructed using silicone which means they can be used when cooking at high temperatures. These are available in a variety of colours including red, lime and mulberry.

The bakeware products from Zeal include Cake and Muffin Cases, Mini Flan Cases and Loaf Trays. Also constructed from silicone, they are exceedingly flexible, as well as being reusable.

Other Zeal products that we expect will be popular are the Basting Brush and the Patissier Brush. Both of these brushes have silicone bristles, this ensures that they can be used at high temperatures and that the bristles are flexible. This makes both of these brushes ideal for use in their intended tasks.
