New Krups, Circulon, Raymond Blanc by Anolon, Prestige, and Joseph Joseph products now on the website

At Pots and Pans we are continually updating and expanding the products that we sell through our online cookware and kitchenware shop, the latest additions include new products from Raymond Blanc by Anolon, Circulon, Prestige, Krups and Joseph Joseph.

The first of the new additions are two new 5 piece pan sets from Raymond Blanc by Anolon. Both of these pan sets include a milkpan, 16cm, 18cm and 20cm saucepans and a 24cm frying pan or skillet. The first of these pan sets is from the Stainless Steel range. We are currently selling this pan set for £149.99, which is a £95 saving on the recommended retail price. The second pan set is from the Raymond Blanc by Anolon Professional range. This is presently retailing for £125, this is £90 below the usual recommended retail price.

There is also a new 4 piece pan set from Circulon. The Circulon Steel Elite 4 Piece Pan Set includes 16cm, 18cm and 20cm saucepans along with a 20cm skillet or frying pan. This pan set is currently available for £149.99, this is £95 below its recommended retail price.

Other new additions to the website include several new serving dishes by Prestige. These dishes have all been made with double walled insulated stainless steel, this has been used as it enables the dishes to maintain a consistent temperature. The serving dishes are available in different shapes, there is a round serving dish as well as different sized versions of the oval shaped serving dish.

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.

The benefits of non-stick cookware (Or why I love Circulon)

Non-stick, PTFE, Teflon. You either love the stuff, or hate it. I love it unashamedly, and firmly believe it makes me a better cook. Whether I am doing caramelised balsamic onions, or just good old porridge, nothing sticks to my trusty Circulon pans.

I didn’t always love non-stick though. As a student, my knowledge of it was limited to the horrible frypan lurking in the back of the cupboard, with its non-stick all scratched and peeling off. I just ignored it and used the equally nasty stainless steel pans. The thing is everyone has seen one of these awful frypans (usually purchased from a now defunct high street store) and it makes non-stick seem a bit unappealing.

Then I started working at Pots and Pans. Sales skill being no small part of the job, I started to believe the hype about Circulon products. A sauté pan came on special offer so I bought one, to see what all the fuss was about. It was the best thing I had ever used. Nothing stuck to it, not even a bit! Better than that it cleaned up brilliantly (even though I left it until the next morning). I was a convert from that moment on.

Many years later, and though the branding has changed (the range now includes Circulon Elite, Circulon Infinite and Circulon Steel) the quality remains the same. My cooking skills have improved somewhat though, and I now appreciate the subtleties of the range. The heavy gauge aluminium body means the heat conduction is excellent, which in turn means you can cook on a lower temperature, saving power. The superb non-stick means barely any oil is required when cooking, and you will not believe how easy they are to clean until you try it. And the sauté pan I bought so many years ago? The longevity of these pans is great, so it’s still going strong.

So if you have been a bit put off by the frightening looking non-stick pan lurking in the corner, chuck it in the bin and get yourself a Circulon one, I guarantee you will love it!
