Embark on a Culinary Journey with Our Cookware

Cooking is more than just preparing meals. Culinary is about creativity, flavour, and the joy of bringing ingredients to life. Stevens offers a wide variety of kitchen cookware to support all types of cooking, from home chefs to professional cooks.

Find the Right Cookware for Your Cooking Style

The best cookware depends on how you cook, what you cook, and your stovetop type. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

For easy everyday cooking, choose non-stick frying pans or hard anodised pans. These pans make cooking and cleaning a breeze - perfect for eggs, pancakes, and low-fat meals.

For High-Heat Cooking and stir-fries, a carbon steel wok gives the best results when searing meats and vegetables at high temperatures.

For Slow-Cooked, Flavorful Dishes: A cast iron skillet or Dutch oven is unbeatable for braising, roasting, and stews. They retain heat well and improve with use.

For Oven-to-Table Convenience: Stoneware or glass cookware is ideal for baking, roasting, and serving. It doesn’t react with food and adds a stylish touch to the table.

For maximum flexibility, choose induction cookware. It works on all types of stovetops. Stainless steel cookware is ideal for searing, boiling, and everything.

Here are some frequently asked questions about choosing cooking tools:

Which wok do you recommend?

A carbon steel wok is best for high-heat stir-frying, while a non-stick wok is ideal for easy cooking and cleaning. A cast iron wok is a great option if you prefer stovetop-to-oven cooking.

What is the best non-stick frying pan in NZ?

Look for hard anodised non-stick frying pans for durability and scratch resistance. Brands like Stevens and Fiskars offer high-quality options.

What makes a good cast iron skillet?

A well-seasoned cast iron skillet has a smooth, non-stick surface, retains heat well, and has a sturdy handle.

Can I use any cookware on a ceramic hob?

Flat-bottom stainless steel, hard anodised, and induction pots and pans work best on ceramic hobs. Avoid rough-bottom pans that may scratch the surface.

How do I clean my Le Creuset cast iron cookware?

Use warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh scrubbing pads or dishwashers, which can damage the enamel coating.
