“Good cookware is an investment that should last for years”

More and more people are seeing cookware as an investment by buying long-lasting, quality and durable cookware, which is safe and functional. PH considers the trends and what is influencing purchases.

There have been many factors over recent years which have caused us to focus on cooking at home. First the pandemic removed our option to eat out, while a focus on health and wellbeing has moved many away from processed foods, and now the increased pressure on budgets, leaves us looking not only for more cost-effective ways to eat, but also for cookware that will last the test of time and ideally save energy.

Bryony Dyer, managing director of Dexam explains: “I firmly believe the consumer wants something that will last, function exceptionally, is energy efficient and at a price they can afford. Our Supreme cookware, for example, is suitable for all hob types, with the 6mm impact-bonded aluminium and fully encapsulated sandwich base, makes them super energy-efficient.

 

“I think people are generally being more cautious with their spending, but that caution is tempered by wanting stunning pieces in their kitchen that last. The trend continues towards healthy eating and preparing food from scratch, so at Dexam, we want to support our customers to enable them to do this.”

Lucy King, product manager at Smeg, agrees: “The most important factors are cost, quality and materials. Good cookware is anWinnington investment that should last for years, so they should be sturdy and durable, have good heat conductivity, and be easy to use and maintain. If they look great and make a design statement on your countertop, then that’s a bonus.
