Pot Sets: Stainless Steel & Non-Stick Granite Cookware

It depends on how you cook. Many South African homes use both.

• Stainless steel pots have no coating, so they won't scratch or peel. They are ideal for boiling, browning meat, stews, soups and pap, and can last for decades.
• Non-stick granite pots release food easily, need less oil and clean up in seconds. They are great for eggs, rice, sauces and anyone who wants healthier, low-oil cooking.

For one or two people, a 5 to 8 piece pot set covers everyday cooking. For a family, an 11 piece set gives you more pot sizes for cooking several dishes at once. If you're setting up a new home or want everything in one box, a 23 piece cookware set is the most complete option and makes a great wedding or housewarming gift.

3-ply cookware is made from three bonded layers: a stainless steel cooking surface, an aluminium core that spreads heat quickly and evenly, and a durable outer layer. It heats faster and more evenly than single-layer stainless steel, with no hot spots and no coating. Our 5 Piece 3-Ply Stainless Steel Pots Set is built this way.

Our 5 Piece 3-Ply Stainless Steel Pots Set and our 8 Piece Non-Stick Granite Pot Set are induction compatible, and also work on gas, electric and ceramic stoves. Quick test for any pot: if a fridge magnet sticks firmly to the base, it will work on induction.

Yes. Our 23 Piece Non-Stick Granite Cookware Set has a PFOA-free coating. To keep any non-stick surface in good condition, cook on low to medium heat, never heat the pot empty, and use wooden or silicone utensils instead of metal.

Heat the empty pot on medium for a minute or two, then add your oil and let it warm before adding food. Let meat brown and release naturally before you move it. Cold oil in a cold pot is the most common cause of sticking.

Soak the pot in warm soapy water, then scrub with a non-scratch sponge. For burnt-on food, boil a little water with a spoon of bicarbonate of soda for a few minutes and let it cool before scrubbing. Rainbow-coloured heat marks and white water spots come off with a splash of white vinegar. Add salt only once the water is boiling to avoid small pits in the steel.

Wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scourers and metal utensils, and let hot pots cool before rinsing them in cold water. Looked after this way, your non-stick coating stays smooth for much longer.

Our stainless steel pot sets (5 piece and 11 piece) are dishwasher safe. For the non-stick granite sets, we recommend washing by hand to protect the coating.
