    Leave a Comment

    When it comes to kitchen essentials, our Chef’s Pan is a true standout. More than just a pot or a pan, it’s the ultimate multitasker, ready to tackle any cooking task you throw at it. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a home cook, this pan brings efficiency, versatility, and style to your kitchen.

    1. The versatility of a saucier

    Also known as a saucier—a French word for “sauce”—our Chef’s Pan offers much more than your standard frying pan or pot. Its deeper design and sloped sides allow for seamless stirring and whisking, making it perfect for dishes that require constant attention like sauces, risottos, and custards. It’s the pan you’ll reach for whether you’re searing, simmering, or sautéing.

    2. Rounded bottom for perfect stirring

    One of the standout features of this pan is its rounded bottom edge. This design ensures that your whisk, spoon, or spatula can easily glide through every inch of the pan, preventing ingredients from sticking or burning. It gives you full access to every bit of your dish, resulting in more even cooking and better flavours.

    3. Efficient evaporation

    The 24cm diameter of our Chef’s Pan promotes faster evaporation, which is crucial when you’re working on reducing liquids for rich sauces or creating creamy dishes like risotto. Whether thickening a velvety béchamel or letting a reduction concentrate, this pan is designed to help you develop depth of flavour effortlessly.

    4. Ergonomic Handle

    Cooking over high heat can be tiring, but our signature long, ergonomic handle is designed with comfort in mind. Its sleek design ensures a firm, comfortable grip, even during longer cooking sessions. The balance of the handle also allows for easy maneuvering, giving you more control over your culinary creations.

    5. Tri-ply construction

    Durability and performance are key to any kitchen tool, and our Chef’s Pan delivers both, thanks to its Tri-ply construction. This means it has an aluminium core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional heat retention and even cooking. Whether you’re using a gas stove or induction hob, this pan heats evenly and holds its temperature well.

    6. One-pot perfection

    If you love simplicity in cooking, our Chef’s Pan is a dream come true. Its depth, wide surface, and sloped sides make it ideal for one-pot meals. Whether you’re preparing a hearty stew, a stir-fry, or a skillet pasta dish, you can do it all in this pan. You can brown meat, simmer sauces, and toss everything together, cutting down on cleanup. It’s a true all-in-one wonder!

    Welcome to the ProWare Kitchen family, where every meal is a masterpiece waiting to be crafted.

    Guide for use:

    Avoid soaking wooden boards, as this may lead to warping. Instead, clean them with a mild detergent, then allow them to air dry by standing them upright. Vinegar is effective for disinfection, especially after cutting eggs or meat. Wiping the board with a lemon segment helps eliminate odors. For tough stains, sprinkle baking soda onto a sponge and gently scrub the affected area. We recommend regularly oiling your wooden chopping board to keep it well-maintained. Signs that your board needs oiling include dryness, dullness, and water absorption. Ensure a food-safe oil is used which is suitable for chopping boards to keep your board looking beautiful and to prolong its lifespan.

  5. Emma Britton Q&A

    Leave a Comment

    The team at ProWare first met Emma Britton at the Spirit of Christmas at London Olympia and were wowed by her beautiful and innovative designs. From glassware and mirrors to napkins and splashbacks, Emma’s collection has something for every home.

    With individually crafted and bespoke creations, Emma’s products are sure to give any kitchen a beautiful finishing touch. Intrigued by how Emma got started, we sat down and asked her more about it…


    1.Tell us more about yourself/brand?

    I am a decorative glass designer, meaning I put pattern onto glass. I launched my business, Emma Britton Decorative Glass Designer, back in 2010, and came up with an idea of putting repeated pattern onto glass splashbacks that wasn’t available at the time. I had a background in textile design but had worked in the glass industry, so my niche came from the marriage of these two areas of expertise.

    2. What makes your splashbacks so special?

    They are original and very much designed to bring joy or to complete an interior space. I personally oversee every project from design, to making and fitting. Each home and customer is unique so I work with clients to realise what they would like and help to solve their design dilemmas. My glass splashbacks are pretty yet practical, designed to last, suitable to use behind all kinds of hobs and cookers. Customers can either choose from one of my collections or commission a bespoke design – we have different price points depending on your budget. 

    3. Talk about your signature design style…

    My work has a strong British aesthetic, it’s bold, confident and often colourful with a hint of nostalgia, mostly floral, and always inspired by suburbia and the way we decorate our homes. I paint all my designs by hand. My pieces are always practical though, and designed with modern living and entertaining in mind. In my spare time I love to be a hostess and really enjoy decorating my Edwardian home.

    4. You also design for glassware…tell us more

    I’ve been designing patterns for glassware since 2015. I wanted to expand my offering and it felt like a natural synergy to the splashbacks as its still pattern on glass. During the pandemic we bought all our glassware decoration in-house, something I am incredibly proud of and now decorate everything in small batches in my Derbyshire studio. I launched new designs at this point; my pretty etched Silver Birch Collection with dainty, dappled leaves and it has really taken off. I think people like to use nice things everyday, it just elevates the everyday, from a nice glass of water to a pretty glass of wine on the sofa and with friends. 

    What is your favourite dish to cook at home?

    I really like to make a vegetarian version using quorn mince of coochinando’s Pasta Al Forna. It takes about two hours to make, so I usually do it on a Saturday afternoon when I can relax and enjoy the cooking process. I make a huge dish, or two at a time, so I can freeze some portions and also enjoy it the next day when it tastes even better! https://coochinando.com/recipes/pasta-al-forno-oven-pasta-bake/
