  2. Introducing our new Chef’s Pan!

    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. As an exciting addition to our stainless steel tri-ply range, here’s why we think this pan will be a best seller:


    Stirring mushrooms in ProWare's chef's pan

    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.

  4. 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/

    Cooking Method for the Nam-Prik-Ong

    Authentic Thai Nam-Prik-Ong with Spring Vegetables by Marni Xuto
    You can tell this dish is packed with punchy flavours!
    1. Blend the chilli paste ingredients in an electric blender or pound them in a pestle and mortar. 
    2. Gently fry the paste with the vegetable oil in a Copper Tri-Ply 24cm Non Stick Frying Pan, over medium heat until it has infused. 
    3. Add in the mince and fry it over a medium heat, stirring it until the mince is cooked.
    4. Next to add are the tomatoes. Stir them until the tomato peel comes away from the flesh. 
    5. Pour in the water and bring it to the boil for approximately 5 minutes. Simmer it until the liquid reduces (approximately 25 – 30 minutes), making sure you stir it regularly. 
    6. Meanwhile, prepare the Copper Base 20cm Saucepan and Stainless Steel Steamer. The time you steam the vegetables for will depend on your preference.  
    7. Turn your attention to the Nam-Prik-Ong mixture. Season with the sugar, fish sauce, and tomato puree. Turn the heat up and cook for another 3 minutes. 
    8. Finally, transfer the Nam-Prik-Ong into a Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 9cm Mini Pan. Arrange the steamed and fresh vegetables around the paste, serve with Thai sticky rice, and enjoy!

  9. Energy Saving Tips for the Kitchen

    Leave a Comment

    How much time do you spend cooking per week? Per year? Well, according to Ideal Home, cooking is the most time-consuming chore in our lives, taking up a whopping 253 minutes per week or 439 days in a lifetime! That might sound like heaven to chefs and foodies but that’s also a lot of energy being used in the kitchen!

    Simple actions like heating up last night’s leftovers or making a quick cup of tea in the advert break can use up a lot more energy than you think. We’ve got some top tips for saving energy in the kitchen:

     

    1. Make sure the pan covers the entirety of the hob. Any space outside the edge of the pan is where wasted energy will escape.
      Copper Base Milkpan
    2. Make sure you pick the right size pan for the job. A bigger pan takes longer to heat up and you will need more water to fill it. It takes more energy to heat a larger pan with only one fifth full with water in it than it does to heat a smaller pan that is full of water.
    3. Try turning off the heat a couple of minutes before your food is fully cooked. This works particularly well with electric hobs as they can take a while to cool and will continue to cook the food.Energy Saving TIps for the Kitchen
    4. Don’t use more water than you need. Boiling extra water takes more energy and time.
    5. Use a kettle. It is better to heat water in a kettle, rather than on the stove then transfer it into a pan once boiled.
    6. Reduce the number of pans you cook with. This will in turn lead to less washing up, saving water, cleaning products and time.Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Steamer with a piece of fish and lemongrass inside and the lid being lifted off
    7. Try a steamer – it’s not only the best way to cook your vegetables because of the way it retains the nutrients in them but you can also cook several things are once on one heat source. ie boil your pasta in the pot and steam your vegetables in the steamer on top. Check out our Stainless Steel Multi Steamer here. Michelin-starred chef Paul Welburn loves using our Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Steamer to cook fish. Steamers are incredibly energy efficient, using the heat from boiling water below (which you can also use to cook pasta, vegetables, and much more at the same time!). It fits perfectly snugly on top of our saucepans which is great for cooking and storage.
    8. Choose energy efficient products – our stainless steel tri-ply pans are made for induction not only very effective at heating up but the interior metal aluminium acts like a hot water bottle and keeps the pan hot and also helps product an even heat distribution. Also not all induction pans are made the same. We have tested lots of different pans on the market today and some of them even though they are induction compatible still take ages to heat up. We know our Stainless Steel Tri-ply pans are perfect for the job and heat up very quickly.Energy Saving Tips for the kitchen
    9. Try to avoid opening the oven too often. This lets out the hot air and wastes energy when the oven has to work it’s way back up to the set temperature wasting energy.
    10. Have a lid? Use it! Water will boil faster and food will heat quicker when using a lid.

     

    For more info, the Energy Saving Trust has great ideas here too.

  10. 7 Things We Love About Our Copper Tri-Ply Range

    Comments Off on 7 Things We Love About Our Copper Tri-Ply Range

    So, to help you make an informed buying decision, we’re sharing what we love about one of our most popular pan collections. Say hello to the copper tri-ply range and discover why professionals wouldn’t be without it…

    1. Carefully Engineered

    Copper tri-ply cookware starts life as three sheets of high-grade metals: copper, aluminium and stainless steel. The metals are bonded together and deep drawn into a single piece body, meaning that each material delivers it’s benefit throughout the entirety of the pan.

    The cast stainless steel handle is attached using stainless steel rivets, inserted under 600 tonnes of pressure – so you can be sure that you will never again have a wobbly handle!

    2. Made for Efficiency

    If you want efficiency in the kitchen, this range of pans certainly offers it. Working together the copper exterior and aluminium core distribute heat efficiently and evenly. The construction allows you to moderate the heat settings you use during cooking, reducing the amount of energy required to achieve a rolling boil. As a result of the even cook they really are the ideal range for more intricate cooking -they work beautifully for preparing gravies, reducing jus or caramelising sugars.

    3. Performance is Guaranteed

    4. Versatile

    The copper tri-ply range offers optimum versatility and practicality as the pans are all oven and dishwasher safe. This makes them perfect for transferring from hob-to-oven and even oven-to-table (well, they are such handsome devils!). Dishwasher suitability makes the tidy-up so much simpler too.

    We have incorporated several design aspects in to these pans to make them not only beautiful but dynamically functional. A steep arch in the handle makes the items easier to handle; it keeps the handle away from the heat source; and, allows the pans to nest efficiently in cupboards or drawers. An eyelet where the handle meets the pan body disperses heat to ensure handles don’t get too hot and a hanging loop enables the pans to be elegantly displayed in your kitchen. We also know that larger pans can be very heavy when full. That’s why we have added helper handles to the 18cm and 20cm saucepans, and the 24cm sauté pan.

    6. Simply Stunning

    So many of our customers tell us they can’t wait to display their pans as soon as they get them home. The great thing about making the range a feature of your space is that you can either let the copper age naturally, admiring the beautiful character develop or, you can use Brasso or a salt and white wine vinegar solution to restore the copper to its fabulous, warm glow.
