TOP 10 REASONS WHY 316 SERIES COOKWARE DESERVES A PLACE IN YOUR KITCHEN

Cook smarter, healthier, and more sustainably with our 316 Series Cookware range. Precision, durability, and healthier cooking are only the beginning. More than a kitchen essential, this stainless-steel range is a lifestyle upgrade.

316 Series comprises of stackable saucepans, uncoated frying pans, and woks, along with steamers and a low casserole, each engineered for exceptional durability, superior corrosion resistance, and lasting culinary performance.

At its heart is a sophisticated tri-ply construction: two layers of high-grade stainless steel that fully encapsulate a responsive aluminium core that extends from base to rim, delivering rapid, even heat distribution. This faster energy-efficient heat response reduces cooking time.

Craftsmanship is evident throughout: in the precision of the rolled rims, the robustness of the riveted handles, the smooth integration of lids and bodies, and the consistency of the finish.

Dishwasher safe and backed by a 25-year guarantee.

1. Tri-ply construction for superior performance

The tri-ply construction is an aluminium core encapsulated between stainless steel from base to rim - ensures an even all-round heat distribution and superior performance every time. A stay-cool* knob, stay-cool* handles and safe steam release on the lids complete the stylish design. Whether you’re searing a steak or frying an egg every dish cooks evenly.

2. Uncoated 316 stainless-steel cooking surface

The 316 stainless-steel cooking surface offers lasting durability and is uncoated for healthier cooking. While most cookware relies on conventional stainless steel, we selected 316-grade stainless steel for its superior resistance to corrosion, pitting, and staining. Commonly used in demanding environments, 316 Series offers a highly durable, non-reactive cooking surface that will not compromise the flavour of acidic or salty ingredients.

4. Stackable, space-saving saucepans

5. Hob to oven

316 Series Cookware offers unmatched versatility by going from hob to oven. Helper handles provide balance and safer transfer. You can start cooking on the hob with 316 Series and finish in the oven without transferring dishes, preserving flavours and textures. It’s ideal for searing, roasting, or braising, saving time, reducing clean-up, and creating perfectly cooked meals every time. 316 Series is oven safe to 240°C.

6. Built for a lifetime of healthy cooking

316 Series Cookware has been considered with full lifecycle thinking in mind. By choosing premium 316 stainless steel, eliminating non-stick coatings, and engineering every piece for long-term daily use, this is a ‘buy once’ proposition. By using 316 stainless steel, rather than a non-stick coating, avoids the use of PFAS dubbed ‘forever chemicals’ (which do not break down over time) and is a healthier way to eat and live. Each piece includes a 25-year lifetime guarantee.

7. Saucepan capacity markings

Capacity markings make everyday cooking quicker, easier, and more precise. By allowing you to measure liquids directly in the pan, they reduce the need for extra jugs or measuring cups, saving time and minimising washing up. They’re especially useful when preparing sauces or soups, helping you work more confidently and accurately as you cook. It’s a small but thoughtful design detail that streamlines the cooking process and keeps everything focused in one place - simple, practical, and reassuringly convenient.

8. Dishwasher safe

The stainless-steel rivets and rolled edges are corrosion resistant and dishwasher safe. Allow your cookware to cool prior to cleaning. For best results, use a hot cycle (65°–75°C and 150°-170°F) with quality all-in-one tablets such as Fairy Platinum Plus (Cascade Platinum Plus in the US) or Finish Quantum Powerball. For handwashing, soak in warm, soapy water, then wash with a sponge or soft cloth. Gently use a nylon or stainless-steel scourer for more stubborn marks. Rinse with warm water and dry immediately.

9. Evolution not revolution

While 316 Series marks a new chapter for us it remains rooted in our design heritage. Its silhouette draws inspiration from founder Robert Welch’s original Campden Cookware, launched in the 1990s in New York as Galerie Cuisine Cookware, which he described as: “A merger of function and finesse for the discerning cook.” Robert Welch always believed that everyday products should be elevated through intelligent design. 316 Series Cookware continues that legacy.

10. An ideal gift

Stylish, practical, and long-lasting, 316 Series is the perfect gift for anyone enthusiastic about cooking. It is also the ideal present for those starting out on their culinary journey, making it a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift.
