Design Notes
Introducing 316 Series Cookware – engineered for performance, designed for life. The 316 Series is designed for cooks who value both performance and healthy eating.
The 5-piece set comprises of a 16cm, 18cm and 20cm saucepan, 24cm uncoated frying pan and a 28cm low casserole. Featuring tri-ply construction: Two layers of high-grade stainless steel fully encapsulate a responsive aluminium core that extends throughout the pan from base to rim, ensuring rapid, even heat distribution. Suitable for all hobs, including induction and oven-safe to 240°C, including the vented lids.
The space-saving stackable saucepans are ideal for boiling or steaming vegetables, making soups and sauces, boiling eggs, and cooking rice.
The frying pan is incredibly versatile and can be used for sautéing, searing, finishing dishes in the oven, making sauces and of course, frying.
The low casserole, with close-fit lid, is versatile and is perfect for one-pot meals, braising, searing, shallow frying and of course casseroles.
The cooking surfaces are crafted from premium-grade 316 stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional resistance to corrosion. Offering lasting durability, the surfaces won’t react with acidic or salty ingredients, ensuring optimal flavour every time. The high-grade aluminium core efficiently transfers the heat from base to rim, eliminating hot spots.
Rolled edges ensure the aluminium core is fully encapsulated within the stainless-steel layers, protecting it from corrosion in the dishwasher. Flared rims allow for a smooth, controlled pouring action. Inside the pans is a handy measurement guide.
Knobs and long handles are designed to stay cool during use*. Dishwasher safe and backed by a lifetime guarantee.
The 316 Series Cookware range also includes four individual saucepans available in the following sizes: 14cm, 16cm, 18cm and 20cm along with two uncoated frying pans, two woks, and a low casserole, all made from durable 316 stainless steel. The steamer inserts are made from superior quality 18/10 stainless steel.
*During oven use the handles will become hot

Product Care & How-to Guides
![]()
Dishwasher safe
• For best results, use a hot cycle at 65°-75°C (150°-167°F) with quality all-in-one tablets such as Fairy Platinum Plus (Cascade Platinum Plus in the US) or Finish Quantum Powerball.
• We recommend avoiding ‘eco mode’, as its lower water temperature may not fully dissolve or activate the detergent, which can result in residue, leaving your cookware with stains or a dull finish.
Handwashing
• Allow your cookware to cool prior to cleaning.
• 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.
• To restore shine and remove blemishes, use a non-abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keepers Friend powder and a micro fibre cloth.
• To remove 'rainbow’ discolouration, wipe the pan with a soft cloth and diluted white vinegar, rinse, and dry. For cloudy white hard water spots, remove by boiling a 1:3 white vinegar to water solution. If the spots persist, try increasing the ratio of vinegar to water to 1:2.
• Avoid oven cleaners, steel/wire wool, and harsh detergents containing bleach or peroxide.
• Never place your hot cookware in or under cold water, as it could cause warping.
• Do not use your cookware for storing or marinating food.
