MCUSTA Kitchen Knives

Unlike anything else on the market, MCUSTA Japanese chefs knives feature a revolutionary new design with ergonomic handles available in a choice of Black Pakkawood or stunning Quince burl.

Super sharp straight out of the box, the MCUSTA edge is a hybrid of the Japanese hamaguri and chisel edge. Made from 33 layered damascus steel, it is finished to a 1mm bevel giving precise, straight and accurate cuts. Perfectly weighted and balanced, these knives are extraordinary.

All-Clad

With its gleaming exterior and unique bonded construction, All-Clad's Stainless Collection is all you need and everything you could want. This collection is a dream to cook with and represents All-Clad culinary performance at its best.

All-Clad Stainless has a hand-polished 18/10 stainless steel exterior bonded to a highly conductive aluminum core. The collection delivers exceptional culinary results in professional class cookware that is attractive to look at and easy to maintain. Designed for cooking with gas, electric and induction ranges, Stainless can also be used in the oven up to 260°C.

Scizza

Everybody knows how painfully ineffective a pizza wheel is - it never cuts all the way through, the toppings become mangled and dragged across the base as you run the pizza wheel back and forth trying to complete a cut, and you end up making a mess instead of a meal. Whether using a knife or a pizza wheel, the blade comes in direct contact with your cookware leaving it scratched or more often destroyed.

Scizza solves all of these problems by brilliantly combining a precision-ground set of hardened German stainless steel blades with an inventive non-stick safe spatula base. While designed for pizza, because of its ingenious high pivot point and spatula, Scizza's simply clever and funky design also performs wonderfully on quiches, pastries, and is a brilliant pair of household scissors for wrapping paper, craft and fabric.

Pan Handler

Pan Handler stainless steel cookware is manufactured from 18/10 stainless steel 0.8mm thick and all pots and pans are manufactured with an induction capsule base 4.5mm thick. This makes them some of the sturdiest and most reliable cookware available, which is why all Pan Handler stainless steel cookware carries a 25 year guarantee.

All handles and pot grips are cast stainless steel which is then sandblasted. This finish makes cleaning easier and avoids unsightly fingerprinting from grease and oil.

We stock an extensive range of Pan Handler Cookware including frying pans, stockpots, saucepans, steamers & food mills.
