As the colder days draw near, besides switching to seasonal ingredients, now is also the time to swap your kitchen accessories for something a little more winter friendly. Luckily, if your current culinary gadgets need a bit of a revamp, Kitchen Passion has a list of their top 10 kitchen accessories you won’t be able to say no to…
When it comes to French classics, we can’t get enough of Staub’s round and oval Cocottes. They are a must-have for hearty family fare, such as stews, roasts, soups and casseroles. Best of all, one pot cooking doesn’t get easier than this, as you can move the dishes – all in gorgeous colours − straight from oven to table. For the little people in your life (or a chic alternative at your next dinner party), Staub’s mini Cocottes are ideal for individual portions – for everything from pies to puddings and more. With these Cocottes, even everyday meals are turned into special occasions.
Winter just wouldn’t be the same without homemade soups and the Swiss precision in Swiss Diamond’s Soup and Stock Pots is visible in every aspect of their cookware. The heavy-duty cast aluminum body will never warp, plus offers a consistent heat for slow cooking with less stirring. The tempered glass lids have an adjustable steam vent, while the comfortable ergonomic handles stay cool on the stovetop. Once you’re happy with the flavour, Zwilling’s Twin Pure Soup Ladle is the only way to serve soup this winter. It’s both innovative and highly functional, plus space saving, thanks to its integrated hanging loop, which fits all racks.
For a bit of retro cool, you’ll love Staub’s Fondue Set when you’re entertaining. You can do a cheese or meat fondue and the cast iron exterior means that you can use it on both the hob and in the oven, as well as the burner provided. The heat retention is excellent, even on a low temperature and the enamel surface prevents cheese from sticking. Best of all, it has a lifetime guarantee. For an entirely different way to cook, Demeyere’s Pressure Cooker is easy and economic, plus silent and perfectly safe, as it cannot accidently be opened. Although it reduces cooking times by up to 70%, all of the flavour and nutrition is retained in whatever you choose to cook.
There’s no higher honour than an endorsement from Gordon Ramsay and Swiss Bamix Blenders from Switzerland are renowned as some of the finest in the world. Food preparation with this hand held blender is fast and easy, but is especially useful when making soups. To escape the winter chill, there’s nothing like an exotic Moroccan dish with heady spices. Staub’s Tagine Pot combines function and style to create a hardworking, reliable tool that also doubles as a serving dish. As it’s crafted with an 11-inch enameled cast-iron base and ceramic lid, it’s ideal for cooking on low temperatures, to really let flavours intensify, yet keeping ingredients scrumptiously moist and delicious.
Opting for a tea party instead of a dinner party? Serving tea and coffee just got a whole lot more stylish with Stelton’s Vaccum Jugs. The one litre jug combines practicality with good looks and makes a bold statement thanks to its funky, retro colours. It’s the perfect gift for stylish coffee connoisseurs, but we promise, you won’t want to give this one away. To satisfy your sweet cravings, try a homemade waffle using KitchenAid’s Waffle Baker. Thanks to the upper and lower waffle plates, in less than five minutes, you’ll have two more-ish, golden brown, Belgian waffles. Simply wipe the non-stick plates clean, then enjoy your indulgent treat.
