One thing we’ve all learnt during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the sustained lockdown that accompanied it here in SA, is that South Africans can cook! We love to eat, and with our access to prepared food more limited than before, more and more of us have turned to our own kitchens for not only sustenance but comfort and entertainment as well.

The kitchen has truly become the heart of the home again, and with a little more time on our hands working from home and spending less time on social interactions, cooking has turned into an experiment for many of us to explore new flavours and techniques. In saying that, it may have also raised your frustrations in the kitchen. Maybe your frying pan wobbles, your stockpot is never big enough and your heavy-bottomed pot sticks.

If you’ve experienced these, or similar, frustrations, now is the time to invest in your kitchen and in cookware you’ll never need to replace again! Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, AMC cookware means you purchase for life. With a focus on quality, service and customer care, their range of cookware covers all your needs.

From a small 1 L saucepan, all the way up to a 28 L stockpot, with features and benefits including waterless and fat-free cooking, savings on electricity and stove-to-oven use, all covered by a lifetime guarantee. Whether you’re taking your time to cook an elaborate meal for a family celebration, or a rushed 10-minute dinner, cook with cookware that serves its purpose, making cooking a pleasure and clean-up a breeze.

Pots are like friends! There’s nothing better than that one that you can rely on, which will you cook up something delicious in times of need. Here are our top picks of the pots and pans that no home chef should go without.

Wok

 If you are a fan of Asian-style cooking, having a beautiful wok in your kitchen is an absolute must. Classic woks have a rounded bottom with handles on either side. They are spectacular for whipping up something in a flash. It’s also incredibly versatile; use it for stir-frying, steaming, pan-frying, deep-frying, poaching, boiling, braising, searing, stewing and even soup-making!

Small frying pan

A good frying pan is an essential item for every self-respecting cook. Frying pans were originally made using cast iron although now they are made the more durable stainless steel or aluminium. Use a small frying pan to whip up the ultimate breakfast; fry a single egg, sauté onions and button mushrooms, and of course, cook up some bacon!

Large frying pan

 A well-made large frying pan will help you cook just about anything, from frittatas and tarte Tatins to one-pan meals like chicken curry or a healthy stir-fries. And if you know you are going to be using it (mostly) for foods like like to stick, we recommend a non-stick stainless steel option.

Griddle pan

 Calling all meat-lovers – this is the pan you shouldn’t go without. A griddle pan is best for cooking a beautiful juicy steak. It will give your cut of meat those mouth-watering griddle marks and maintain a high heat so you can cook your dinner to just the right temperature.

Small pot

Use one of these babies for sauces, be it a rich tomato and onion gravy, a hollandaise or some melting chocolate sauce.

Medium pot

A sturdy medium pot is just the right size to cook pasta, rice and veggies for the whole family without having too many leftovers.

Large pot

As for a large pot, whip up a crowd-sized batch of soup, stew or whatever tickles your fancy. Make it now and easily freeze the rest for a night you don’t feel like cooking.
