Any home kitchen needs to be stocked up with the right amount of cookware to make recipes simpler to make. There are so many different pieces of cookware available that knowing which ones to start with can be hard.

One item that many home cooks will find they need is a great saucepan. The 28cm Berndes Removable Handle Saute Pan from Head Cook and Bottlewasher, priced at £71.20, is just one option. It is made from black cast aluminium and allows the heat to be distributed evenly, meaning food is cooked well.

Another essential item of cookware is a cake tin, which is crucial for anyone hoping to try their hand at baking. The six-inch Mermaid Round Cake Tin from Head Cook and Bottlewasher is ideal and is available for £15.19. Its manufacturers claim that the surface of this piece of cookware will not peel over time, making it a long-term fixture in any home kitchen.
