Hints and Tips

It’s not easy to provide general advice on such a vast subject, but here goes…
  • It's obvious really, but your choice of utensils is often dictated by your pans. Any utensils that will be used on non-stick pans need to be wooden, silicone or plastic. Beware of plastic utensils with temperature ratings below 230°C.
  • The versatility of white oven-to-tableware is often overlooked. Elegant pieces like eared dishes are equally at home with a cannelloni, side salad or slice of terrine. Whiteware focuses attention on the food.
  • Choosing gadgets (peelers, tin openers, etc.) can be difficult when there are so many options. The best advice is to buy items that are solidly-built and do one thing well (rather than six things badly!).
