Five Minutes with ProWare - Beautiful Cookware Built to Last a Lifetime

The team and I first met ProWare at Spirit of Christmas, instantly falling in love with their cookware without compromise. With pans for every hob in gorgeous copper and stainless steel, to roasting dishes, and induction friendly collections, this is cookware to inspire your culinary creations.

A new set of pans is the finishing touch to any kitchen, especially one with an Emma Britton splashback. Intrigued to find out more about this beautiful, independent business?  We sat down with the ProWare team and asked them more about it…

What inspired the creation of your cookware brand, and what sets it apart from others in the market?  

We’re a family-run business in Sheffield with decades of kitchenware expertise. Frustrated by compromises in the market, we launched ProWare—a brand that lets us create cookware without cutting corners.

Our pride lies in crafting cookware that is beautiful, affordable, professional, and built to last a lifetime. We use premium materials and specialised techniques, ensuring our cookware stands the test of time in even the most demanding kitchens. The result is high-quality cookware that we are delighted to use in our own kitchens and proud to put our name to. 

What’s your favourite feature of your cookware?  

 The handle, without a doubt. Detailed collaboration with Sheffield-based designers and chefs resulted in our ergonomic, heat-dispersing, practical and stylish handle. Unlike other cookware companies that use aluminium rivets, we use stainless steel rivets to attach the handles, requiring significantly more force. The stainless steel rivets will never work loose so that wobbly handles will become a thing of the past. The ergonomic handle will help to reduce fatigue in use, enable the pans to stack smartly and take up less cupboard space—time well spent.  

 Tell us about the top chefs you work with…   

We’ve garnered a cult following among chefs like Paul Foster, Brad Carter, Paul Welburn and Luke French, and we regularly see our pans popping up in the Masterchef and Great British Menu kitchens! High praise from, and our collaborations with, top chefs are a source of pride for us. They speak volumes about the enduring quality of our cookware, trusted by Michelin-starred chefs for its resilience under extended use and abuse.  

 What is your favourite dish to cook at home?  

  Amidst crafting cookware for the pros, we still find joy in cooking at home. The dish we adore? That’s a tough call, but creating something special in our Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Roasting Pan is always rewarding (and delicious!).
