Best ProCook Cookware 2026: The 6 We'd Buy

This is the set we would send most readers to first. You get 14, 16 and 18cm saucepans, a 20cm stockpot, a 24cm shallow casserole and a 24cm frying pan, all in 18/10 stainless steel on a 7mm bonded base, with glass lids. The whole range works on every hob including induction, goes in the oven to 260C and in the dishwasher, and carries ProCook’s 25-year guarantee. Bought separately the pieces cost £295.

The weaknesses are the ones uncoated steel always has. ProCook’s own footnote says the CoolTouch handles get hot in the oven or over a big gas flame, and the care notes ask for more oil than non-stick needs. The few low ratings on the product page come from buyers who found food sticking and the steel staining. Preheat the pan before the oil goes in and most of that goes away.

If you are not sure you will get on with uncoated steel, spend £35 finding out rather than £250. This 24cm pan is 18/10 stainless steel with riveted silicone stay-cool handles, works on induction, gas, electric and ceramic hobs, and is oven safe to 260C and dishwasher safe. It weighs a little over a kilo, which makes it easy to toss.

Two things separate it from the Professional range above. The guarantee is 10 years rather than 25, and it is not listed for solid-fuel hobs. The complaints are the usual steel ones, put more bluntly: one buyer wrote that everything sticks no matter what, another that ingredients stick, and a recent reviewer burned it on a gas hob. Preheat it, use enough oil and keep the flame inside the base.

ProCook’s casseroles do the job of the famous French ones, and the 24cm round is the size we would choose: 4.7 litres, enamelled inside and out, with a self-basting lid. It works on every hob including induction and solid fuel, goes in the oven to 260C and, like the steel pans, carries 25 years of guarantee. The sage green also comes in cream, and the range runs to burgundy, ice blue, thyme green and a graduated red.

Its weakness is printed in the specification: it weighs 5.2kg before you put anything in it, and the dishwasher is not recommended. The reviews we read for this pot were uniformly happy; the one complaint in the wider casserole range came from a buyer surprised that the enamel is not non-stick. It is not, so brown in oil and soak rather than scrub.

Trustpilot reviewers keep praising ProCook’s shop staff for their advice, and a knife block is where that help is most useful. You get a 9cm paring knife, a 12.5cm utility knife, a 15.5cm chef’s knife and 25cm bread and carving knives in a small American oak block. The blades are X50CrMoV15, the workhorse German steel, with triple-rivet handles and a 25-year guarantee on the knives.

Read the numbers before you buy. The page gives the hardness as 55±2 HRC, which means a tough blade that is easy to sharpen but needs honing more often than harder Japanese steel. The chef’s knife is 15.5cm, short for anyone used to a 20cm blade. None of it is dishwasher safe, and knife orders need age verification before they ship. One recent Trustpilot reviewer’s knife block arrived damaged.

Elite Tri-Ply is a step up from the Professional range: an aluminium core sandwiched in 18/10 steel all the way up the sides, 3mm thick, with handles welded on rather than riveted, so there is nothing inside the pan to trap food. The set gives you 22, 26 and 30cm pans; the larger ones have a helper handle. All hobs, oven to 260C, dishwasher safe, 25-year guarantee. Bought separately the three cost £210.

The reviews are mostly glowing, with one reviewer rating them above Zwilling. The criticisms are specific. Two buyers found food sticks and the pans hard to clean, one called them heavy, and another found that standard ProCook lids are about 2mm out, so even a 20cm lid will not fit. No lids come in the set.

ProCook’s tableware is a smaller side of the shop, and the Oslo set is the one we would start with. You get four each of 28cm dinner plates, 22cm side plates, pasta bowls and cereal bowls in an oatmeal reactive glaze, dishwasher and microwave safe and oven safe to 120C, which is plate-warming rather than cooking. The ‘typical price’ printed beside the £99 is £279, a gap worth treating with scepticism.

Owners like the look and the weight. The lower ratings describe the reactive glaze doing exactly what the page warns, but more than they wanted: glaze colour varying between batches, and bowls that came noticeably misshapen. Two found the rimmed plates a tight fit in their dishwasher or draining rack. The guarantee is one year.
