Years ago, when I moved out of my parents' place, I took half of their dated cookware and have been using it ever since, so it's no exaggeration when I say the new non-stick, non-toxic Cookware Set from Kilne revolutionized mealtime in my house. I had always thought, "If it's not broken, why fix it?" But my worn out cookware had a much larger impact on my cooking than I realized. The Kilne Cookware Set completely changed my kitchen experience.
The Kilne Cookware Set: What is it?
The Cookware Set is a complete kitchen upgrade. Not only does the matching set of pots and pans look gorgeous (and come in a range of colours), but it also includes every tool I could possibly need for everyday cooking — and a full storage solution.
In with the set, the Kilne Everything Pan and Everything Pot are powerhouse pieces that do all the work cooking main courses and larger meals for a group. A dual-purpose tool for steaming or straining, The Non-Stick Steamer fits perfectly inside the Everything Pot. The smaller Everything Mini Pan and Everything Mini Pot are perfect for side dishes, sauces or when cooking for just one or two. While Kilne is a Canadian company, their high-quality cookware is made in Italy, without the use of harmful chemicals and toxins.
Heat and water resistant, the beautiful Acacia wood utensils that come with the set feel durable, strong and lightweight. They're eco-friendly, non-toxic, naturally antibacterial and resistant to fungus. Made of the same solid Acacia wood, the trivets have a slotted design that helps release heat.
One of the best features of this set are the storage solutions. Instead of rattling around in a drawer or cupboard, the Everything Pot, Pan and Minis slide into a magnetic wood storage system that holds them firmly in place. A hanging lid holder looks lovely with the set, but can also live inside the door of a cupboard or closet.
The Kilne Cookware Set: Using it
I always thought I lacked the skill to elegantly flip food in the pan, but my tools had been holding me back. With their patented, non-stick technology, Kilne’s Everything Pot, Everything Pan and Minis are smoother than a pickup artist. Watching vegetables and meat glide across the surface with a slight flick of the wrist is a truly swoon-worthy experience. When it comes time for the big flip, it's as easy as butter. Egg yolks remain intact, chicken retains its crispy skin and flaky fish doesn't fall apart in the pan. The silky ceramic texture requires a lot less oil or butter when cooking, and it's much easier to clean (goodbye, endless scrubbing — you won't be missed!).
Waiting around for my old pans to heat up and trying to find the hottest spot used to be a regular part of cooking, but Kilne's Everything Pan and Everything Pot heat incredibly evenly. I'm able to cook things at a much lower temperature, and they heat up much faster. With more control over my cooking and more even heat distribution, all of my meals turn out better than before.
The simplicity of getting the pots, pans and lids in and out of the storage system just adds to the joy of using this set. And the beautiful Acacia wood accessories complete the elegant, clean look of the cookware set when I'm serving guests.
The Kilne Cookware Set: The verdict
Kilne offers a three-year warranty and a 100-day home trial to test out the quality first-hand, but I fell in love after cooking just one meal with Kilne's new Cookware Set. I used to dread dinnertime, but using well-organized, beautiful cookware made with quality craftsmanship and without any harmful chemicals or heavy metals has made all the difference. Kilne's new Cookware Set makes mealtime a breeze. I would buy it again for myself or anyone else who's in need of a kitchen upgrade.
