SKK Premium Plus Cookware, made in Germany, combines pleasing designs, heavy aluminium castings for even heating, durable scratch-resistant bodies, easy-clean non-stick titanium surfaces, removable handles for convenient storage, heat-resistant oven-proof glass lids, and thermocore bases ideal for gas and electric hobs.

SKK Premium Plus Cookware consistently wins top awards from culinary experts, newspapers, magazines, and television chefs. The range includes casserole dishes, fish pans, frying pans, deep frying pans, milk pans, roasters, saucepans, saute pans, and stew pots.

The Independent newspaper called them the best-ever range of non-stick pans and, if you like celebrity endorsements, they're used and recommended by Delia Smith.

The SKK Premium Plus pots and pans, listed in the table, all include a one-click removable handle and, except for the milk saucepan with pouring lips, a heat-resistant oven-proof glass lid. The interchangeable handles and glass lids are safe up to 260°C.

It's not practical to share one lid between two pans as it limits your cooking options. Some foods cook better with lids and, generally, lids keep the cooking area cleaner.

The removable handle makes the pots and pans easier to store on shelves or in cupboards, and quicker to load into a dishwasher. When cooking, if you temporarily take the handle off, there's less chance of a child reaching up and causing an accident.

The thick thermocore bases stop the bodies distorting, and help food to cook evenly without burning and sticking. Pots and pans for induction hobs look similar but need a slightly different base, so mail or call if you would like to order these.

The SKK Premium Plus range has a new ultra-hard, anti-corrosion, ceramic plasma primer layer, a thick, four-layer, non stick coating for increased durability, and stainless-steel edged glass lids which won't get chipped during washing up. The SKK Premium range has been discontinued, although stock will be available for some time.

Before using your new pot or pan, wash it in hot water. Heat a little cooking oil, pour it out, and wipe clean with kitchen tissue.

Although the titanium surface is forty times harder than steel, I always use plastic or wooden utensils. You can use metal, with care, but inevitably, after frequent use, you'll make small scuff marks on the surface: these won't affect the non-stick.

Always clean your pots and pans soon after use to avoid a very thin build up of fats and oils which may affect the flavour of subsequent cooking. Cooking residue should wash off easily, using a sink brush, nylon brush, or soft pad.

Washing in a dish washer isn't recommended as salts might eventually corrode the aluminium. In any event, saucepans and frying pans take up a lot of machine space.

The thermocore base is guaranteed for life to remain stable during normal use, and the non-stick surface is guaranteed for five years.
