KITCHENC

Cooking perfect rice on the hob is tricky. More often than not, you end up with a sticky porridge, rather than the light, fluffy grains that seem to come naturally to restaurants. You could opt for an electric rice cooker instead. But that means dragging it out of the cupboard, and straining your brain cells trying to get the thing to work. The KitchenCraft microwave rice cooker offers the best of both worlds. This simple, lightweight gadget makes perfect rice every time, and all you need is a microwave. Simply add rice, water or stock, then place the rice cooker it in the microwave and leave to cook. In as little as 13 minutes, you will have delicious fluffy rice ready to serve and enjoy.

Every kitchen needs a good set of tea towels. From drying the dishes after dinner, to covering up leftovers as they cool after mealtimes, to wiping down wet worktops – you'd be totally lost without a set of all-rounders like KitchenCraft's cotton waffle-weave tea towels! In this pack you get three large waffle-woven tea towels that are perfect for everyday use in your kitchen. Each one is woven from 100% cotton and features a superior thread count compared to standard kitchen towels. This makes them more absorbent as you sop up spills or dry the dishes. It also means they're more durable. You can rely on these soft waffle tea towels time and time again. There's no need to worry about them getting grubby. Simply pop them in your washing machine on a slow spin cycle at 40°C (104°F) to bring them back to their best. With their colourful designs, they’re sure to brighten up your kitchen, too!

Combine the two and you’ll soon be tucking into delicious dinners of quiche and veggies, lamb chops and seasoned roast potatoes or classic chicken and chips. Yum!

Bring the char and charm of the grill house to your own home with this round cast iron grill pan. Suitable for use in any type of oven (except microwaves) and on any hob – including induction – this heavy-duty pan is a must for any kitchen. Why cook with cast iron? This super-sturdy metal gets blazingly hot! Lay your meat or veg in the pan, and the hot ribbed base will leave a stripy seared look for a restaurant-style finish. Perfect for searing steaks, frying fish and chargrilling chicken and vegetables, the ribbed base also works to lift meat away from any juices and oils adding a healthier touch to your meal. By seasoning the pan and then pre-heating it each time it is used, you’ll create a natural non-stick surface so you can cook your favourite foods fast, without having to add any extra oil. Steak night never looked and tasted so good!

Roast dinners are special. Juicy meat, crispy potatoes, crunchy vegetables, and silken gravy, brimming with flavour. Make a meal to remember with a pan that’s tailored to the size of your joint or poultry. Grab this bijou stainless steel roasting pan when you’re cooking for two – or even for yourself. (Single people deserve tasty roast dinners too!) This little stainless steel roasting tin is perfect for small briskets and poultry, and for rolled sirloins or pork joints. Anything that’d look swamped in a larger tin. Why this tin? It comes with a roasting rack, which lets juices and oil pool below the meat, for extra-succulent results. Healthy eating bonus: the rack keeps the meat separate from any oils that drip out, so you’ll cut down the calories. For an extra indulgence, turn these juices into delicious gravy on the hob. The pan is made of solid, lightweight stainless steel, which works on any heat source, except induction.

Sometimes hauling out a saucepan to heat up some soup for lunch, or rustle up some broccoli and peas to go with your evening meal can seem like a lot of effort.

This ingenious plastic pan is specially designed for microwave cooking, with a vented lid for fast, even heating, and a handle for easy removal. Best of all, the plastic is non-stick, so washing up is faster than ever (or you could just pop it in the dishwasher!).

Sometimes, all you want to do when you get home is reach into the fridge, grab a cold one and chill out with a movie.

It’s also great for general fridge organisation, when that vegetable drawer at the bottom just isn’t enough, or for keeping some cans neat and tidy in your food cupboard.
