FAQs about Our Highest Rated Products

Which are the most durable products in your highest rated collection?

The most durable products in our highest rated collection are built to last from the ground up - quite literally, in some cases. The most durable products in our highest rated collection include cast iron pans, stainless steel cookware, and hardwood chopping boards. These are made from solid, long-wearing materials and often come with lifetime guarantees or repair options. Look for clues like thick steel, reinforced joints or pre-seasoned finishes. For our vetting process, see our research process page.

How do I properly season a cast iron pan?

To properly season a cast iron pan, wash and dry it thoroughly, then coat it lightly with neutral oil. Pop it in the oven upside down at 200°C for an hour (with a tray underneath), then let it cool inside. This builds a natural non-stick layer and guards against rust. Repeating the process occasionally keeps it in top nick. Seasoning might sound faffy, but it’s easy - and your pan will thank you. Need more help? Try our full seasoning guide.

What's the best way to clean a rusty cast iron frying pan?

The best way to clean a rusty cast iron frying pan is to give it a good scrub with steel wool or a stiff brush until smooth. Then wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season in the oven at 200°C with a thin coat of oil. This restores the pan’s protective layer and revives its cooking surface. Even if it’s looking a bit sad, cast iron can nearly always be brought back to life. For more help, head to our Care and Repair tips hub.

Can I use cast iron cookware on induction hobs?

Yes, cast iron cookware works brilliantly on induction hobs thanks to its magnetic base and excellent heat retention. Just don’t drag it across the glass surface - cast iron’s weight can scratch if you’re not careful. Many of our most durable options are tested for all hob types, so you can cook with confidence. Have a nose through our durable cookware collection for induction-friendly finds.

What’s the best way to care for long-lasting kitchenware?

The best way to care for long-lasting kitchenware is to clean gently, dry thoroughly, and do basic upkeep like oiling wood or seasoning cast iron. Stainless steel prefers handwashing, and most things last longer when stored with a bit of care. The real trick? Choose items made to be repairable. You can find help for every material in our Product Care & Repair resources.

Are these top-rated items ethically or sustainably made?

Yes, many of these top-rated items are ethically and sustainably made using materials like FSC-certified wood and recycled metals. We seek out products with repairable parts, long warranties, and responsible manufacturing processes. Some come with up to 25-year guarantees - so you know they’re not just built to last, but built with care.

What types of meals work best in a cast iron frying pan?

The types of meals that work best in a cast iron frying pan are ones that love steady, high heat. Think sizzling steak, roast veg, cornbread, frittatas or crispy-skinned fish. It’s perfect for searing on the hob or finishing off in the oven. Cast iron gives you that one-pan magic - less washing up, more flavour. Explore our cast iron collection if you're hungry for more.
