Best Cookware in Singapore

1. Cosmic Cookware 

Perfect starting cookware set for the modern-day cook

Prepare dishes that taste out of this world with Cosmic Cookware. We mean this in every good way possible as this 5-piece cookware set (3 cookware + 2 glass lids) contains all the essentials fit for a modern-day cook. Cosmic Cookware aims to help people look forward to spending more time in the kitchen, so that cooking will not feel like a chore anymore. 

So if you are just starting out to become a full-blown home cook, this set from Cosmic is probably one of the best things to start with. 

There is a Cosmo Pan for all your sautéing, stir-frying, simmering, and boiling needs. The pan even comes with much higher sides to avoid oil and water splatter, which we all know is the biggest enemy of beginner home cooks. Meanwhile, the Cosmo Fry is perfect for frying, browning, and searing. Good news for you: it is not that heavy. So, feel free to toss and flip your eggs, fried rice, and more like a pro! For low-heat and slow cooking, the cookware set also includes a Cosmo Casserole, which is great for stewing, boiling, and baking (yes, Cosmic Cookware is oven-friendly!).  Moreover, they are suitable for use on induction, gas, and electric stoves. We truly love their versatility! 

Best for carefree cooking and cleaning 

What’s also great about Cosmic Cookware is that every cookware is non-stick. This will not just help your cooking and cleaning to be truly hassle-free as Cosmic’s certified Swiss-certified and 100% chemical-free non-porous surface also keeps your food safe from harmful chemicals. With this, you can cook with less oil and spend less time cleaning up, making Cosmic Cookware ideal for busy households. 

Stylish and modern

To top it all off, Cosmic Cookware looks celestially amazing. Every piece is far from boring, so you can cook dishes that taste good in a pan that looks good as well. Avail the Cosmic Cookware in aesthetically-pleasing colours: Cream, Navy, and Green Bean. Really perfect for your modern kitchen! 

Why buy this:

• Includes Cosmic Pan, Cosmic Fry, Cosmic Casserole, and 2 glass lids
• Ideal for versatile and healthy cooking 
• Swiss-certified non-stick ceramic coating
• Oven-safe up to 230°C (Exluding the lid)
• Suitable for use on induction, gas, and electric stoves
• Available in stylish colours

2. Tefal Day by Day Set

Instead of shopping for one item at a time, wouldn’t it be nice to find a set of high-quality cookware with uniformed properties and features? Definitely! So, it’s fantastic that we’ve found Tefal Day by Day Set. This high-quality cookware includes 8 pieces of highly non-stick fry pan, saucepan, stew pot, wok pan, ladle and spatula. What’s great about this set is that the pans and pots aren’t only non-stick on the inside but on the exterior as well, making these extra robust and durable. Featuring a dishwasher safe capability, cleaning the whole set is hassle-free. On top of that, it’s compatible with all hobs and induction. A bit of caution though: They’re not oven safe. So, if you need to finish off a dish in the oven, you need to transfer it to an oven safe pan.

3. Unlimited Grill Pan by Tefal

Speaking of oven safe pans, Tefal won’t let us down. If I may place my two cents, I think that Tefal’s Unlimited Grill Pan would be a useful addition to your Day by Day Set. You might do without it but it’s hard to resist its oven compatibility feature of up to 175 degrees Celsius. With this grill pan, you can whip up perfectly browned steaks with beautiful grill marks! If the meat needs some minutes in the oven after searing to achieve the perfect cook on it, as in the case with lamb, this is the pan that can get the job done.

The downside is that it’s not dishwasher safe. But it’s alright, since handwashing doesn’t take much time and effort because of its non-stick coating.

Another standout feature of this grill pan is its Thermo-Signal technology. It’s an indicator that gives a signal that the pan has already reached the optimal temperature. Think about it: perfect searing minus the guesswork. That’s indeed hard to pass up. What’s more, it’s compatible with all stovetops including induction, gas, electric, ceramic and halogen. We’re so excited to use this pan for our fancy steak night or for the most elevated grilled cheese we can whip up!

4. Neoflam Fika Signature 6-piece Bundle

I bet you would agree that this environment-friendly cookware isn’t only great for your culinary adventures but also as a décor on your kitchen’s open shelving. The off-white sand colour finishing has a luxe feel to it, making the whole set effortlessly Instagram-worthy. Flat-lay game strong? Absolutely!

But more than just its minimalistic and sophisticated look, the Neoflam Fika Signature 6-piece Bundle is equipped with premium features you’d hope for in a cookware. It has an enhanced non-stick feature for easy cooking and washing. The body is made of aluminium which enables fast and even heat distribution. It’s compatible with gas, ceramic, electric and induction cooktops, but not recommended for Bosch induction hob.

With proper use and care, this bundle can be your ultimate partner in the kitchen for years. Speaking of which, here’s a bit of precaution: Do not use metal kitchen utensils as these can damage the coating. Recommended utensils are wooden and silicone. But that’s actually an advantage, right? These materials are lightweight, so cooking is less tiring even when you spend hours in the kitchen.

5. Zebra Stainless Steel 3-piece Steaming Set (26 cm)

In Singapore, the local cuisine isn’t complete, in fact, lonely without dumplings. These bite-sized goodies are versatile. Munch on it when you crave for something meaty and savoury for your afternoon snack or feast on it with rice and soup for supper—it’s totally up to you. This is exactly the reason why you should have a steamer at home. Our pick? The Zebra Stainless Steel 3-piece Steaming Set. Made from high-quality stainless steel, it’s equipped with excellent anti-rust properties—it’s designed to last for years and serve you with countless dumplings as well as steamed crabs, shrimps, mussels—name all the seafood you love!

6. Tefal Toast N’ Egg

Who wouldn’t love hearty toasts in the morning? They’re quick and easy yet filling and perfect with your favourite espresso. But what makes toasts extra filling are sunny side up eggs, add some bacon, ham or sausage then top it all with melting cheese. For sure, you’ll be more than ready to seize the day. Wouldn’t it be nice though to make things more efficient, especially since we really need to hustle on weekday mornings? Tefal gives a clear, confident answer. That’s none other than this Toast N’ Egg cooker.

As you’ve probably guessed, this cooker allows you to make toasts and a sunny side up egg at the same time. Maybe hubby has to wait for his turn since you can only cook an individual meal at a time, but still, it’s quick, easy, and super-efficient! Better yet, buy another so you can both make your toasts in the morning! Oh, and let me add: this cooker has a meat warmer too. Full English breakfast, anyone?

7. HaptIQ 20cm Covered Dutch Oven

Cold rainy days call for hearty soups and stews. Seasoned cooks would agree that you cannot use just any pot for that. A Dutch oven is a must. That said, we recommend this HaptIQ Covered Dutch Oven that’s compatible with all heat sources. Featuring a fast heat distribution and optimum heat utilisation properties, you’ll be able to save energy and cook food faster.

It’s also designed with a drip-free rim, so you’ll be able to minimise the mess on your stovetop. Plus, the stainless-steel handles are made to stay cool longer—you don’t have to worry about forgetting those potholders. Also, since it’s made with non-stick coating, cleaning is guaranteed fuss-free.

8. Happycall Double Sided Pan

Don’t you hate it when the kitchen is covered with oil and grease everywhere after frying? That should not happen from now on with the Happycall Double Sided Pan.
