How to choose: Kitchen & Dining

Kitchen buying comes down to material, size and how you cook. A pan that suits one stove can disappoint on another.

• Check the cookware material and whether it works on your stove type, especially induction.
• Look for the oven-safe temperature on bakeware and pans before using them in the oven.
• Count place settings when buying dinnerware, and check whether pieces are dishwasher safe.
• For small appliances, compare wattage and capacity with how many people you cook for.

Common questions

Is it dishwasher safe?

Only if the product title or description says so; otherwise hand wash.

Will this work on an induction stove?

Only if the listing states induction compatible.
