Refined, yet hand made this traditional terracotta is perhaps one of the great secrets of French cooking and one of Digoin who have made it in Burgundy since 1875. Every part of Digoin's process evokes dedication: From the high-grade clay that give the pottery its exceptional, long life to the hand-dipping into the rich, dark glaze that endows each piece with a unique and beautiful design. The range comprises of rectangular, oval and round dishes awell as casseroles. They are oven safe and can be used on gas flame and other cookers with a diffuser. www.ictc.co.uk

PYREX GLASSWARE. Pyrex is one of the most recognised brands in the world. Pyrex was invented in 1915 and is made of borosilicate glass, sand and boron which is heated to very high temperatures and melted to form glass. The borosilicate glass means it is suitable for all types of cooking both slow and fast and is highly resistant to extreme temperatures, thermal shocks and scratches. We keep a comprehensive range of jugs, casseroles, dishes and bowls. www.pyrex.com
PYROFLAM. Pyroflam is made by Pyrex and looks like white glass or chine. It is made from Vitro-Ceramic, a unique material that is so heat resistant and durable that it was used by NASA in the design of the space shuttle. As a result it is almost unique in that it can go from very cold to very hot temperatures (ie freezer to oven) and visa versa without breaking*. It can be used as a casserole or on the oven, electric and halogen hobs and under the grill. It is ideal for being used to prepare on the hob top and then being put in the oven, so you can only have to use the one pot. It is the most versatile cookware you can buy.
*It is guarenteed to keep its shape fom -40°c to +800°c for 25 years. www.pyrex.com
