Heading off to university, or watching a loved one vanish into the student wilds of halls, where the parental fear is that dinner is a Pot Noodle eaten with a biro? This set is the difference between "what's the number for Deliveroo" and "I can actually cook a meal, yay!" This comprehensive 23-piece kitchen set transforms any student accommodation into a fully functional cooking space, designed specifically for first-time independent living, with everything needed to go from ready meals to proper home cooking. Choose the Single set for one person, or the Double set, which adds extra crockery and cutlery for sharing a kitchen or entertaining flatmates.
Features:
Essential cookware: The Kuhn Rikon Classic 3 Piece Cookware Set (an 18/10 stainless steel saucepan and casserole with glass lids, plus a non-stick frying pan) tackles everything from pasta to a fry-up, the Tala Performance non-stick 35cm baking tray handles oven bakes and roasted vegetables, and the Dexam 3.5L stainless steel mixing bowl covers everything from batter to salads.
Coordinated dining set: The Mikasa Chalk white porcelain collection (cereal bowl, dinner plate and mug) gives a stylish, neutral place setting that works for breakfast through to dinner, paired with Grunwerg Windsor stainless steel cutlery (tea spoon, dessert spoon, table fork and table knife) for a genuinely complete table setting.
Smart kitchen tools: A Joseph Joseph Pivot 3-in-1 can opener, an OXO Good Grips Y-peeler, a Zyliss wheatstraw slotted turner and serving spoon, a Chef Aid beech wood spoon, and Chef Aid black nylon tongs cover daily cooking tasks, while the Chef Aid chopping board and pine knife block set add everyday kitchen organisation.
University-ready extras: A Lock & Lock 800ml container keeps leftovers fresh, a Dexam Sintra recycled cotton waffle tea towel and a CKS dish brush with detergent dispenser handle everyday cleaning, a WM Bartleet & Sons porcelain salt and pepper set covers seasoning, and a KitchenCraft pack of 20 bag clips keeps snacks and store cupboard bags sealed.
Single or Double: The Double set includes two of each Mikasa Chalk piece and two of each Grunwerg Windsor cutlery piece, for a proper two-person table setting. Every other item stays at one per set, since it's built for shared cooking and storage rather than shared eating.

Care:
Dishwasher safe pieces: Most of the bundle, including the Kuhn Rikon saucepan and casserole, Mikasa Chalk tableware, Grunwerg Windsor cutlery, mixing bowl, peeler, Zyliss utensils, tongs, dish brush, bag clips, chopping board and storage container, can go straight in the dishwasher.
Handwash recommended: The Kuhn Rikon frying pan, Tala baking tray, and beech wood spoon will last longer with handwashing rather than regular dishwasher use, to protect their non-stick coatings and the wood.
Knife block & knives: To clean the knife block, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water as the wood will split. Knives should always be hand washed as dishwashers can chip and blunt knives easily.
Tea towel: Machine washable.
Questions and Answers:

Every other item in the bundle, including all the cookware, tools and storage pieces, stays at one per set regardless of which you choose.

A: Yes, especially the Double set, since the extra tableware and cutlery are specifically there for sharing a kitchen or having a flatmate round.
Q: Do I need anything else to start cooking?
A: This set is designed to cover everything needed to go from ready meals to proper home cooking, from cookware and tools through to tableware and storage.
