I agonised over this purchase. With so many cookware sets available on the market the choice can be overwhelming. I referenced my purchase in depth! A costly investment! Totally worth the expense. I am so happy with all aspects of this set and actually enjoying cooking again! Highly recommend!

Mako Kitchen Ware products are high quality
I’ve had a couple of purchases now, two frypans and the non-stick essential pan, then the saucepan set, now the knife set. They have all been of the highest quality. One thing I’m doing now is cooking Thai Green Chicken curry in the essential pan, rather than my normal wok, and my wife prepares food for our dog (no, he doesn’t get spoiled) in the small non-stick frypan. Used the 16cm saucepan yesterday for a reduction of a syrupy sauce for Thai fishcakes. Solid cookware and great knives.
