The 4-piece MAKO Cookware Set is meticulously crafted for precision cooking. This thoughtfully curated set comprises a 16cm saucepan, an 18cm saucepan, a 24cm stock pot and a 28cm essential pan, each equipped with its own matching lid to seal in flavours and nutrients.

The MAKO Master 20 Butcher's Block, crafted from premium acacia heartwood, is designed to last a lifetime and be the ultimate prep workhorse. A performance piece to leave on your benchtop, the wood surface protects knife blades from blunting. Plus, wood fibres have natural self-healing properties that with proper care, help the board last for years.

The MAKO Japanese Steel Knife Set is a collection of precision-crafted blades designed for every kitchen task. Featuring the versatility of an 8” Chef Knife, the finesse of a 7” Santoku, and the precision of a 5” Utility Knife, this set gives you the perfect tool for every cooking need. We’ve combined the sharpness of Japanese steel with the durability of German engineering, creating a set that’s built to redefine your kitchen experience.

The MAKO Sharpening System makes it easy. It’s designed for both sharpening and honing—two essential steps that most sharpeners overlook. Sharpening restores a dull edge, while honing realigns it, keeping the blade in top condition between sharpenings. Unlike other systems that only do one, MAKO does both, so your knives are always ready to perform at their best.

Resulting in durable and long-lasting cookware, crafted from the ultimate materials for convenience and precision cooking.

MAKO Black Steel Collection

Building your patina

One of the exceptional benefits of owning a MAKO Black Steel Pan is the natural patina that will gradually form over time on its surface. This patina surface enhances flavour, improves natural non-stick properties and elevates your cooking experience. With each use, your pan's patina will continue to develop.

Each time you use your pan, it is important to follow the cleaning and care instructions.

Cleaning

Always let your pan cool down before using cold water, otherwise warping may occur. Once your pan is cool, clean it with warm water and a gentle sponge or brush.

Use as little detergent as possible because it often contains acid that may damage your patina layer or cause rust. Never put your pan in the dishwasher. If your pan needs a little extra cleaning, pour in a small layer of water and bring it to the boil. Let the water cool down, then remove the residue with a brush or spatula. This doesn’t affect the patina layer, but it should lift away any stubborn food remains.

Aftercare

After cleaning, place your pan over medium heat until no moisture remains. Then add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and use some paper towel to wipe the oil over the interior surface of the pan while it’s hot (be careful!). This helps protect your pan and build a beautiful patina. Now store the pan in a dry space.

For best results, always cook with high smoke point oils such as vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil. Avoid low smoke point oils like olive oil as they can cause issues and affect the seasoning. Learn more about cooking oil smoke points here.

NOTE: Pay attention when cooking on induction, black steel heats very quickly. We recommend starting at a lower temperature and adjusting the heat higher or lower as necessary throughout cooking, this ensures even heat distribution.

MAKO Chopping Boards

Cleaning & Aftercare

Clean your board with warm, soapy water and dry with a soft towel. Avoid soaking it in water, and steer clear of the dishwasher. To keep your board in great condition, season occasionally with natural vegetable oil.

Caution

Do not place hot pots and pans on your cutting board or non-slip mat.
Do not use non-slip mats on lacquered surfaces.

MAKO Japanese Steel Knives

Cleaning

Clean your blade with a soft dishcloth, warm water and dish soap after each use. Avoid dishwashers, as high heat and harsh cleaners can damage handles and dull the blade.

Usage

Designed for slicing, chopping and dicing. Avoid using on bones or to cut through frozen foods as the fine edge may chip. Also, avoid twisting or forcing the blade to prevent damage.
