At MAKO, we believe that if you obsess over every detail, you can make something better than it’s ever been made before. 

Our Genius range was born out of the frustration with what most people had to cook with: cheap, single-ply pans that lacked performance and quality (3-ply if you were lucky). So, we made a range of cookware for people who want the best.

What makes 5-Ply construction so special?

5-ply construction refers to cookware made with five layers of premium materials, each chosen for its unique properties to enhance cooking performance. This multi-layer design delivers the perfect balance of heat control, durability, and performance, making it ideal for serious home cooks and professionals alike.

What makes Genius Copper™️ 5-Ply even better?

  • Stainless steel clad exterior: The brushed stainless steel exterior doesn’t just look beautiful; it provides unbeatable durability and resists corrosion, scratches, and stains. Plus, it’s compatible with all cooktops, including induction, and offers a non-reactive surface that is perfectly neutral no matter what you’re cooking.
  • Aluminium layers: Adds lightweight strength and enhances heat distribution.
  • And importantly, a core of pure Genius Copper™️: Renowned for its exceptional heat conductivity, the Genius Copper core ensures rapid, even heating across the entire cooking surface.

No Compromises. Just the Best.

We didn’t cut corners. We didn’t settle. Every detail has been meticulously thought out. The MAKO Genius Copper™️ 5-Ply is designed for those who want the best.

How is this cookware different?

  • 5-Ply Genius Copper™ technology
  • Oven safe to 260°C
  • ⁠Dishwasher safe
  • ⁠Suitable for all cooktops, and doesn’t just ‘work’ on induction but excels on it

Lifetime warranty on all Stainless Steel pans. Glass lids come with a 12 month manufacturer's warranty.

Designed in our Melbourne studio.

    Couldn’t be happier

    I have to say the Mako Genius Essential Pan with lid has changed my cooking time considerably . I have had my full flex Vzug induction cook top for a few years and this pan has been a game changer. Although my older pans were compatible they didn’t perform like this pan has. Faster cooking time, perfect size for cooking sauces and stews for upto 10 big eaters, great lid style and looks fabulous on my stove top. I’ve purchased a number of items from Cook Dine Host and they have all lived upto and/or exceeded my expectations.

    What a pan!

    This has become one of my favourite pieces to cook with. I have traded in my Dutch oven for one of these pans, it is now one of my most used pieces. This pan is the perfect size and depth to cook a pasta dish or curry, and anything low and slow on the stove. Such a great quality product.
