Weekly Deals

Weekly Deals - Get Top Brands At A Great Price
Twice a week we run a weekly deals campaign, which starts on Tuesday ends Friday then Friday to Tuesday.  We select up to 9 products to feature on our site at a very good price for a limited amount of time.  The most popular brand to feature has been the Maxwell & Williams range.  Whenever anything from this range features it sells out very quickly.  No surprising as the Maxwell & Williams range is now fast becoming a recognized world brand.  Originally started in Australia it quickly spread to NZ where it has become a household brand name.  Now sold the world over particularly in the USA and the UK where it has exploded in popularity, the cause for this is the fact that they cater for everyone's different taste, budget and style.  The two most popular ranges from Maxwell & Williams is the White Basics which is perfect for every day use dinner and tableware and the Cashmere Fine Bone China range where it's more popular for the dinner party or weddings where you want to impress your guests.  With other beautiful ranges to compliment these two from Cashmere Enchante, Sprinkle, Crinkle, Kimono, Casa Domani, Chef Du Monde and Krosno glassware.

Another popular brand to feature on our weekly deals is the Scanpan range.  Designed in Denmark, Scanpan is possibly the worlds most popular cookware and kitchenware range.  Sold in nearly every country, they range from cookware to kitchen utensils and kitchen knives.  The Scanpan classic range is their biggest seller especially the cookware where the non stick cookware is coated in Ceramic Titanium and is virtually scratch proof against metal utensils.  The Scanpan Classic Knives are all quality tested using the Rockwell Hardness Test Method, where a Diamond Indenter is slowly pressed onto the knife at a huge force to check the quality of the blade which leaves a tiny pin hole mark on each blade to show it passed the test.  Their other top ranges within Scanpan where the quality of the products are just getting better and better, CSX, CTX, Coppernox, Impact and Copperclad CS5 cookware.  You will find Scanpan products nearly everywhere you go which just goes to show how much of a trusted brand they are the world over.

Le Creuset

Home Favourites - Le Creuset
We have all seen Le Creuset cookware somewhere, like movies, TV shows, adverts, friends house or your own families.  Le Creuset is a French Cookware Company that stills manufactures cast iron cookware in France ever since the company was founded.  It's so reliable that we have people coming in to our stores telling us they still use their grandmothers pan which has  been handed down through the generations.  Fun, colourful and very durable you can't really go wrong when you purchase one of these pots, like most of our Le Creuset customers, we find they come back for more and add to their growing collection of Le Creuset cookware.

This week we finally got our long awaited collections of Le Creuset back into our store where we carry one of NZ biggest collections from the TNS Bakeware to the Le Creuset Utensils and crockery.  Now expanding into Stainless Steel & Cast Aluminium, Le Creuset has nearly all the tools you need for your kitchen.  It was just this week that we saw a Le Creuset mad customer who showed us pictures of their kitchen, where every pot and kitchen utensil of theirs is Le Creuset!  Now that's dedication to a brand, but we must say it made their kitchen look absolutely alive!

Still the most popular in the range is the Cast Iron Pot.  Great for casseroles and slow cooking but also very good for storing any food you want keeping cold in the fridge, like pasta salads or deserts.  Because it's Cast Iron, it makes it a poor heat conductor which is why it's used for slow cooking.  Just leave it on your element on a low temp, cover with the lid and leave it to cook while you go off and do your own thing.  There is something very homely to coming home to a casserole slow cooked in a cast iron pot, you lift the lid, serve the food, cut some fresh bread and it just smells heavenly.  For some of us, it takes us instantly back to our days as a kid.
