When you think of Ikea, timeless classic furniture that we have all had at home at least once immediately comes to mind. It is obvious, due to its functional and modern designs, and the ease of its flat, easy-to-put-together furniture that anyone can assemble with the simplest tools in the world.
But the truth is that Ikea’s cookware lines also requires all the attention, although little is said about it. Therefore, we are going to do justice to several pieces that we have tried and that have earned a special mention. I’ll give you a quick look at four Ikea cookware products, ranging from the cheapest to the most professional.
Ikea Vardagen Pot With Lid, Enamelled Cast Iron Matte/Black, 6.9 Qt
We are right at the time of year when the body begins to ask for comfort food. Stews, stews, broths, soups and other fall must-eats are best prepared in a cast iron pot due to this material’s ability to absorb, maintain and distribute heat.
The Vardagen Pot with lid has a generous size that makes it perfect for cooking large portions, and its material retains heat like no other. The price is $79.99, and Ikea offers a 15-year warranty on this product, made of a metal so strong it looks like it would survive an earthquake. What’s more, it can be used as a “Dutch oven” because a sourdough bread roll fits perfectly without any problem.
Vardagen Frying pan, cast iron, 13″
Part of the same collection is this 13-inch cast iron skillet, with a good size for cooking large portions and heat-resistant material. Being made of the same material as the pot I just mentioned, it offers the same advantages: it absorbs a lot of heat and maintains it for a long time, distributing it evenly over its entire surface.
This is great for cooking food evenly and allowing heat to penetrate to the very center of the meats and vegetables. The price is $34.99. Both the pot with lid and the frying pan are compatible with all types of cooking surfaces, including induction.
Ikea 365+ Frying Pan, Stainless Steel, 11”
The Ikea 365+ line is one of the brand’s most economical, offering mid- and low-range products at good prices, but don’t be fooled, because even the cheapest Ikea products are superior to the majority that you will find on pages like Amazon or Ebay. The IKEA 365+ Frying pan, made of stainless steel, is a good option for daily use due to its highly functional design. It is durable, resistant, and easy to clean, and also has a thick base that distributes heat evenly. The price is $24.99.
The IKEA 365+ line also has pieces such as baking dishes, airtight glass containers, dinnerware sets, pots, flatware and much more. Take a look because their prices are very good and, being from Ikea, they guarantee the quality that this represents.
Time to Bake: Följsam Baking Dish, Clear Glass
We can’t say that this is a “Pyrex”, because it is a brand, but we already know what material we are referring to. We are going to call it the “baking dish”, which is the actual name of the Ikea’s FÖLJSAM. The tempered glass allows you to see the cooking status of the food, which is ideal for lasagna, brownies, or gratins. Its priced at
It is resistant to conventional ovens and microwaves, and is also safe to place in the dishwasher. Other Ikea baking dishes you can consider are the square MIXTUR, 11×7”, priced at $5.99, or the new ceramic POETISK, which is priced at $15.99 and measures 13×8”.
