The Best Cookware Based on Your Cooking Style

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to cookware. Some people cook in bulk and freeze it all. Some prefer to throw things together last minute. Others want pans that work just as well on a firepit as they do on a gas stove.

So instead of buying the biggest set or the trendiest colour, it makes way more sense to build your kitchen around how you actually like to cook. Here’s how to find the right cookware based on your cooking style.

If You Cook for a Crowd or Batch Meals in Advance…

Go for larger, versatile pieces that can handle volume without taking up your entire stovetop. Think big-batch curries, pasta bakes, slow-cooked roasts or double recipes that get portioned into the freezer.

The Family Cookware collection was made for this. You’ll find:

• The roomy 30cm Oval Dutch Oven, perfect for whole roasts or bulk stews
• The Shallow Casserole Dutch Oven, ideal for baked dinners and layered dishes
• The Deep Ceramic Fry Pan, your weeknight one-pan wonder
• Plus handy bundles like the Family Bundle or Perfect Pans Bundle that cover all the bases

If you’re a planner, a prepper, or someone with a big family to feed, this is your zone.

Big-batch meals, no drama – Family Cookware is built for the way real families eat.

If You Cook for One or Two (Or Just Hate Doing Dishes)…

You don’t need five saucepans and three frypans to cook great food. If you’re mostly making quick meals for yourself or a couple of people, smaller cookware not only saves time and space, it’s easier to clean and store, too.

Our Small Cookware collection includes:

• The 20cm Baby Round Dutch Oven – compact but still perfect for pasta, soup or sides
• The 16cm Baby Saucepan – your go-to for oats, sauces, or heating up leftovers
• The Brekkie Pan – ideal for eggs, toasted sandwiches, or single-serve meals
• Handy bundles like the Mini Essentials Cast-Iron Bundle

Perfect if your kitchen is short on space, or you just want something that does the job without the bulk.

Our mini-essentials bundle is made for solo cooks!

If You Love Cooking Outdoors…

Not all cookware can handle a flame, but Crumble’s Camping Cookware collection was made for it. Whether you're cooking over coals, using a camp stove or just want a more rugged setup, these pieces are built tough and made to travel.

You’ll find:

• The Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet, ready for direct fire
• The Baby Dutch Oven and Ceramic Baby Saucepan, great for gas stoves
• The Brekkie Pan, small enough to pack, big enough to be useful
• And lightweight tools like our Non-Scratch Wood Spoon and compact knife sets

It’s simple, durable, and works whether you’re cooking a full fry-up or just heating soup under the stars.

Built for fire, gas, or whatever the campsite throws at you, our Camping Cookware collection has your back.

If You Love Low and Slow

If your favourite kind of cooking involves long afternoons, slow roasts, and meals that make the house smell amazing for hours, you’ll want enamelled cast iron that can go from stovetop to oven to table.

The Dutch oven collection includes a range of sizes, shapes and colours to suit however you like to slow-cook. Whether you go for a green Dutch oven, blue Dutch oven, or pink Dutch oven, every piece is made to hold heat evenly and clean up easily.

If You’re All About Quick, Healthy Meals

For lighter, weeknight-friendly cooking, ceramic cookware is a great match. It’s naturally non-stick, PFAS-free, easy to clean, and works well for low-oil meals like stir-fries, sautéed greens, eggs or steamed fish.

Check out the Ceramic Cookware Collection, especially:

• The 28cm Deep Fry Pan for one-pan meals
• The Ceramic Baby Saucepan for grains, sauces and soups
• The Steamer Bundle to add healthy sides without extra pans

It’s a solid pick for people who cook often but want to keep things light and low-effort.

Choose Cookware That Matches You

There’s no perfect set that suits everyone, and that’s the point. Your cookware should make cooking feel easier, not more complicated. So whether you’re feeding a crowd, cooking solo, or throwing meals together on a camp stove, Crumble’s got something that fits your style (and your stovetop).

Explore our collections like Family Cookware, Small Cookware, and Camping Cookware and build a setup that suits the way you cook.
