All steamed up

Not cheap but extremely covetable, Le Pentole make the kind of cooking pots that inspire envy. These Italian pots and pans are engineered to a very high spec. The bases have three layers - steel, copper and silver alloy - to ensure even heat distribution. The range was re-launched in 2006, and there are now 36 different pots to choose from. Of special note is the spaghetti set which allows you to cook spaghetti in a colander suspended in the boiling water while your vegetables steam in a compartment above, and your sauce keeps warm in a layer above that.

Le Pentole pots, available from Conran stores nationwide; prices from [pound]59.95
