Portmeirion Group has won the Excellence in Cookware award for its Sophie Conran for Portmeirion Cookware Collection at the Excellence in Housewares Awards 2013.
Regarded as the Oscars of the housewares trade, the Excellence in Housewares Awards recognize and reward exemplary product innovation and service acumen across the industry.
Portmeirion Group worked in partnership with celebrated food writer Sophie Conran to develop and create the collection of ceramic-coated cast aluminum cookware. A new direction for the brand, the collection features the latest nonstick coating technology with cast aluminum bodies for optimum heat distribution
“Lightweight but strong, the Sophie Conran Cookware Collection is an exciting achievement for our team,” said Wendy Motlaq, corporate vice president for Portmeirion Group. “The collection demonstrates Portmeirion Group’s commitment to create products that are stylish and feature the latest technology to make cooking easy.”
The Sophie Conran for Portmeirion Cookware Collection includes an innovative ceramic nonstick coating, which is free from plastics, PTFE and PFOA, and does not emit harmful fumes and toxins if accidentally overheated. The high-quality coating inside and out ensures the range is hard-wearing, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. The cast aluminum body, with integrated handles, guarantees ease of handling as well as quick heat transfer and heat retention. It also has a heavy-gauge base which is oven-safe up to 390 F and eliminates hot spots, giving an even spread of heat. Tempered glass lids with polished stainless steel rims complete each piece.
