Cooking just got way more fun (and Instagramable).
When was the last time you took stock of the pots, pans, and cookware piled in your kitchen cabinet? If they’ve got scratch marks, burn stains, or simply aren’t that appealing to look at, it might be time for a cookware upgrade. And if you’re in the market for new cooking items, you’re very much in luck. What were once customary kitchen essentials that needed to be checked off the inventory list have turned into an opportunity to let your personality shine through. With sleek designs, stunning color options, and innovative new technology, today’s cookware is light-years away from the drab options of the past.
But, you don’t have to do a major overhaul of every appliance to refresh your kitchen staples — although that sounds ideal to us. Even replacing a few of your grimy old pots and pans will be worth it (and won’t break the bank). Plus, when your kitchen cookware looks like eye-candy, it makes cooking your favorite recipes way more appealing.
With so many options available — and direct to consumer brands like Our Place and Caraway Home blowing up all over social media — we’ve rounded up our favorite options that also double as perfect housewarming or wedding gifts. Shop our Instagramable cookware picks below.
