Cookware and stovetop

Mara Lindqvist

Mara covers cookware for Kitchenery: nonstick and stainless sets, cast iron, roasters and the big enamel pots that come out for canning season.

She reads a cookware page the way you read a lease, from the oven-safe limit to the care note in small print, and then goes through what owners report a year later.

Her test for a pan is simple: would it still be the one you reach for on a Tuesday night?

Portrait is an illustration. Kitchenery writers read product pages, instructions and buyer reviews. They don't test products by hand.
