We love Falcon Enamelware. Utilitarian, affordable, chic: it functions perfectly, and has been a design classic since it first appeared in British kitchens in the 1920s. You can cook in it (it withstands heat up to 270 degrees C), prep with it, serve from it; it’s easy to clean, goes in the dishwasher, stacks brilliantly, doesn’t break, won’t burn or stain, will last forever, photographs really well (food bloggers take note – Jamie Oliver is always using it), and looks great. We’ve long since loved it in its classic form: bright white with a distinctive blue rim, but are thrilled to see that Falcon have started creating new sets using different colours. We’re particularly mad about the bake and prep sets rimmed in pigeon grey, and to that end are giving away a pigeon bake set (worth £64.99) to one lucky winner. Falcon have also extended their range to include tumblers, mugs, a serving tray and a teapot, and have collaborated with the always brilliant French store Merci to produce a set of mini tumblers (photographed below), which we use all the time. They are great for mint tea, or for filling up with something like horseradish sauce, or olives, or for making jelly or tiny chocolate pots. Great, obviously, just to drink out off too, or for a picnic. Visit Falcon’s lovely website. It makes you want to start cooking immédiatement.
