Essteele

An Australian-owned brand since the 1940s and manufactured in Milan, Italy, Essteele is one of Australia's most renowned cookware brands with a reputation for producing quality cookware lines that perform and add style and flair to your kitchen.

What are the Essteele cookware ranges and their differences?

Essteele Australis

Made of high-quality heavy gauge stainless steel with a beautiful mirror finish on the exterior and handles, the Essteele Australis range is built to last and has integrated silicone handles making it easy to handle in the kitchen without gloves.

Essteele Per Domani

Essteele's Per Domani cookware range offers incredible non-stick performance that is hardened with diamond crystals to ensure its hard-wearing and provides exceptional heat conductivity. Made in Italy with 8-layer construction, this range is PFOA-free and metal utensil safe.

Essteele Per Forza

Made with a heavy-gauge cast aluminium core and a reinforced dual-layer non-stick coating that is also on the exterior for easy cleaning, the Essteele Per Forza range is a more affordable option in the Essteele cookware range and offers great value for money with a lifetime guarantee. We love the Italian flag feature on the handles that adds a touch of Italian flair.

Essteele Per Natura

Environmentally friendly from the factory to point-of-sale, purposely designed for the eco-conscious consumer, the Essteele Per Natura range by Essteele is constructed with recycled materials and is even packaged in completely biodegradable FSC-certified packaging. Made from recycled aluminium with Essteele's own "Green" coating utilising a plant-based non-stick coating, this range is ideal for the environmentally-conscious kitchen. We recommend this range to those on a budget as an introduction to Essteele cookware. 

Essteele Per Salute

A fusion of diamond-hard nonstick durability with a patented Thermotech™ handle, this range combines convenience and style with innovative handles which feature an indicator that will turn green when the pans are at the optimal temperature to start cooking. These Essteele Per Salute pans combine Italian-engineered 7-layer construction and patented DuraShield to add greater resistance to wear and tear. 

Essteele Per Sempre

Designed with the home chef in mind, this range of stainless steel cookware is designed to be used on high heat with optimal temperature control for perfect cooking results. With a heavy-gauge aluminium core for fast and even heat conduction enveloped in a solid 18/10 brushed stainless steel exterior, this range is ideal for those with induction stovetops who desire cookware that's designed and built to last a lifetime. 

Essteele Per Vita

Where style and performance meet, the Essteele Per Vita cookware range adds an extra touch of style and elegance with incredible cooking performance. Featuring copper bases to ensure fast and even heat dispersion that is both visually striking and functional, premium nonstick on selected pans as well as beautiful mirror finishes, these pans are so attractive you'll want to keep them on display in your kitchen. 

Essteele Per Amore

Essteele's latest premium stainless steel cookware collection, the Per Amore features fast-heating aluminium bonded between two premium grade stainless steel layers. This triple bonded construction provides a lifetime of performance, with the aluminium core made to not delaminate or separate with use. The 18/10 brushed stainless steel finish is similar to the Per Sempre range however this collection has been designed for the professional chef or enthusiast in mind featuring longer and larger handles for cooking on hot open-flame commercial stoves and for easier handling with gloves.

FAQ Essteele Questions:

Is Essteele Australian owned?

Owned since the 1940s, Essteele is still an Australian-owned brand today within the Meyer Cookware group. 

How do you clean Essteele cookware?

For all of Essteele's nonstick cookware, we recommend filling the pan with 3 parts water to one part detergent or vinegar. Bring the pan to boil with the water then leave to cool before rinsing with dishwashing detergent and a non-abrasive brush or washing pad so as not to damage the nonstick coatings. For Essteele Stainless Steel cookware we recommend using their Essteele Cookware Cleaner.

Can I clean Essteele cookware in the dishwasher? 

The following Essteele cookware is approved to be used in home dishwashers:

Essteele Per Domani

Essteele Per Vita (excluding those with nonstick coatings)

Essteele Per Forza

All other ranges are recommended to be hand-washed only. Everten recommends you handwash your nonstick cookware as a means to preserve the longevity of its nonstick coating as some harsh dishwasher detergents can deteriorate the coatings and finishes of cookware.

Can I use Essteele Cookware in the oven? 

Essteele nonstick cookware is rated to be used in the oven at 180°C, however, their roasting pans alongside their Per Vita and Per Sempre stainless steel ranges are rated for use in the oven at a maximum of 260°C.
