PRAWN & CHICKEN GUMBO - TOM KERRIDGE

"Gumbo is a similar style of one-pot wonder to a good bouillabaisse. Created by the Creoles in South Louisiana at the turn of the nineteenth century, it remains just as popular today as it was then. Of course, there are many variations. Don’t be put off by the lengthy list of ingredients – once they’re in the pan, it’s not...

Venison and bacon stew with orange and bay - Gill Meller

"Venison makes really good stews. I use the meat from the shoulder as it responds well to slow cooking. Its rich, dark and deep in flavor but can be lean, so I've paired it up with some sweet cured pancetta. Not only does it add volumes in terms of flavour but it also adds the necessary fat, giving you the...

Frying Pan Squash And Cavolo Nero Pie - Anna Jones

This tart is a meeting of two amazing dinners I ate in the same week. One was a light, crisp feta and spinach spanakopita pie in a no-frills Greek café, not far from home. The other was in a great pizza place a few minutes’ walk from my house, where I ate a pizza topped with smashed squash, crispy cavolo...

Lamb Barra Kebab - Karam Sethi

“Lamb Barra Kebab, meaning
 ‘best end chops’, is a delicately spiced dish, cooked in a griddle pan,
and meant to fall off the bone. A paste is created with yogurt
 and spices which should fully cover the lamb chops. Allowing the chops to marinate overnight produces the best results as they become more succulent and easier to cook. Kashmiri chilli powder...

Lyle's Sourdough Recipe - James Lowe

As part of our collaboration with Lyles James Lowe has created a recipe for a sourdough bread that you can make at home in our C1 casserole.

“Bread is one of the most satisfying things you can make. I can think of few other things so special, created from so few and such simple ingredients. One of the things that makes...

Black Enamel

Crane products are finished with our specially formulated matt black enamel inside and out, which has a subtly textured appearance. Originally developed for use in commercial kitchens, the specific properties of this high-quality enamel finish improve the products' resistance to thermal shocks and scratches making our pans virtually indestructible. Ideal for sautéing, caramelizing, searing, and braising food. The products will gradually “burn...

C 840 - How Crane products are made

We have recently made a film C 840 to show you how our products are made with British photographer & filmmaker Nick Ballon.

The film captures the texture and activity of the 175-year-old French foundry and the skilled people who work there, a mixture of hand craftsmanship & state of the art computer driven machines. The score by Have Music...

“The four-pan set will tackle the most arduous jobs with form and function in perfect harmony.”

“It’s inconceivable that many acts of domestic cookery are beyond Crane’s tough (and exceedingly heavy-duty) range of cookware.”

“As sturdy as Le Creuset – and burn proof, to boot. A minimalist cook’s dream.”
