Since the brand's inception, its meticulously-made pots and pans have garnered a reputation amongst home cooks and industry chefs alike for their versatility and ease-of-use. Moving seamlessly between hob, oven and table, Crane's products can be used for everything from stewing to slow-cooking; blanching vegetables to baking bread.
Crane currently offers two ranges of cookware, stripped down to the bare essentials.
