Many of us associate that feeling of “home” with Mom’s cooking. Whatever her special dish may be, you can always count on it to make you feel young again, like the flashback scene in Ratatouille. Here are some brands & products that will suit Mom perfectly.

Caraway

While no brand is inherently gendered, something about Caraway appeals to mothers more than the average cookware to me. The ceramic-coated, pastel colored brand strikes a perfect balance between vibrant and understated.

The key ingredients that make Caraway a top-tier cookware choice is their non-toxic, non-stick material. It’s important to pick cookware that not only looks good and functions well, but protects you and your mother’s health going forward.

HexClad

HexClad is a durable combination of stainless steel, non-stick cookware. Having exploded onto the cookware scene in recent years, their strong approach to marketing is matched only by their high-quality items.

I have a number of their products in my kitchen, and feel confident cooking anything with them. The versatility within each product, let alone across the variety of items available on their website, speaks for itself.

Victorinox

Primarily known for their knives, Victorinox has expanded over time to a wide offering of top-end Swiss products, ranging from watches to luggage. The brand actually got its start providing knives to the Swiss army in 1892. So, I guess they don’t call them Swiss army knives for nothing!

As far as cookware is concerned, you can find heavy-duty steak knives, or a more simplistic & colorful set of paring knives. Scissors, flatware and storage are a few of the other options available in the kitchen aisle of Victorinox.
