Modern Kitchenware

 

Modern kitchenware turns the everyday act of cooking into something more considered. Hawkins New York’s kitchenware collection includes cookware, kitchen tools, textiles, and pantry storage—each piece designed for everyday use and built to last. While many say you can never have too many kitchen accessories, we believe a few well-chosen kitchen tools are all you need. Essential cookware—like nonstick pans and stainless steel pots—forms the foundation of any functional kitchen. Explore our selection of cookware sets, pots, and pans in a range of materials and finishes, alongside versatile kitchen essentials designed for lasting performance.



Cookware by Material


When it comes to cookware for home chefs, versatility and quality matter most. Choose from pots and pans crafted in chef-approved materials—from durable stainless steel and cast iron to beautiful copper. Each cookware material brings distinct cooking benefits, so you can match the pan to the task.

Cookware materials and their benefits:

  • Cast Iron: Known for durability and even heat distribution. Naturally boosts iron intake and easily transitions from stovetop to oven.
  • Spun Iron: Offers excellent heat retention, perfect for slow-cooked and seared dishes. 
  • Enamel-Coated Cookware: Combines easy cleaning with vibrant colors and style, a great choice for serving due to its aesthetically appealing design.
  • Copper Cookware: Provides precise temperature control for delicate cooking. Timeless and beautiful, perfect for kitchen-to-table presentation.
  • Soapstone: Stone retains moisture while cooking, making it ideal for beans, stews, chili, and slow braises. 



Kitchen Tools and Accessories


Our thoughtfully curated collection of kitchen tools and baking accessories is built around the essentials home cooks reach for daily. From durable measuring sets to premium graters, peelers, and whisks, each piece combines function with timeless design. If you’re just starting your kitchen collection, these are the essential kitchen tools we recommend keeping on hand:

  • Cutting Board: A quality cutting board protects surfaces and enhances prep.
  • Chef's Knife: A sharp, versatile knife is indispensable for most tasks.
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons: Accurate measuring spoons and cups ensure recipe success.

Kitchen Textiles


Our modern collection of kitchen towels, textiles, and trivets blends function and design. Available in a range of colors and patterns, these everyday essentials suit any aesthetic—from simple to modern to timeless. The three kitchen textiles every kitchen should start with are dish towels, pot holders, and aprons. Once you have the basics, you can build your collection from there.

  • Dish Towels: Essential for drying dishes, hands, and wiping down surfaces; choose absorbent materials like cotton.
  • Pot Holders and/or Oven Mitts: Protect your hands when handling hot pots and pans; look for heat-resistant options for safety. They can also double as a trivet when serving.
  • Aprons: Keep your clothes clean while cooking; opt for durable, easy-to-clean fabrics and aprons with pockets for spoons, spatulas, and other cooking tools. 



Kitchen Storage and Pantry Organization


Our kitchen storage and pantry organization collection is designed for everyday efficiency. From sleek glass canisters that keep dry goods fresh to versatile woven baskets for grab-and-go essentials, each piece combines function with form.
