Full cookware sets — stainless steel, granite-coated and non-stick — from UGX 150,000 to UGX 270,000. These are the sets that replace a mismatched collection of sufurias, and they are among the most common wedding and housewarming gifts we deliver.

Stainless steel is the long-term buy: it survives metal utensils, high heat and decades of scrubbing, and it browns meat properly, but food will stick if you heat it dry. Granite-coated sets have a mineral-reinforced non-stick surface that is tougher than standard coating and handles higher heat — a good middle ground. Plain non-stick is the easiest to cook eggs and fish in and the easiest to clean, but the coating is consumable: treat it gently and expect to replace it eventually. Many kitchens here end up with a steel set plus one non-stick pan, which is a sensible outcome rather than a compromise.
Every set we stock has a flat base, so it works on infrared cookers, gas and electric coil hobs alike. Infrared is worth calling out because it is what most of our customers are buying: unlike induction, infrared does not need a magnetic base, so aluminium and steel both work. The thing to check is diameter — a pot wider than the cooker plate heats unevenly at the rim, so match your largest pot to your plate size before buying.
Three habits cover almost all early failures. Do not heat an empty non-stick pan — that is what destroys coatings, not cooking in them. Let a hot pan cool before it meets cold water, because thermal shock warps bases and a warped base never sits flat on an infrared plate again. And use wood or silicone utensils on any coated surface. A granite or non-stick set treated this way lasts years; the same set used with a metal spoon on a dry high heat can be ruined in months.
