Stellar: the uncoated stainless steel cookware I trust in our kitchen
Once you start thinking about what your food cooks in, it’s hard to go back to peeling non-stick pans. I wanted cookware that was simple, sturdy and uncoated.
Stellar is a British cookware brand, and the pieces I recommend are made from mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel, with thick bases that work on every hob, including induction.[2]
Here’s my guide to the two Stellar pans I recommend right now: the three-tier steamer and the 1.3 litre casserole.

Why I trust Stellar

The casserole is designed in Bristol, with high, rounded sides and a lifetime guarantee, and the steamer’s thick, hot-forged base heats evenly on all hobs, including induction and Aga.[2]

3 Tier Steamer: gentle cooking, all in one
This 4-piece set is made from mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel, with an 18cm base pan, two steaming tiers and a shatterproof tempered-glass lid. Add water to the base, place vegetables, tofu or dumplings in the baskets and stack – food cooks gently in the steam, and you can cook more than one thing at once.[2]
The thick, hot-forged base heats evenly on all hobs, including induction and Aga. The base pan doubles as a saucepan and is oven-safe to 240°C, and the set comes gift-boxed.[2]
“I love this steamer because it provides a safe and toxin-free cooking experience, free from harmful non-stick coatings. It’s a simple and effective way to prepare delicious, wholesome meals while keeping cookware as clean and natural as the food being cooked.” - Georgie x
1.3L Casserole: my everyday saucepan
Designed in Bristol, the Stellar Classic casserole is made from mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel with high, rounded sides – perfect for sauces, curries and risottos, as the spoon reaches easily into the corners.[2]
A thick, hot-forged base spreads heat evenly on all hobs, including induction, and it’s oven-safe up to 240°C. It’s dishwasher-safe and backed by Stellar’s lifetime guarantee.[2]

Why I like uncoated steel
💖 No coating to wear. Just 18/10 stainless steel.[2]
💖 Hob to oven. Both pieces can go in the oven; the steamer base and the casserole are safe to 240°C.[2]
💖 Easy to clean. The casserole is dishwasher-safe.[2]
💖 Built to last. A lifetime guarantee on the casserole.[2]
How these two earn their space
I don’t need a huge set of pans. I need a few that I reach for all the time. The steamer is wonderful for vegetables and tofu, and the little casserole is the one I put on for a sauce or a curry.
If you already love uncoated steel, these are a lovely British-made place to start. If you’re just making the swap, they’re a gentle way in.
Your questions, answered
Do I buy from Glowing Healthy?
No. Each Shop button takes you to Stellar on Amazon UK, where you buy directly.
Is there a discount?
There isn’t a Stellar offer I can confirm through my Amazon links right now, so I haven’t listed one.
What about the 7 litre stockpot?
The Stellar 7L stockpot is currently unavailable through my Amazon link, so I’ve left it out for now.
Will they work on induction?
Yes. Both the steamer and the casserole are induction-ready.[2]
Are they non-stick?
No. They’re uncoated 18/10 stainless steel, which is exactly why I like them.[2]
