This online marketplace has been my hidden gem for buying high-quality pans for years now – I'm ready to share the secret

Two orange Le Creuset pans on a stove top in a modern white kitchen.

You know how the saying goes: buy cheap, buy twice. But let's be honest, that's easier said than done especially with the proliferation of fast homeware and the pinch on all of our pockets in recent years.

So what's the antidote to a kitchen filled with products that will only last a few years or worse, mere months, when shopping for the best saucepans and the best non-stick pans?

For me, there's one very valuable resource that I've come to rely on: the Buy Me Once online marketplace. Exclusively selling long-lasting products, everything you can pick up from Buy Me Once has been independently vetted to ensure that it's made to last. It's an ethos that we have here at Ideal Home too, with our policy on featuring products that we've actually tried and tested.

If you also want to shop longer lasting buys for your kitchen, these are the picks that I love from the fantastic Buy Me Once shop, including a few of my own tried and tested long-lasting faves as Ideal Home's Kitchen Appliances Editor.

Cookware favourites

Picking the right cookware is a huge decision, especially if you're a keen cook who will be reaching for a pot or a pan multiple times a day.

That's why I love these picks below, as they're all selected thanks to their longevity. Many of them also have fantastic guarantees, so that you can have peace of mind for many moons to come.

Star kitchen buys

There are so many product categories on Buy Me Once, from bed linen (all of the Piglet in Bed pieces are on my wish list) to travel essentials, but my favourite is all of those kitchen buys you never even knew you needed. Here's the ones that will go the distance and scratch that itch to invest in your cooking space.

Whether you're looking for some inspiration for Plastic Free July or just interested in a marketplace that gets to the point when it comes to quality, then I can't recommend Buy Me Once enough.

Will you be checking out the different tried and tested buys?
