When it comes to premium cookware, the details make all the difference.

Pres Les offers two unique ranges that bring exceptional quality and design to your kitchen: the Cosmopolitan and Premium cookware collections. Both ranges offer durability, style, and advanced cooking technology, but each brings its own distinct features. Let’s explore what makes each range stand out. 

Cosmopolitan Cookware Range 

Elegant Design 
The Cosmopolitan range is defined by its elegant, organic design featuring a unique rounded shape that brings a timeless style to any kitchen. Its mirror-shine, sleek silver finish adds sophistication, making it a beautiful choice for those who appreciate a modern aesthetic. 

Functional Lid and Handle Design 
The stainless steel dome-shaped lids on Cosmopolitan Cookware are designed for: 

  • Extra volume: Allowing space for cooking larger quantities. 
  • Controlled condensation: Helping prevent burning by ensuring moisture circulates effectively within the pot. 
  • Waterless cooking compatibility: Dome lids optimize steaming, preserving nutrition and enhancing flavors without added water. 


The curved stainless steel handles offer ergonomic comfort and slip resistance, ensuring a secure, comfortable grip. These handles are lightweight, cool to the touch, and scratch-proof. With their welded-on design, the handles are not only sturdy but also provide a seamless, easy-to-clean surface for enhanced kitchen safety. 

Material and Base Construction 
Cosmopolitan cookware uses a three-layer base for optimal performance: 

  • 18/10 stainless steel body: Hygienic, antibacterial, and resistant to stains, corrosion, and rust. 
  • Encapsulated aluminum core: Ensures even heat distribution, essential for uniform cooking and heat retention. 
  • 18/0 magnetizable stainless steel: Makes this cookware compatible with induction stoves. 
    The thick base design allows for even heat distribution across all types of cooking surfaces, including induction, electric, gas, ceramic, and halogen. It’s ideal for cooking techniques that require steady, consistent temperatures. 

Additional Features 
Cosmopolitan cookware also includes capacity marks for precise measuring and a matt interior finish, providing clarity while cooking. Overall, Cosmopolitan cookware offers durability and elegance, exclusive to Pres Les, for a refined cooking experience. 

Premium Cookware Range 

Sleek, Streamlined Design 
The Premium range offers a sleek, streamlined Windsor conical shape known for its efficiency in reducing sauces and fast, effective cooking. The brushed steel finish with a polished mirror band lends a sophisticated, modern look, making it a stylish addition to any kitchen. 

Durable, Convenient Handles and Lids 
The Premium range features stylish aubergine silicone handles that stay cool to the touch, ensuring safe handling while cooking, and offering a stylish pop of colour. The handles are also riveted on, providing enhanced durability and making them easy to clean. 

Premium cookware stands out with its curved tempered glass lids that allow you to monitor food without lifting the lid. These lids are strong and heat-resistant, adding an extra layer of safety and functionality for effortless cooking. 

Advanced Tri-Ply Construction 
Unlike the Cosmopolitan range, Premium cookware features tri-ply construction: 

  • 18/10 stainless steel interior**: Strong, hygienic, and resistant to rust and staining, with the durability to withstand high stovetop temperatures. 
  • Encapsulated aluminum layer**: Distributes heat evenly and retains it, perfect for keeping food warm. 
  • 18/0 stainless steel exterior: Makes the cookware induction-friendly. 

Cosmopolitan Cookware, features the same metals, however only at the base, not throughout the sides as well.  

This combination of materials offers fast, energy-efficient cooking that saves time and money while ensuring even heat distribution for consistent results. 

Waterless Cooking Capabilities 
Both Cosmopolitan and Premium cookware are compatible with waterless cooking. The  waterless seal allows food to steam in its natural juices, preserving color, nutrition, and flavor, making healthy cooking simple and easy. 

Additional Features 
Premium cookware also includes no-mess rims for spill-free pouring and a matt interior that provides a neutral backdrop for easy cooking clarity. Like Cosmopolitan, it has capacity marks for precise measurement. 

Which Cookware is Right for You? 

For those who value classic elegance with an ergonomic design, Cosmopolitan cookware’s unique style, dome-shaped lids, and cool-touch stainless steel handles provide an elevated cooking experience. If efficiency and modern style are your priorities, the Premium range’s conical design, silicone cool-touch handles, and tempered glass lids are ideal. 

Both cookware ranges are engineered to provide long-lasting quality and advanced cooking technology, ensuring every meal is prepared to perfection. Whether you choose Cosmopolitan or Premium, you’re investing in high-quality cookware that’s built to last and designed to delight.
