WMF NZ | Premium Cookware – Sauté Cookware

WMF Cookware New Zealand – German Engineering for the Modern Kitchen

WMF has been crafting precision cookware in Germany since 1853. For over 170 years, the brand has set the benchmark for quality, innovation, and design — trusted by professional chefs and passionate home cooks across the world, and now available in New Zealand through Sauté Cookware.

Every WMF piece is built around one philosophy: that great cooking starts with great tools.

Why WMF?

WMF's reputation rests on a foundation of genuine German engineering. At the heart of most WMF cookware is Cromargan® — WMF's proprietary 18/10 stainless steel alloy that is rust-proof, acid-resistant, hygienic, and built to last decades. Combine that with precision-engineered bases, ergonomic handles, and thoughtful design, and you have cookware that performs as well on day 1,000 as it does on day one.

Made in Germany – Engineered and manufactured to exacting German standards
Cromargan® 18/10 Stainless Steel – WMF's signature material; rust-proof, hygienic, and virtually indestructible
Even Heat Distribution – Encapsulated aluminium bases eliminate hot spots for consistent results
Designed to Last – WMF cookware is a long-term investment, not a short-term purchase
Professional Performance at Home – The same quality trusted by commercial kitchens worldwide

Cookware Sets The smartest way to equip your kitchen. WMF cookware sets pair complementary pieces — fry pans, saucepans, and casseroles — in a single investment, ensuring a cohesive, high-performing collection from day one.

Frying Pans From the scratch-resistant Profi Resist non-stick range to pure Cromargan® stainless steel, WMF frying pans are engineered for searing, frying, and sautéing with precision. Available in a range of sizes and coatings to suit every cooking style.

Woks High-sided and fast-heating, WMF woks are built for stir-fries, Asian-inspired cooking, and anything that benefits from intense, even heat across a large surface.

Casseroles Slow cook, braise, and simmer with confidence. WMF casseroles retain and distribute heat evenly, making them ideal for stews, curries, soups, and one-pot family meals.

Saucepans Precise, responsive, and built for everything from sauces and reductions to boiling pasta and steaming vegetables. WMF saucepans are a kitchen staple done properly.

Roasters Purpose-built for the oven, WMF roasters deliver even heat for perfectly roasted meats, vegetables, and everything in between. From Sunday roasts to weeknight dinners, these are built to perform.

Pressure Cookers Cook faster without sacrificing flavour or nutrients. WMF pressure cookers are among the most trusted in the world — precision-engineered for safety, speed, and consistent results. Perfect for busy New Zealand households that want slow-cooked depth in a fraction of the time.

Is WMF Worth It?

WMF sits at the premium end of the cookware market — and for good reason. When you buy WMF, you're buying cookware that won't need replacing. The Cromargan® stainless steel resists rust, staining, and scratching. The bases won't warp. The handles won't loosen. For anyone serious about cooking, WMF is one of the most cost-effective long-term investments you can make in your kitchen.

It's the cookware you buy once.
