What the PEP Home pots can actually do

In the video, she confirmed that the cookware is non-stick and ceramic-coated, oven-safe, and works across gas, induction, and standard electric stovetops. For anyone who has been on the fence, that covers most South African kitchens.

She also shared a few tips to keep the pots in good shape. Gas flame users should ensure the heat stays under the base and does not creep up the sides, as this causes discolouration. Metal utensils are a no-go since they scratch and eventually damage the coating, so wooden or plastic alternatives are the way to go. When stacking the pots for storage, she advised placing protective separators between them to avoid surface damage.
