Learn about the unique attributes and similarities between our innovative cookware ranges with the help of our Solid Cookware Guide.
Our cookware is a testament to our dedication to achieving sustainability through durability. Both AUS-ION™ and nöni™ are made in Australia and wrought from a single sheet of the finest quality iron or material stainless steel material, with no rivets or welds. Our cookware contains no toxic, synthetic coatings that will harm your health or the planet.
With a multi-century warranty, our cookware is designed to become heirloom pieces that can be passed down for generations. These are not plastic-coated throw-away pans that will soon end up in landfills. As our pans are highly conductive, we incorporate innovative features like long ergonomic handles with air vents to help them stay cooler for longer.
Our AUS-ION™ and nöni™ cookware ranges are induction compatible. They can be used on any heat source, indoors and out (except microwave ovens), making them exceptionally versatile cookware that will help you create endless culinary creations!
AUS-ION™ is your solid iron cooking powerhouse! This range is wrought from a single piece of 100% pure and clean Aussie iron. Our iron range cooks and seasons like cast iron but is more robust, lighter, and more conductive.
The more you cook with fats and oils, the more your patina (natural seasoning) will develop. This unique process not only enhances the non-toxic, forever-renewable surface of our iron but adds an inviting flavour to your dishes.
With AUS-ION™, your cooking will continue to improve with use. This range is not just for frying; it's your everyday kitchen companion. From shallow frying and grilling eggs, meat, and veggies to making pancakes, browning, and caramelizing, it's also perfect for baking pies, cakes, pizza, and bread. The versatility of AUS-ION™ extends to roasting vegetables, stir-frying, making fried rice, frittatas, omelettes, and more.
Our AUS-ION™ is ideal for achieving gorgeous crispy skin on meat and veggies.
We also extended AUS-ION™ to include our RAW range (with is perfect for those who want the freedom to season for the first time themselves).
AUS-ION™ gives you the power to develop and build your own completely natural seasoning over time and enhance the flavour of any dish. It is ideal for creating a crisp coat on meat and veggies, searing, grilling, and frying while harnessing the unique, wholesome, smoky flavours unique to iron.
nöni™ is our ferritic, non-nickel stainless steel range. When Mark Henry, our visionary founder and product development engineer, introduced our nöni™ range in 2017 with the first noni 2.5L saucepan, he envisioned one that could complement our AUS-ION™ range yet offer standalone qualities. nöni™ does just that! It's a highly durable, versatile range that's easy to maintain, dishwasher safe and requires no seasoning.
This low-maintenance culinary star is perfect for cooking acidic sauces, wet foods, and slow-cooked meals. nöni™ is an excellent range for cooking pasta, rice, poached eggs, boiled or steamed vegetables, sauces, curries, soups, stocks, jams, paella, risotto, casseroles and is also great for baking. (The bonus? Our nöni™ lids are unique and have many versatile uses).
Each item from our nöni™ range is formed into shape from one solid sheet of ferritic stainless steel, with no clad/ply layers that could weaken or fail. We use ferritic stainless steel because it is non-nickel and nearly twice as conductive as commonly used 18-10 Austenitic stainless steels.
While stainless steel is not specifically a non-stick material, the right balance of heat and fats/oils can easily achieve this.
nöni™ is not just another cookware range. It's a versatile companion to our AUS-ION™ cookware with stand-alone benefits. nöni™ cooks like iron but cleans like stainless! It's low-maintenance, dishwasher safe, and requires no seasoning. It is your go-to for cooking acidic foods, liquids, and slow-cooked meals, but it is also excellent for frying, baking, and everything in between.
Both ranges will allow you generate outstanding culinary creations from the stovetop to the BBQ.
AUS-ION™ is your go-to for frying, grilling, baking, and searing. It allows you to build and develop your seasoning as you cook with more fats and oils and can harness wholesome flavours unique to iron. With the benefits of seasoning, it gives you the power to build wonderful flavour and maintain a natural, non-stick cooking surface.
nöni™ is designed to complement AUS-ION™. It's perfect for cooking wet and acidic dishes, slow cooking, and it's super low-maintenance.
AUS-ION™ requires a bit more care than nöni™. It's best to avoid exposing iron to excessive moisture, soaking it or cleaning it with hash detergents (especially when your seasoning is young). Avoid drip-drying your iron cookware, and dry it thoroughly after each use to prevent oxidation. If oxidation does occur, never fear - iron is forever renewable. Just give it a good scrub and easily reseason when needed.
Our nöni™ range can be cleaned in the dishwasher (hand washing is recommended, though nöni™ is dishwasher safe). For more information, view our nöni™Care Guide.
Our seamless one-piece cookware continues to evolve and is engineered to be the best in the world - in performance, health, sustainability, and durability. We ensure our cookware is manufactured locally to keep jobs in Australia.
Mark is always working on innovative new cookware from frypans, baking and roasting trays, woks, saucepans and much more! We've even recently branched out to include knives, sharpeners, and sustainable kitchen tools!
In addition to our singature ranges we also developed nöni™ Lightning and AUS-ION™ Lightning ranges. These are designed to eliminate every non-essential cost and feature a reduced pan thickness, making them lighter to handle.
Our flagship AUS-ION™ is made from a single sheet of 3mm material, whereas its Lightning equivalent is made in 2.5mm. Currently, our 2.5mm AUS-ION Lightning range is available exclusively through Myer.
Comparatively, the nöni™ flagship range comes in 3mm material, with the Lightning equivalent available in 2mm.
In short, AUS-ION™ is your go-to for frying, grilling, searing, baking, and more while giving you the power to lovingly season your pan, whereas nöni™ stainless steel shines with wet and acidic foods and is super low maintenance.
Both AUS-ION™ and nöni™ are designed to ensure your meals are cooked to perfection, allowing you to create restaurant-quality dishes at home. Our cookware is constantly evolving and is at the forefront of innovation, promising high quality and performance.
We recommend building your cookware collection with pieces from both ranges for ultimate versatility. Rest assured that every piece from our collection will continue to serve your family faithfully for generations to come.
