Best places to shop kitchenware and cookware in Singapore

The recent quasi-lockdown has made experimental chefs out of us having a go at homemade recipes and the like. But it has also exposed our under-equipped kitchens – the last thing you want is not being able to whip up a storm because you’re missing a piece of kitchenware.

Here’s our handy guide to where you can get everything from pots and pans, to smart appliances like sous vide machines.

Ikea is the beginner’s best friend when it comes to kitchenware, but also an affordable one-stop option for all. Pots start at a low price of $9.90, including sleek wooden chopping boards at the same price.

With an extensive selection of both kitchenware and tableware – from small deets like napkin holders to the mainstay plates and bowls – it’s a great starting place to fill in the gaps of your kitchen. Don’t mistake the low prices for low quality, though. Ikea is about as reliable as it gets.
