Stanley Rogers – French Oven Grill Duo

With kitchen space at a premium, consumers look for multifunctional products to do more with less. The challenge was to design a product that could perform multiple cooking techniques without compromising performance. Second, overcoming user frustrations for a finetuned experience – traditional lids with a knob can only be put down one way which makes a mess, moving a trivet to reposition a hot pot takes multiple steps, traditional shapes don’t store compactly. Third consideration was value; it had to be prices competitively and represent the brand overall positioning. Value also incorporated a ‘buy once for life’ approach towards sustainability.

Multifunction was incorporated: lid is also a grill pan and can also be used to roast on; using the body and lid upside down it becomes a bread cloche. Compact storage: the lid stores under the body allowing another pot to be nested inside. Common frustrations: an in-use wet lid can be placed upside down avoiding mess; magnetic trivet created to allow one-motion repositioning of a hot pot; raised crosses create the perfect X pattern on grilled meat and secondly cause self-basting when roasting; black enamel interior doesn’t show stains over time. All at an accessible price point.

The French Oven Grill Duo’s fresh design maximises space and does more with less, whilst addressing the demand for quality cookware at an affordable price. The timeless aesthetic, suitable to a wide range of kitchen designs, and its durability, including the stain-resistant interior enamel, combine to make this a once-off purchase. Commercially, it is the brand’s second most widely distributed cookware, including Australia, New Zealand and Germany.
