The Ironclad Jr.
Price: From $89 AUD
Australia’s premier cast-iron cookware brand has the perfect gift for Mum, and it goes by the name of Ironclad Jr. Only 10cm in size but massive in performance, the cast-iron pan is handcrafted to the highest standards and free from “forever” chemicals. Not only does it work on any heat source, including stovetop, oven, BBQ, and campfire—but it’s great for serving classic dishes straight to the table. Will it be a decadent dessert like gooey brownies or mini apple pies? Or maybe a small main such as sizzling prawns? Tapas anyone? The possibilities are endless…and delicious!
As with all products from Ironclad Co., Ironclad Jr. comes with a Three-Generation Guarantee cast directly into the iron. This pan is built to last with a smooth hand-finished underside and an overall design that’s meant to be handed down across multiple generations (hence the guarantee). It’s available in sets of 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8, and the brand even throws in an acacia wood serving board with your purchase. Get cooking with absolute confidence as you whip up something special for yourself or your loved ones in a truly timeless fashion. Gifts don’t get any more iron-clad than this one!

A gift for her perhaps, but pretty much everyone will benefit from the tasty results! We like to call this win/win/win/win/win/win/win/win (as it can cook for up to 8 people at a time).
The Combi delivers cutting-edge technology, effortless convenience, consistent quality, and a cook time that’s 50% faster than traditional ovens. Grill, steam, air fry, slow cook, toast, bake, and more – thanks to patented Combi™ Cooker Technology, every ingredient is cooked to perfection, ensuring juicy, tender proteins and crispy veggies in a single go.
In a world where time is a luxury and convenience is king, the Combi heeds the call for fresh and frozen ingredients alike. No more defrosting, as the Ninja Combi can take food from frozen to table in just 30 minutes. Its two-level design enables simultaneous cooking of mains, grains, and veggies.
It doesn’t just save time, but it spares the hassle of cleaning up multiple pots and pans too. We could go on (and on), but you get the idea. More than a time-saver, this product is a game-changer! The perfect gift for the busy mum in your life.
