"When designing MIDDAGSMAT, I wanted to make a series with all the basic functions for trouble-free everyday cooking. I used simple and basic shapes like circles and ovals to create knobs and handles with generous and soft lines that provide a good grip – while also adding a lot of character. I hope that many people will appreciate the timeless design and that items in the MIDDAGSMAT series will be faithful companions in the kitchen for many years to come."

Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.
