About Us

At Cookworks®, we believe that cooking should be easy, enjoyable, and accessible to everyone. That’s why we design and manufacture a wide range of high-quality, affordable kitchen appliances to help you prepare delicious meals with ease.

Our Story

Cookworks® was founded in 2011 with a simple mission – to make cooking easier. Our founders saw that while people enjoyed good food, many found cooking to be a chore. Appliances were often complicated, expensive, or didn’t deliver the results home cooks wanted.

We set out to change that by creating thoughtfully designed products that were intuitive and enjoyable to use. Our aim was to develop appliances that had all the features you need without any unnecessary bells and whistles to keep costs down. Value and reliability were our top priorities.

The first Cookworks® product was a microwave oven that combined simple controls with robust performance. It quickly found an eager audience amongst home cooks who appreciated the no-fuss approach. From there, we continued expanding our range of small appliances, introducing new categories like air fryers, blenders, kettles and more.

Today we offer an extensive collection of over 200 products across several appliance categories. From staples like toasters and kettles to innovative appliances like our multicookers, we aim to cover every aspect of food preparation. Our products are available at major retailers throughout the UK and Europe as well as online.

While our product range has grown vastly over the years, our founding principles remain the same. We still believe cooking should be hassle-free, and our products are designed with ease-of-use in mind. We maintain an unwavering commitment to quality, ensuring that every appliance we make withstands the rigors of daily use.

Above all, our goal is to help you spend less time worrying about appliances and more time enjoying delicious home-cooked meals with family and friends.

Our Values

Everything we do at Cookworks® is guided by our core values:

Simplicity

We believe cooking should be fuss-free. Our products are thoughtfully designed to be intuitive and easy to use, with streamlined controls and just the right features – nothing more, nothing less. You shouldn’t need an instruction manual to use a microwave or kettle. We aim to eliminate complicated functions and superfluous bells and whistles so you can simply get cooking.

Quality

Our appliances are built to last. We use strong, durable materials and rigorously test our products to meet strict quality standards. A Cookworks® appliance should withstand years of regular use and continue delivering the same great performance. We want our products to be appliances you can rely on day after day.

Value

Premium cooking appliances shouldn’t have to cost a premium. Our direct-to-consumer model allows us to cut out the middleman and pass significant savings to our customers without compromising on quality. We offer feature-packed appliances at accessible price points so home cooks on any budget can equip their kitchen with the tools they need. Value is always a central focus.

Innovation

We’re constantly developing new ways to make kitchen tasks easier and dreaming up solutions to common cooking conundrums. Our team is always on the lookout for ways to incorporate fresh features or technologies into our products – whether it’s a new cooking mode for our air fryers or a clever new blender design. We pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of kitchen innovation.

Customer Happiness

Our customer’s experience and satisfaction are top priorities. We go above and beyond to provide friendly, knowledgeable support and helpful guidance to Cookworks® users. Our internal teams thoroughly test all products before launch to ensure excellent real-world performance. If any issue arises, we swiftly address the problem and make it right. Your happiness is essential.

By sticking to these core values, our aim is to help build kitchen confidence so you can spend less time worrying about tools and techniques and more time enjoying the pleasures of home cooking.

Our Commitment to Quality

Every product that bears the Cookworks® name undergoes rigorous quality testing and inspections. Our dedicated team works hard to ensure that every appliance meets our strict quality standards so we can deliver high-performing, reliable kitchen tools you can trust.

Research and Development

The process starts in our research and development labs where our engineers thoroughly evaluate the feasibility and functionality of product concepts. We assess factors like:

  • Durability – How will materials and construction withstand prolonged use?
  • Performance – Does the appliance deliver the promised features and results?
  • Ease of use – Are controls and workflows intuitive for the user?
  • Safety – Have we incorporated measures to prevent hazards and accidents?

Supply Chain Audits

We closely monitor all our manufacturing partners through regular audits and inspections. We examine factors like:

  • Production facilities – Are proper protocols being followed to ensure optimal quality?
  • Components sourced – Do parts meet material and performance specifications?
  • Assembly process – Does workmanship meet expected standards?
  • Testing procedures – Are products adequately inspected before shipment?

By overseeing the entire supply chain, we can ensure excellent quality from start to finish.

Product Testing

Extensive testing takes place throughout development and continues once production samples are completed. Tests confirm that appliances perform to their stated specifications and can withstand real-world conditions over prolonged periods. Common evaluations include:

  • Lifecycle testing – Simulating regular use over several years.
  • Stress testing – Operating products at maximum capacity for extended periods.
  • Drop testing – Dropping from heights to test durability.
  • Electrical safety – Verifying correct grounding, insulation, and leakage current.

We also beta test products by sending samples to home users and incorporating their feedback into any needed tweaks before launch. Thorough multi-point testing ensures all Cookworks® appliances are thoughtfully engineered and well-equipped for daily use.

After-Sales Support

Even after launch, we stay committed to a positive customer experience. Our helpful customer service team is available to address any technical issues, product malfunctions, or warranty claims. We provide guidance on troubleshooting, setup, features, and more.

By taking a vested interest in after-sales support, we gain valuable insight into real-world product performance that allows us to continuously improve appliance designs long after their initial release. Our commitment to quality spans the entire product lifecycle.

  • Voice control integration – We envision expanding voice assistant compatibility to enable hands-free control of appliances.
