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 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.
