Cookware and bakeware are types of food preparation containers commonly found in the kitchen. Cookware comprises cooking vessels, such as saucepans and frying pans, intended for use on a stove or range cooktop. Bakeware comprises cooking vessels intended for use inside an oven. Some utensils are both cookware and bakeware.

The hulking stainless steel cooking pot, set up outdoors in downtown Caracas, contained about 3,960 gallons of "sancocho" stew.

The Infinite Cooking System is unique among cooking technologies. By generating a magnetic field, heat is created only when an electromagnetic element comes into contact with steel cookware. In short, the pot becomes the heating element while the cooktop remains cool.
