What Cookware does Jamie Oliver use at home
Ever wondered what’s in Jamie Oliver’s kitchen? Like, when the camera’s are off, he’s at home, cooking up a basic family meal, what does he use? Well if you have then you’re in the right place.
Recently I wrote an article on what’s in Gordon Ramsay’s home kitchen. Now, I’m at it again with one of my favourite T.V chef’s, Jamie Oliver.
I’ve scoured through the web, Youtube and Jamie Oliver’s social media, looking for cookware, kitchen equipment and kitchen tools that show up time and time again in his home, all to compile this list.
So if you’re looking to kit out your kitchen the Jamie Oliver way, keep on reading. And oh, when you’re done, don’t forget to check out some of my favourite Jamie Oliver recipes which I’ve published right here on Smartblend.
Jamie Oliver’s Enamel Tray
As you can probably imagine, Jamie Oliver has a lot of different cookware around his home. However, when it comes to baking trays and roasting tins, there is one that shows up time and time again. Just have a scroll through his Instagram and you’ll see it pop up constantly with his tray bakes.
That tray is the one pictured above, that lovely white tray with a pale blue rim, and well, ive done some digging and found exactly what it is.
The tradition roasting tin and baking tray used by Jamie Oliver at home is this blue and white enamel tray.
Found on amazon.co.uk for £25.99, as well as amazon.com for $29.99.
What Food Processor Does Jamie Oliver Use?
Okay so this was a difficult one. Jamie Oliver uses a food processor more then any of chef I’ve seen.
He’s said in the past that a food processor is a quintessential kitchen gadget. Now, he has his own cookware with tefal which we will get into further in this article. But he doesn’t seem to use a tefal food processor.
Then I seen that a few years back he partnered up with Phillips and was using their food processor. But any image of his own kitchen I seen I couldn’t place that one.
So basically, I went to his YouTube looking through all the videos which he filmed at home to see which food processor is used in his actual home, not on some set somewhere.
And after hours of investigation and wondering what the hell I’m doing and why I’m doing this, eureka! I found it.
The above screenshot was my first clue and the same brand came about time and time again, both from videos uploaded this month, to videos uploaded 9 years ago. Meaning it’s safe to say he has been using the same brand for a very long time.
(sorry I did you dirty with those screenshots Jamie)
The food processor used by Jamie Oliver is non-other then the Magimix. But not just any Magimix, it’s this one on amazon.co.uk for £299.95. Or for Americans, this one right here on amazon.com for $429.99.
Jamie Oliver’s Pestle and Mortar
Jamie Oliver loves to use a pestle and mortar and for good reason, as he says its your “gateway to flavour”
The pestle and mortar that Jamie Oliver uses is a sleek granite finished pestle and mortar which you can pick up cheaply on amazon.co.uk for £16.99, or for all you american’s, on amazon.com for $38.99.
The Pots and Pans used by Jamie Oliver
Pots and pans can be quite the rabbit hole to get into. Before you even begin to consider the brand you want you need to sort out what style of pan you’re going to even need and which ones are going to be taking up space in the back of your kitchen cupboard.
So I wont just tell you which pots and pans Jamie Oliver uses, but the exact type and what they do so you can determine whether or not it would be a good fit for you, because at the end of the day it’s all well and good me telling you to get a large 9 litre stock pot but if you’re only going to use it once then its not really that helpful, is it?
In his own kitchen, Jamie Oliver uses pots and pans from the brand Tefal. Which he uses both in a professional manner and for daily use.
Jamie Oliver is also quoted on the Tefal website stating “I’ve been working with Tefal for nearly two decades now. I just love their pans – they’re my go-to at home for everyday cooking.”
Its worth noting that he also has his own line of pots and pans with Tefal, which I’m sure is really good money for him, but if you’re a professional chef who makes a living being in the spot light, you’re not going to compromise that by putting your name on shabby cookware for a quick couple of quid.

Frying pans will be essential to your pots and pans equipment list. It’s a versatile piece of kit which you will use time and time again, there’s no doubt that whether you cook meals from scratch daily or rarely cook at all, your frying pans will see the most action in your Kitchen.
The Tefal frying pans are ones we see Jamie Oliver use time and time again so if there’s any one thing you take from this article, its the Tefal Frying pan.
Tefal Stockpot
Tefal 6.5 litre large stock pot - £51.78 amazon.co.uk
When it comes to stews, stocks or soups, Jamie Oliver uses the Tefal stock pot.
This isn’t going to be necessary for everyone, its a 6.5 litre pot so it fits a lot in. Unless you have a large family, you won’t be getting daily use out of this.
However, with that being said, this stock pot is perfect if you want to cook in bulk. A large stew cooked on Monday will last you the whole week. Great for if you have a busy life, are lazy in the kitchen or just want to save some money cooking in bulk.
Tefal Saute Pan

Tefal non-stick saute pan with lid - $53.99 amazon.com
A saute pan is your middle ground between a sauce pan and frying pan. Very similar in use to a frying pan with the difference being that a frying pan or skillet has slanted sides whereas a saute pan has straight sides. You can think of it like a deeper frying pan or shallow sauce pan.
These are perfect for cooking a multitude of foods so is something I highly recommend.
Jamie Oliver uses Tefal saute pans which is what we have here.
Tefal Set
Tefal essential set - £89.99 amazon.co.uk
Tefal essential set - $102 amazon.com
If your goal is to throw all your old tired pots and pans out to replace them all, your best bet will be to get a set. You’ll get one of each essential and the price will be a lot cheaper.
Now you have the kitchen essentials that Jamie Oliver has in his own kitchen, its time to make some Jamie Oliver dishes. Some tasty options from Jamie Oliver are ones I’ve replicated here on Smartblend. Check them for your next meal time inspiration.
If none of those take your fancy, I recommend picking up a Jamie Oliver cook book. There’s no doubt he’s a cookbookaholic. He releases a whole lot of them, but my favourites come down to just 2…

This is his cookbook which focuses on certain popular and easy to get ingredients such as eggs, fish, chicken etc. then shows you 7 different meal recipes with that ingredient.

Jamie Oliver Veg
The next cookbook you need from Jamie Oliver is ‘veg’. This is his vegetarian cookbook that I recommend even to meat eaters.
