Full question

Hi, I collect pretty crockery, and I wondered if you could tell me where I could buy the gorgeous pink dishes used in the pictures for your Indian-Spiced Shepherd's pies in Simply Nigella please?

Where did Nigella get the red and white christmas cake stand that the Spruced Up Vanilla Cake is sitting on? Tara.

I have often seen Nigella use a black frying pan with the handle the same material as the pan, almost looks like its made in one complete piece. Nigella used it in her Simply Nigella programme where she cooked the chicken escalopes. Please can you advise where I could get this from? Kindest regards, Ann.

What make was the matte black frying pan that Nigella used in the Caesar Salad on Simply Nigella? Thank you!

Who makes the black pan handlers Nigella is using? Thank you.

Hi there! Where can I find the grill tray Nigella used to cook her lamb ribs on? It looked really unusual with the lattice effect rack, and I can't find one anywhere. Please help.

Can you tell me which size Magimix Nigella uses in the new series? Thanks

Please can you tell me the make of freezer Nigella has in her kitchen on the current series of Simply Nigella? I've been looking for a freezer with drawers and this one looks great. Many thanks. Sarah.

Can you tell me where Nigella's green pancake warmer came from (pictures in the Home-Made Instant Pancake Mix recipe)?

Our answer

The ovenproof dishes used for the Indian-Spiced Shepherd's Pie originally came from the London store Divertimenti. Unfortunately Nigella bought the dishes some time ago and they have since been discontinued.

The read and white cake stand was bought by Nigella several years ago and we think that it may have come from the US, but unfortunately has most likely been discontinued. We would suggest keeping an eye out on auction websites for something similar.

The black frying pan used by Nigella was made by Alessi and is from the Mami range. The model number was SG110/30B. Unfortunately it appears that this may have been discontinued, though there are one or two still available from on-line sources.

The pan handlers used by Nigella are made by Kitchen Grips. For a retailer in your region please check on the "where to buy" section of their website.

The rack used for the lamb ribs is a Kitchen Aid dehydrating tray (KAOR010 - 481010327069). It is available from Kicteh Aid and via some of their dealers. However please check the dimensions first as it is a large rack and may not be suitable for all ovens.

Nigella's Magimix is a standard mid-sized version so the bowl has a 3 litre capacity.

Nigella's fridge/freezer is made by KitchenAid. They have several models and styles so we suggest checking their website for further details.

Nigella's pancake warmer is actually a silicone tortilla warmer and is made by Silicone Zone. It is currently available in the US via Amazon or please contct the company direct via the contact details on their website.
