Bridal Cookware Sets

The çeyiz tradition

In Turkish families, the çeyiz is the collection of household goods a bride gathers for her new home: linens, tea and coffee sets, and above all a full set of cookware. Mothers and grandmothers often start buying pieces years ahead. Many families in Canada keep the custom, and a bridal cookware set is often its centrepiece because it gets used every day.

What an 18-piece set covers

Lids count as pieces, so an 18-piece set usually means a range of pots and pans in graduated sizes, each with a lid, plus a few extras. That is enough for daily meals, a crowded iftar table or a family gathering without borrowing pots. The exact pieces differ by design, so check the product page for the full list.

Choosing a design

• Plain gold: the Özlife ANKA has a clean gold look that suits modern and traditional kitchens alike.
• Decorated: the Özlife ISIL adds yellow accents for a more festive set that looks good on open shelves.
• Room to grow: if the couple already owns some pots, a 7- or 8-piece set may be enough. Compare them in our cookware sets.

Giving a bridal set as a gift

A cookware set is a generous gift from parents, siblings or a group of friends. Add something smaller to it, such as a Turkish coffee set or tea glasses, from our bridal and new home gifts. For more ideas at every budget, read our Turkish gift guide.

Shipping a large set

We pack each set at our Toronto shop and ship it with Canada Post to any address in Canada. You can send it straight to the couple, with shipping calculated at checkout. If anything arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours with photos and we will replace it or refund it in full. Unused sets in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days.

To round out the kitchen, a pressure cooker is a popular extra. See our pressure cookers.
