Kitchenware

Do you actually need an oklava when a Western rolling pin already sits in the drawer? For anyone rolling out yufka pastry or thin lavash dough at home, the answer is usually yes, and this range exists because Turkish cooking often calls for tools that a standard British kitchen simply does not stock.

What is in the range

123 products cover a wide mix of everyday kitchen essentials. Turkish Household supplies the traditional pieces, including a 59cm oklava rolling pin for thin pastry and a yellow kitchen towel, while Paşabahçe and Arzum lead on glassware and small appliances more broadly. A clay rice pudding bowl gives sütlaç its traditional finish, a tea strainer suits the everyday çay ritual, and fruit and bread knives from brands like GGS and Messermann handle daily prep and slicing. Household basics such as Ace bleach, pre-cut baking paper and fibre cleaning towels are mixed in too, since Turkish kitchens tend to combine cooking tools and general household supplies on the same shopping list.

Choosing, storing and using

An oklava is thinner and longer than a Western rolling pin, which is exactly why it works better for stretching yufka to a near-transparent thickness; keep it dry and away from the dishwasher to protect the wood. Clay dishes like the rice pudding bowl should be hand washed and dried fully before storing, as trapped moisture can affect the glaze over time. Fruit and bread knives are worth keeping separate, since a bread knife's serrated edge is not suited to fine fruit work. Buying a tea strainer alongside a teapot is a small but practical upgrade for households that make Turkish tea regularly.
