potware

noun

Plural:   potwares

An individual or collective name for pans, pots, and other vessels used for cooking, frying or baking.

Examples: 

Depending on the amount and shapes of potware we own and the models of ovens or hotplates available, we have to figure out our own approach to the multi-plate challenge.  Say, we need plenteous pans.  As makeshift, we can use shoal pots instead.  Pancakes don't know whether they are being slow-roasted in a flatpan or in a casserole, wok, saucepan, or laver (but we avoid non-cooking containers posing the threat of toxic varnishes, thermolabile paints, harmful metals, etc∙).  (Source: J∙ Okram - Bartonian Potato Pancakes  ●  Cooking Recipe.)
