Furniture / Household Appliances / Instruction Manual
English term or phrase: ...the cookware...
I need a good translation for the word "cookware". There are several phrases on a care manual for a pot or pan from IKEA. I searched on other databases for the Spanish translation and got "Los utensilios" which doesn't sound right since it is only giving care instructions for one cookware and not various.

Phrases: "Before using the cookware for the first time, wash, rinse and dry carefully."
"The cookware is dishwasher safe."
"Always leave the cookware to cool before cleaning it."

Any ideas will help. Thank you.

Explanation:
Seguramente cookware no se refiere a una batería completa de cocina, sino a una pieza en particular. Según la descripción o ilustración que tenga el manual (o que podrás encontrar en Google, si el archivo que te han enviado no tiene ilustraciones) te darás cuenta si se trata de tal o cual pieza

la batería (de cocina)


Explanation:
When you want to refer to only one pot of the cookware, then you say "una pieza de la batería de cocina".

menaje (de cocina)


Explanation:
Y si te refieres a algo más general, que incluya fuentes para el horno y esosi usan la misma frase para distintos manuales, opta por algo neutro como menaje.
