Martha Stewart gave Jimmy Fallon a kitchen essential that 'cooks and looks better' than any other
The World of Martha has long shaped our culinary habits, and it would seem we're in good company


What happened when Jimmy Fallon entered the World of Martha? While it may seem like the lifestyle guru was on Jimmy's turf (she was a guest on The Tonight Show, after all), Martha invited the host to her eponymous world with a ticket in the shape of cookware.
The World of Martha, the official label of Martha Stewart's product empire, is our go-to for everything we could need for our homes – comprising 'housewares, kitchenwares, gadgets, and all the good stuff you’d need for your home' (she says in her own words). 'That’s what it’s all about,' she shared with Jimmy.
But what's an introduction to The World of Martha without a sample? The gift in question, Martha's Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 'cooks and looks better than any type of cookware' (according to the manufacturers), so, naturally, it's a safe choice. So, how did her choice go down?
Look at this. It comes all wrapped up. You buy this in 'The World of Martha', and I'm going to open it up,' Jimmy comments when he sees the beautifully wrapped package. While the host's reaction is jokingly unenthusiastic, we're almost certain this piece is already a staple in the Fallon household.
As hinted, this pot is as good-looking as we could hope for cookware, but its aesthetic qualities haven't hindered its practicality. The pot is highly responsive to heat for optimal conductivity and temperature control. From the base to the rim, the combination of copper, stainless steel, and aluminum evenly distributes heat for perfectly cooked, flavourful food – every time.
With this pot, the design details make all the difference in providing an enjoyable culinary experience. It exhibits tall, straight sides for maximum surface area, while the rolled edges promote drip-resistant pouring of oils, juices, and sauces. Plus, the flat stainless steel lid helps seal in heat and moisture.
Martha's kitchen offerings also include some of the best iron cookware and dinnerware on the market – so of course, we're not stopping with the pot. We're shopping our favorites below.
In Martha Blue, this Dutch Oven is an asset to any colored countertop – but in true World of Martha style, its qualities are far beyond its aesthetic. We love its durability – thanks to its cast iron construction that is said to distribute and retain heat evenly. It's noted as perfect for slow simmers, braising, stews, and casseroles because, of course, the desire for a warming winter dinner is still very much here.
Mastering the art of dining table styling is something that is important around the calendar – but with Martha's help, the process has never felt quite so seamless. The set comes in several colorways, but this white and blue combination is a timeless choice. The set includes four 11-inch dinner plates, four 8-inch dessert plates, and four 28oz bowls – perfect for intimate dinner parties (or larger affairs, if you take two sets).
When investing in – and organizing pots and pans – you could do far worse than following Martha's lead. She is a kitchen master, after all. So, unsurprisingly, her 10-piece stainless steel cookware set has a place among our favorite picks. We love that these pieces are made from an aluminum layer, designed to encourage uniform heat distribution to cook your favorite recipes evenly.
