We make it our business to bring innovation to the world, and it's you that has access to it first. We are thrilled we can be so close to our early adopters. While we always do our best to set realistic timelines, with innovation often comes unpredictable challenges. We suggest that you only back our new launches if you are willing to go on our innovative journey with us – which may encounter speed bumps and unexpected delays from time to time. Otherwise, you are best to wait for the pieces to reach our online 'buy now' store, as by that stage, we have ironed out the manufacturing method. The Solid supporters who trust us to deliver on our promises are rewarded with lowest-ever pricing, earliest production dates and numbered in series for the highest value in heirloom collectables.
Thank you for your solid support, and for helping us continue to bring new, world-leading Australian-made kitchenware innovations to life. ❤️
Please note, Lovers launches are excluded from our affiliate program. No further discounts apply.
At this stage, it’s unfortunately looking like our Lovers Edition 25cm Chef/Carving Knives will be delayed by a couple of months. Due to their hand-crafted nature and larger size, it is taking longer than we anticipated for our artisan team to individually hand-forge the hundreds of knife castings. Our artisan team is also simultaneously working through the final hand-grinding and hand-sharpening stages of our First Edition 11cm USG knives (from Kickstarter), and are working as hard and fast as possible to get both those knives and our Lovers Edition 25cm Chef/Carving Knives ready.
We know this isn’t the update you were hoping for. Unexpected delays and bumps in the road are unfortunately part of the initial production journey when creating new innovative products. We appreciate your understanding, and you joining us on this journey – we promise it will be worth it when your new forever chef/carving knife does arrive!
As we progress through the next stages of production, we will send out another update to ensure you are kept in the loop, and will adjust the new ETA as we gain a better idea of when they are estimated to be ready to ship.
Thank you for your solid support and patience, Lovers.
Your Lovers Edition AUS-ION Roasting Pans are now in the final stages of production, and are currently being shot blasted and seasoned! Once they’ve completed this process, they will be sent to our warehouse, where the team there will begin packing and shipping the hundreds of orders out to you all.
At this stage, we are still hopeful that we will start shipping your new forever roasting pans by the end of this month – providing there are no hold ups during the seasoning process. As always, we will keep you updated if our estimated timeline changes. While we work through the final stages of production, we recommend having a quick read of our Getting Started page, so you know how best to care for your AUS-ION Roasting Pan when it arrives.
Please note: Due to the hundreds of orders we received for our new AUS-ION Roasting Pan, it will likely take our team a few weeks to get them all packed and shipped. So, while we are expecting to start shipping at the end of the month, some of you may not receive your shipping notification until early October. We will be working as fast as possible to get them all shipped!
We know you're all excited for these very special pieces to arrive, and to finally get cooking with them yourselves! Here's another behind-the-scenes shot from chef Mark LaBrooy's recent visit to our founder Mark Henry's farm – cooking over the fire in our AUS-ION Roasting Pan off-tooling sample:
We appreciate your solid support while we get your AUS-ION Roasting Pans ready for many lifetimes of cooking!
We have opted to slightly tweak the tooling for the Removable Handles, making them even more durable, which means production will unfortunately be delayed a little longer. We are now expecting our Lovers Edition Removable Handles to be ready to start packing and shipping by late October.
We know this new timeline is much later than we’d expected and hoped they’d be ready, and we understand this isn’t the update many of you were hoping for. As we work to bring these world-first pieces to life, we want to ensure that we get the final product right, so you all receive a Removable Handle that is functional and durable to last many lifetimes alongside your HEX Pans.
If you previously elected to have your HEX Pans held and shipped with your Removable Handle when they’re ready, we are more than happy to split ship your HEX Pans, separate to your Removable Handle, so you can get cooking with them sooner. If you’d like us to make this change to your order, please email our customer service team so they can help arrange this for you: info@solidteknics.com
We appreciate your solid patience and understanding, while our team works hard to get your new Removable Handles ready. It is always an exciting (and sometimes unpredictable!) journey when manufacturing a new cookware innovation, and we are honoured to have your support as you join us for the journey. ❤️
We will provide further updates as our design tweaks are implemented and we continue progressing through production, closer to shipping.
We are officially in the final stages of producing your new Lil Grippas, and our manufacturing partner in Sydney is working as fast as they can to get them ready for you all. The good news is that we now have another manufacturing partner involved in this project, so we can get through production as quickly as possible. It’s beautiful to watch two Aussie manufacturing partners collaborating together to bring our Lil Grippa to fruition.
As we mentioned in our previous update, we underestimated the complexity of the tooling project for this particular piece, which put us a little behind schedule. Unfortunately, we are now expecting a slightly further delay, with shipping now estimated to be mid August.
We appreciate your solid support and patience as we work hard to get your Lil Grippas ready for a lifetime of cooking. We will be back with another update closer to shipping.
Our Lovers Edition Flexi Flippas (and 'Mystery Product') have finally completed the final stages of production, which means we are expecting to start shipping next week!
It was quite a journey to bring this world-first innovation to life, with some unexpected bumps along the way. We truly appreciate your solid support and understanding throughout the entire production process, and we can't wait to finally get these special heirloom pieces into their new forever homes with you all!
Our Solid team at our Sunshine Coast head office will be packing and shipping these pieces, and we will work as fast as possible to get them shipped and on their way to you all. In the meantime, we recommend having a quick read of our Kitchen Tools Care page, so you know what to do when your Flexi Flippas arrive!
Thank you for your patience and ongoing support, Lovers. Keep an eye on your inbox for the notification that your new Flexi Flippa is on its way!
We are progressing nicely through the hand-sharpening of your 11cm USG and 15cm Usudeba knives! As each small batch is finished diligently by hand, they are then hand delivered to our Sunshine Coast head office team, for packing and shipping.
Keep an eye on your inbox for your shipping notification, letting you know when yours are on their way! Make sure you have a read of our Söliditi™ Care Page so you know what to do and expect when they arrive.
Thank you for your solid support, and enjoy your new forever knives when they arrive. Happy cooking (and chopping)! ❤️

We know you're all excited for these very special pieces to arrive, and to finally get cooking with them yourselves! Here's another behind-the-scenes shot from chef Mark LaBrooy's recent visit to our founder Mark Henry's farm!
We are currently on track with production, so are still hopeful that we will start dispatching your rewards by the end of this month. Please note with the volume of roasting pans to ship, the packing and shipping process may take a week or two. We can’t wait for you all to receive these special heirloom pieces, and to see them being put to work in your kitchens!
Once you receive your roasting pan, here's a great page to read through and keep on hand: www.solidteknics.com/ironcare
We’ll be back with another update when we do started shipping, so you know to keep an eye out for your shipping notification.
