kitchenware

Pots and spatulas

Kitchenware is the collective term for tools, utensils, and equipment used in cooking and food preparation: pots, pans, knives, cutting boards, mixing bowls, and the like.

The word distinguishes these functional items from tableware (dishes for serving and eating) and appliances (powered devices like blenders or toasters).
