New set of pans

I am looking for a new set of pans but I want to invest in something that is quality and will last for quite a while. Any recommendations?

At the moment I have the Le Creuset pans and find them to be terribly heavy when they have got something in them. I am having a bit of trouble with my wrists giving way sometimes. Also food catches on the bottom of my Le Creuset pans and they have to be soaked for ages before the residue comes off.

I have seen a set of Tefal Jamie Oliver pans in Costco which I thought would be good quality (celebrity chef putting name to it) but the pans didn't have non-stick. Would these Tefal ones be any different for food sticking?

Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    OH likes the Circulon 2, or preferably the Analon Professional. In the Debenhams sale they tend to have a "full set" knocked down from £200 to £100. The ones that we have are fantastic, and I wouldn't consider using anything else now.

    We we're given a set of pans for our wedding present. We were grateful for them !
    They were the cheapest, naffest set of pans you ever saw. They were just ordinary steel pans without the non stick part.

    Because we knew they were they had no non stick, we took more care not to burn anything in them.

    ....still got them after 12 years !!!!

    Having said that.......they dont get tested by OH very much ! :whistle:
    I do most of the cooking round these parts !!
