Cristel Pans

I know not strictly money saving.

I have lusted after these pans for several years and am on the verge of making a purchase. Cristel make three types of pans that they call removables, the handles detach. Classique, Luxe or Multiply.

Luxe are the most popular ie easiest to find, these are three ply and are stunning to look at, Multiply are 5 ply. They are both available in Harrod's.

One of the things that appeals to me is that each pan stacks inside each other like a child's toy, excellent when short on space.
The pans that are just about to bite the dust are Circulon Commercial which I have had for about 18 - 20 years - come with a lifetime guarantee but to be honest are a) a bit heavy now and b) the innards look a bit knackered.

I have recently trialed Stellar eazistore but didn't like them, pan lids difficult to clean and not the quality of the above but then they were only £95 (lakeland) for the set so what can you expect.

I was all set to press the button when I got talking to a lady in the Salamander store and she threw three other makes into the mix - Couzon Cuisinox Elysee

Fissler Cookware (Original Pro)

Le Pentole Stainless Steel

She has the Couzon ones herself and she says they do stack inside each other (although not in the same way the Cristel ones do). She has a friend who has the Cristel and loves them. So I am now very torn.

If anyone out there has any of these pans I would be glad to hear your comments on them.

Thanks

Am I the only one who has heard or knows anything about Cristel cookware.
