I want to buy a good set of pans

Lifeisbutadream

I want to buy a set of 4 pans (ranging from milk pan to v large pan).

I am willing to pay up what I need to pay, but I really do not know what to get.

I really like cooking, and so they will be used every day, and I want them to last so I need something good quality.

I would appreciate any tips.

There is a 5 pack for about £100 you can google for it. e.g. link. I think I saw them in House of Fraser sales recently.

They are fantastic. Easily the most resilient pans I have ever used and we cook every day.

(forgot to add we cook on gas)

Hi Lifeisbutadream,

These older threads on the Old Style board might help:

Can anybody recommend decent saucepans?

I got these from HOF for £100 with a free skillet 2 years ago now, we abuse them to bits but they just keep going, the large flat pan lid did explode like bus stop glass when I put it on my draining board, but it made my waters break and they just sent me a new lid no fuss, they had never heard of it happening before but I think it was us taking them from the heat and dropping them in water for 2 years. We also buy le cruset, I have a big pot and a frying pan from them but they are heavy and I will need to add bits one at a time due to price, but they will never need replaced.

Hi

I'm on my second set of Tefal Resistal. My first set lasted 10 years and were still going strong when they went to university with my eldest son. The 2nd set now are 5 years old and still going strong ( I just stick them in the dishwasher, the outsides are a little scratched but the coatings are fine. I tend to replace the frying pan every couple of years usually at pancake time.

They are not cheap but not madly expensive and as you see they last really well.

I have had these now for about a year and wouldn't be without them. They are non-stick, metal utensil safe, can go in oven up to 500 degrees. They are very versatile and easy to clean. They also come with a lifetime guarntee. I also think they are god value for money too.

I got a set of Prestige pans about 4 years ago and they have been fab - still like new and that is withstanding my cooking!!!

They often have the sets on offer in Debenhams.
