Aaargh, I am looking for saucepans too (need to have stainless steel because am moving to a flat with an induction hob) and thought I had it all planned until you lot showed me these. fizzel81 I like the look of the set you have posted - for anyone else, here is the link, just don't buy them all before me and fizzel get a look in...

its definitely worth the investment in decent pans - they will last you years.

I would recommend riveted handles too - my mum had a set of cheap pans once with non riveted handles and I picked a pan of boiling gravy up and it went all over my foot as the pan came away from the handle.

Just to say that my cutlery is a viners set that my mum and dad were given as a wedding present (they got two sets) 42 years ago. They gave it to us when we got married. And they are still using their viners set as well.:D

I think when I want new saucepans I will look at viners. We got Tefal non stick ones for wedding gifts 6 years ago and they are already looking worse for wear!

Good luck SS with the moving out.

Just to add my experience,
I bought a set of Viners pans from an offer online. After a few months the copper bottom started to separate on the two smallest pans.
These pans came with a long guarantee but I had long discarded the receipt.
I emailed my findings and quickly received a paid label to return one of the affected pans for inspection.
This was quickly checked and I was invited to choose a full replacement set. I received this swiftly and all has been well since. I still use the pans they didnt want back!

So yes good pans and a good manufacturer.

Good customer service. However, I always scan my receipts for things with these very long guarantees. Receipts, especially the heat printed ones, fade over time.

I can't believe I'm getting so excited about a set of saucepans. :undecided

I'm more excited about getting these than my LCD tv! :rotfl:

You see, this is why I never help with the cooking.
