which saucepans to buy?

You people do realise that I'm gonna be starting a thread for every single item I buy! :rotfl:

There will be greats such as;

Is this a good toilet brush?

Is this a good washing up bowl?

and

The epic journey of Me and my potato peeler.

Excellent - it will save me a lot of legwork for things that I will need when I move in three and a half weeks:T, you have already saved me some legwork on saucepan deals and the viners site had some good cutlery offers too so I am taking back some that I picked up on Sunday and will order some from Viners. Cheers mate, I love it when someone else puts in the effort and I can be lazy.

I know this should go on your other thread but I am on this one so... Have you looked at any flats yet??

IKEA (I know. Sorry.) - "Viren" - 69p

I bought a set of Viners stainless steel pans for about £35 over 11 years ago. They had a 10yr guarantee. Still going strong. Handles and knobs on lids are all still intact. Looking a bit drab now, but I'd bet there's still a good few years left in them yet

You only need two saucepans (1 litre & 2 litre capacity) and a frying pan (28cm diameter) - that's all I'm using at the moment.

Having said that, that Viners starter set is a real bargain. I'm sorely tempted now, but I don't know where I'd put it all.

I'm in a quandry now too. I think I've still got a take-away menu in the glovebox ...

.... 2 saucepans :eek: ? - what about Christmas Lunch ? No way could I manage that with only 2 pans!

My dad always insisted on 2 frying pans (50's/60's/70's) because he said that fish should only ever be cooked in the same pan that isn't used for anything else - mind you, that was back in the day of non-nonstick.

I have two frying pans myself, two different sizes. The big one is good for doing a fry-up all in one pan but then use the smaller one for the fried egg. I got them from Wilkos and they've never had stuck-on bits. Only ever had the inside wiped with kitchen towel - though the outside has had to have a hot 'soapy-water and green-scourer' treatment.

Hi

I'm after a bit of advice, we are getting married in October and my future father-in-law has given us £250 :j:j to buy some decent saucepans and i'm at a bit of a loss at where to start :rolleyes:, and i thought this would be the best place for this advice.

What would you all recommend?? What are your favourite makes??

I love cooking and having decent saucepans would make such a difference no more praying the handles wont fall off this time :eek::eek: would be good.

Hi snoopy_and_woodstock,

This thread may help: which pans to buy?

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

Congratulations :beer: Which pans you like depend on so many things I swear by cast iron Le Creuset, as I cook on a Rayburn. However, they're heavy and not for everyone

I'll add this to the existing thread on pans so that you can browse the ideas of others

Edit - I'll let speedy do the merging :rolleyes: :rotfl:
