Dishwasher safe pots and pans

JamesO

Hello. I'm looking for a small set of dishwasher safe pots and pans ideally available online. I'm generally only cooking for me but I do sometimes make a larger meal that lasts a few days. 

I see sets that look decent but then when you read the reviews they only last a few months or aren't actually dishwasher safe hence looking for recommendations. Important thing is they need not to be heavy as I had an accident a while back and my grip isn't great. 

I'd like a small pan for beans/soup, a larger pan for things like potatoes and pasta, and a saute pan (I think - like a frying pan but with a lid?). It would be good if they all had lids, but that's not a dealbreaker. And if the potato pan had a steamer for veg that would also be useful as I could get rid of my steamer and save some cupboard space. 

Just a normal electric hob but I'm renovating the place so could go with gas or induction down the line (but that might not be for a few years so might be getting a new pan set then anyway). 

I've got some amazon vouchers from surveys to use, but also a budget of around £100 to buy somewhere else. I can push that if needed to get something that's actually going to last.

I find the Ikea 365 range a good buy.

I'd look at the IKEA 365 range - there's a 24cm lidded sauté pan

You can get a steamer insert for the main saucepan or use one of those folding steamers like this

Thank you. I actually meant on top (so I can do veg and pots at the same time) but that's two recommendations for ikea so definitely worth a look.

I'm a fan of Ikea's pots as well.  Just not a fan of going to Ikea!  

We have some from Sainburys as well but I find them much heavier generally.

I also recommend ikea. I have the big pan that has a steamer available for putting on top.  (Looks like the saute pan but has holes)
I also have the smaller pans.
Always in the dishwasher and have lasted really well.

I have seen ikea pans on Amazon but they are much more expensive than ikea.  As below.

They also do steamers you can stack on the pots if you'd prefer.

Pretty much any stainless steel pan will go in the dishwasher, look in charity shops, that;s where I've got a lot of mine from. And a skip but you'll be lucky to do that

Aslo look on fbmp, and ebay or gumtree. Build them up one at a time if you have to.

I do have the 24cm saute one from Ikea, got it a few weeks ago, its good, doesn't stick.

You could also have a look at the Nisbets essentials range or have a look at places that stock sets to see if there's an offer available e.g. Harts of Stur or Dunelm etc.
Other places I think it's worth looking are the big supermarket websites because Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose etc. often do deals with good manufacturers which then run for a short time only or Argos which has a good Habitat branded set on offer at the moment and clearance sections of places like John Lewis where I often see bargains going.
Good brand names to look out for are Vogue, Stellar, Judge, BBC Good Food, Tefal, Ninja, Circulon, Kuhn Rikon, Green Pan, Le Creuset, Samuel Groves, MasterClass, KitchenAid, Stoven, Prestige, Brabantia, Tefal, Tala Performance.

Le Creuset, 

Does Le Creuset not weigh a ton? Maybe they've introduced a lightweight range, but I've always avoided them ...

They have lighter stainless steel pans,  but I agree the traditional cast iron pans weigh a ton.
