    I love my stellar 7000 pans, but their handles are quite slim and smooth which means a tight grip is needed for pouring the contents out, will you need pots with rubber or wide handles?

    I've recently bought a set of pots and pans from Pro Cook. Specifically, I bought a set of four stainless steel pots for boiling stuff like veg and a couple of granite non-stick pots for when I'm cooking stuff like scrambled egg.

    If you wait for a sale, you can get the sets at a good price and they are really good and worth the money imo. Definitely better than the stuff you get from Ikea. I got a the set of 4 stainless steel pots for £75 in the December sale to give you an idea of cost.

    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.
    Plus their prices are eye watering/not very MSE.

    Why are people picking up on le crueset? Which was one brand in a big list, within a helpful post.

    Why not just answer the OP?

    I answered the query in the first post, pointing the OP at the very affordable IKEA 365 range. 

    Most of our pans are IKEA 365, but we also have a Ninja frying pan, and a stainless steel Le Creuset saute pan / egg poaching pan as we wanted a smaller saute pan than the IKEA version.

    I use the dishwasher for all my pots, pans, and crockery & cutlery.
    I will only use STAINLESS STEEL (not non-stick so there is nothing to peel off or damage).
    Wire wool pads will remove stubborn stains before the DW.
    I use 1/2 a cheap DW tablet (CUT in HALF, with the anvil type garden pruners), and glass wear ends up with less bloom (discolouration and fogging). 
    Having rinsed off most of the food first, everything comes out sparkling.

    Remember, regularly top up RINSE AID, and SALT.
    Clear the filters regularly - if you don't just rinse before loading.
