Im looking for advice on frying pans please, which is the best bang for buck, not wanting to spend much, no more than £100. Thanks for your advice.

Are you looking for a particular type eg cast iron, non-stick?
I have one I bought in IKEA years ago, they no longer seem to stock it, and it has been great. Cost less than £30.

Can you rule any out? Like no Teflon, must be stainless, preferred sizes etc.
If you don't want to spend much then Asda / Tesco have loads but I suspect you are looking for more than that, can you be more specific what it is you want?

It partially depends on your hob. Light alloy will not work on induction.
A personal preference is for a big pan or a set, depending on your pocket and space. Next, as I have induction, I have heavy pans so the iron content is high. Iron pans settle down with use and become almost perfectly nonstick.

We've got 2 large fry pans from Sainsburys, both with glass lids. One is about 14 inches across and 2 deep and the other 16 x 3. We also have a square griddle pan - no idea where that one was from. But it's nice to have something that can cook fatty meats but let the fat drain away.
2 omelet pans (why 2? so him indoors can make us both an omelet at the same time), 1 similar pan for fried eggs, and a 7 inch wok style pan - all of which were from TKMaxx. There's also a tiddly egg pan from Lidl suitable for doing a nice round fried egg to pop in a breakfast bun. And then there's a 10 inch cheapy pan (Lidl?) which I use for frying a bit of salmon on a Sunday morning.
We had le crueset pans in the past but they're too heavy for me to swing about easily. So that's 9 pans in total for use in a 2 adult household. Too many really but it's not as bad as our cutlery selection.

I'm thinking Stainless Steel so I could use it in the oven. I have a gas hob.

Space is an issue so really 1 is enough.

If you cook eggs then you need a pan specifically for them! If you've cooked bacon in a frying pan then eggs will stick when you try to fry them, scramble them or make an omelette!

Not interested in eggs, more interested in bacon and making a pizza and put into the pan and into the oven.
