    Thanks will look at these. Strangely all seem to be with metal lid rather than gas. I wonder if they have got any special design to prevent lid handles from getting hot!

    thanks. i can probably extend our budget to £100/£120 if i can get good quality pans.

    any chance of a link to bosch ones? i googled and ones that came up didnt have any handles on pans so those are not for us.




    This has jolted my memory:


    When I bought my hob, I noticed that Bosch recommended two brands which were very expensive, so contacted them and asked what else they suggested. They said that they were not able to officially endorse any others (they sold the brands named) but suggested any good pan provided that it was strongly magnetic , then went on to least some.


    Stellar stuck in my mind so I Googled them and found that Horwood, Judge and Stellar are parts of the same company, which produces a wide range of qualities. I spoke to someone via the website and was advised that as I wasn't in need of professional grade, Judge was the brand to go for.

    hi

    we r planning to change our hob from ceramic to induction and so looking for new pans. did the magnet test and existing ones dont work.

    any recommendations on where to get a set of pans. budget around £75. looked at ikea ones but they have steel handles and steel lid which will get hot and so keen to avoid these, especially ones with steel lid.

    ta


    I have these Stellar pans:

    I read several threads on MSE before deciding to buy them. Comments from users were that they are very good quality and last for years.

    The handle on the glass lid doesn't get hot, nor does the pan handle.;)


    If you like them, search for the best prices (I bought some via Amazon) and you won't be disappointed.

    As many have said above Stellar/Judge are good. I have got Judge and have been pleased with them.

    Having said that.....

    Went on a training day not long ago where we all used induction hobs to cook egg fried rice amongst other things. The woks we all used came from Dunelm Mill and cost less than a tenner, so I do wonder if buying brand name pans is worth the extra? They worked perfectly well.

    Hi
    I bought a couple of cheap pans from Morrisons (they were said to be suitable for induction) prior to getting my induction hob. I believe they were £7 and £6. They have padded handles that don't get hot and glass lids. The lid has a metal handle which unfortunately does get hot.

    I find these pans fine and they do not perform any worse than the pans which came as a free gift with my hob, and they retail at around £140

    I recently bought a small Frying pan from Asda which complements my expensive pans. it was £13 and is guaranteed for 5 years.

    Hope this helps.
  • Have a look at Robert dyas http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/robert-dyas-stainless-steel-24cm-non-stick-frypan

    Got 6 pans inc 2 heavy large frying pans for about 80 a few months back. Often RD has sales on so I think we paid 68 + postage total.

    100% no problems - recommend!

    I got a Cook's Essentials non stick milk pan and Ready Steady Cook Imperial pans plus some others that have a logo of a lot of the letter c inside each other. Circulon? All quite cheap I think, I've had them for a bout 6 years and all are good as new. All have glass lids with plastic? handles and have a steam escape hole.

    Well, they aren't circulon, not sure what make they are.
  • The best stainless steel cookware has aluminum and copper cores sandwiched between the layers of steel on the inside and outside, which is a much better conductor of heat than the stainless steel itself.
