Decent but cheap set of non stick pans

I was looking at the Scoville pan with lifetime guarantee Asda was offering but i have no clue so i thought i would ask
this just isnt true as long as you take some mediocre care about them. True non-stick is also far better than either cast iron or carbon steel for day to day use, although I would still have a cast iron pan in my cupboard for something.
i'm partial to hard anodized which will last several years easily when looked after and pans are cheap anyway. Look for ones with a decent weight to them and a metal handle.
like these

(although i don't think that's hard anodised on the inside, some perpriatry system)
my goto used to be anolon professional, but they have now thinned the pans out and put rubbish handles on.
even tefal you should easily get a year out of them, even witout care and they are often 50% of in supermarkets.

would not buy these again, the older ones I had failed per the pictures in last weeks similar threa
... Read that thread too
ikea 365+ look good to me ... especially if I had a nearby store, so could use the 5 year guarantee if needed.
For a start those aren't anolon, secondly what the hell have you done to yhem, to be that colour.
101 - circulon and analon are both hard anodized pans form Meyer with tefal autograph non-stick eg
typically £25/pan, with concentric troughs on circulon.
anyway, as commented, (&despite no metal utensils) they do not seem to last better than cheaper £15 pans - what I bought last time from other thread

Lots of things are made by same big company. And I they do not end up looking like yours. I've owned anolon pans for a decade.
Again what did you do to it?
maybe used once a fortnight over 3 years, gas hob, frequently apple fritters (sweet/acidic) or frying chicken, with rapeseed, not overheated, but point heat on gas could be high,
and the non-stick (articulated) surface, same as analon, does not release well - hand washed, pre-soak boiling water+fairy, nylon pad.
.... maybe fruit sugar is just the most 'corrosive'
... just noted analon is not induction ... it is exclusively aluminium ?, unlike circulon with stainless combo ??? (but the pros don't use induction)

Yeah that just doesn't happen. They realise everything. For it to get in that state you can not of done what you said.
Seems they've received released the old version which is indeed non induction.
The new style induction ready ones have non metal handles and have less metal.

I'm no expert chef but a few years ago the wife and I needed non stick frying pans - I did loads of research and in the end we thought let's go to the shops and see what we like.
Long story short we eventually landed up in John Lewis and saw their Eaziglide range which I hadn't heard of before - they seemed perfect and cheap enough. Ended up buying 3 frying pans and I have to say they have been brilliant for the money spent - no metal utensils used and hand washed only so your mileage may vary. Had them for about 3 years now and the non stick is still all there but not as effective any more - as I said for 3 years this is good taking into account their price
Consider Eaziglide a go

There's usually only two or three things to go more expensive on non stick,which depending on what people cook may not even be important.
You pay for thicker bases usually which have better best distribution.
How hot they are rated to especially oven. La lot of chepaers ones are only good to around 200c if they can go in the oven at all, where you can get ones up around 265c.
Linked to the above two, handel's, cheaper pans usually have lower temp or no oven handels.

I had a set of Meyer Select Advantage Enamel pans which were great for the price but don't work on Induction.
Just bought a set of Circulon Infinite's which so far seem even better. Quite pricey but if you watch on Amazon, they sometimes get reduced down to about £100 for a full set inc. 2 frying pans.
