Hi All,

Most dull of topics sadly, but in the last 5 years we have thrown out 3 sets of Pans because they just keep falling apart of getting ruined.

Can anyone recommend any which are built to last, fairly non-stick and cost £100ish or less? We only need a set of 3/4 and don't need a frying pan. Just about to get rid of our Morphy Richards which are terrible due to all the handles cracking.
 
1. Non stick.
2. Long lasting.

Pick one.

If you don't need a frying pan buy a 3/5 ply aluminium and stainless steel pan and keep it forever.
 
I have this set - can be bought for within budget from some retailers (no idea about linked retailer, just first I found on Google).

Definitely recommend the draining lids - so so handy.

Anything will stick if you let it but these are so easy to clean, oven safe and dishwasher safe. I've had them 3-4 years and apart from the frying pan which is just now starting to lose it's non-stick, it's the best set I've had.

I was going analon but so pleased I went stainless as it would have annoyed me not being able to sling in dishwasher.

I'm with Bignev, the raymond blanc anolon ones are pretty damn good.
We have the first released dark grey ones and theyre lasting very well

Keep an eye out for a discount code for debenhams and you can get quite good pans pretty cheap :)
 
Only used it once so far, but extremely good. Just like the hard anodized ones I've used before.

There website although slightly more expensive have lids for every size.

I needed one quickly as well and cheap. Supermarkets didn't have anything on offer so made use of prime.

This anything with a coating be it Teflon, hard anodised or ceramic will fail! Good quality triple ply stainless steel pans will last forever go and have a look in a professional kitchen!

We got s set of le cruset pans as a wedding present beautifully made and should last a lifetime!
 
Got a set of the Stellar 7000's for general use and some Circulon Infinite for non-stick duties (frying pans, a milk pan etc).

Really rate both - the circulon's weigh an absolute ton though. Really well put together! :)

Almost exactly the same here. Stellar 7000s and Circulon Elite. Having said that, all my frying pans are cast iron; simply because, they're better.
 
I've decided to get a high quality induction hob and decent carbon steel pan (without any non-stick as I want to season it myself). Any suggestions on either? :)
 
We bought a set of these about 18months ago and they are great so far showing no signs of wear and tear at all.

I know you don't need the frying pan but they do sets without or you can buy as individual items.
 
After buying numerous brand pans we decided to try a twenty year old second hand set of Le Creuset enamled pans - £120 from the Bay.

They're great! Non stick and built like tanks. The one weak point is the wooden handles which only due to their age are beginning to split. They don't make them anymore having changed material to Phenolic handles but I'm in the process of sourcing some NOS ones.

I fully expect them to last another twenty years.

Just got a Venice by GreenPan which is ceramic, impressed with it especially for the price and came with a lid, which is extremely usefull. First thing I noticed was how nice and solid the handle was compared to most cheaper pans that have unintended flexible handles.
and 250c safe

right I cant recommend this, in fact avoid it.

now I am in a shared house and everything gets used nd abused, but this is no longer non stick.

even cheap andoized aluminium pans last t least 18months before giving up. not what is it two.
