induction cookware

why is it so flippin hard to find induction stuff?

Looking for induction pans and lids (not pots), griddles, woks. Preferably black or dark grey with soft touch handles and should be ~£20-25 per piece. Felt like I've searched everywhere you'd normally look for them but there's always something missing! Either they don't come with lids, they're not dishwasher safe, they don't have matching pans, woks or griddles, they're a horrible stainless steel or chrome finish or they're not induction capable. And what is out there, is grossly overpriced! wtf?

Depending on your point of view of overpriced, I have the John Lewis Classic II set and think they are well made and therefore good value.

Edit: What do you mean by a horrible stainless steel? All stainless steel is horrible?

Yeah, I'd just buy some nice stainless steel gear - nothing horrible about good quality stainless.

John lewis do a range of black stuff with rubbery handles in among their induction choices, if that's your thing;

By way - there is no such thing as cheap induction cookware. :eek:

If it is cheap it's crap

Tower do ok stuff. I got a 5 set after catching a promotion on TV for about £50. Ceramic as well.

Or could pop into Home Sense. They always have a good selection of single pots and pans if you're not after a full set.

Anolon Nouvelle works with induction is hard anodised and non-stick, safe with metal tools it's well worth the investment. However one pan cost me £110 but it will last forever 15 year guarantee

The circulon genesis plus seem to meet most of the requirements, only things they seem to lack is a soft touch handle and a griddle pan option, i don't really think non-stick suits griddle pans, but the ability to place the pan in a hot oven due to no soft touch handles can be very handy. http://www.hartsofstur.com/acatalog/Circulon-Genesis-Plus-Hard-Anodised-Cookware.html

Wish they did this set in a better colour

Its really not too bad, great quality to the pans as well, love the built in strainers on the lids.

I got my pots and pans for my induction hob from IKEA and I'm really happy with them.

I got the pots from ikea (golden brown ones with black soft touch handles) but the pans (skanka) are not induction capable. Which pans did you get??
