La Cuisine Deal! 4 piece Analon pan set. £88. Debenhams.

Wow they're efficient! They've already dispatched them and my cashback has shown up.
So the pots cost a grand total of £76.80 early this morning and they should be delivered by tomorrow, or Friday latest.
Shame I sent them home rather where I am. Can't use them until July/August!
 
I had just bought the twin frying pan set and they are very good..also picked up the santoku knife just to take me over the 50 quid to get free postage from the company I bought them from
they just feel like a good quality item and clean up very easily
 
Damn you! Just buying now, the wife will go NUTS!

I've got a large Anolon stock pot and a 14cm milk pan as well, most used pans in the kitchen. I bought a spare 14cm as well a few years back, I don't think it will ever make it out of the box!
 
Not wanting to urinate on anyone's deep-fried potatoes, but this isn't exactly a 'once in a lifetime' unmissable deal. In fact, it's an offer that crops up pretty regularly - especially where Debenhams are concerned, anyway.

The better deal, at least from where I'm sitting, is the five-piece pan set which includes the 14cm Milk Pan and a slightly smaller frying pan, albeit one with a deeper 'lip' and therefore more suitable as an all-rounder. This can be picked up for £99 with free delivery and, usually, a little additional discount on top from various places.

When all is said and done it works out about the same price as this four-piece deal if you bought the milk pan separately, but you get the better frying pan with the five-piece set. However, your mileage may vary, etc etc.

And don't worry if you miss out on this deal - it'll come round again very soon. In fact, it's sometimes harder to find it not on offer at Debenhams. Hell, I've got two unused sets I need to sell - someone can have those if things get desperate.

Oh, and for all those that have bought and want to know how to look aft the pans, there are a few rules to follow - some of which you won't get told about by Meyer in the official leaflet:

1. Wash them in warm, soapy water before using and 'season' with a light vegetable oil before use. I'd recommend re-seasoning these on a regular basis - just wipe the non-stick parts of the cold pan with a piece of kitchen towel and a little oil.

2. Don't scrub them with anything abrasive - use 'non-scratch' scouring pads or cloths only and test before first use. The easiest way to knacker the non-stick coating is to scrub it off with a harsh scouring pad and you'll not notice the damage until the pan stops being non-stick.

3. Don't get oil on the hard-anodised outside part of the pans if at all possible, or wipe off as soon as you do - otherwise it will soak in and slowly ruin the surface.

4. Wipe excess oil/grease out of the pan before washing and allow them to cool before plunging them in hot water - this is essential for longevity and stops the non-stick surface lifting.

5. Be very careful of the lids when in use - they get stupidly hot and aren't the best seal in the world either, so watch for steam jetting out onto your hands when you fiddle with them.

6. Only use wooden or silicone utensils in these pans, never metal. Metal utensils will both scratch the non-stick surface, leading to lifting, and wear it away, leading to loss in performance.

7. If cooking on an electric or ceramic hob, make sure the rings are clean and free of any oil or dirt - the bases of these pans 'suck' up warm oil and grease and this damages them rather quickly.

8. Store the pans in a cupboard lined with a piece of felt or cloth if possible - the bases don't like getting scratched. Lakeland do a great set of pan protectors if you want to store them stacked.

9. The sides of these pans are very thin and don't take to being dropped, knocked or bumped against things. Especially when they are hot.

10. When cleaning, pay careful attention to the metal rivets in the pan - they are a dirt magnet and easily missed when washing up. You don't want the remnants of the last thing you cooked dribbling out into the next one, do you?
 
Debenhams usually sell it, but they must have a job lot of the 4-piece in at the moment. I know my local store has a couple on the shelves.

This is the set in question. And very good it is too, much like the one you've recently purchased.

Ah, very similar indeed except adding the milk pan.

Even if you buy it separately, the milk pan is all-but essential in my eyes. It's just so damn useful and perfectly sized.

I've moved to Circulon pans from the RB Anolon, neatly completing a 180° change of opinion in the process, and the milk pan is the only thing I miss from my old set.
 
Good post glitch. Definitely going to take care of these more than I have with my cheap wok. Sticking it in water before letting it cool is probably the reason why the base is warped!

#7 is going to be annoying because I live with others. That means cleaning the hob every time I use it!
 
I just put the lids on upside down on the pans, and then store them on top of each other. I reckon that would be fine, no?
