Guys

I was going to buy a this set "Raymond Blanc by Anolon Professional 5 Piece Pan Set" and realised that they cannot be used on an induction hob which is what I'll have in my new flat

Anyone with an induction hob reccomend a good 5 peice set to the value of £100?

Many thanks

Mart

(Meyer) Circulon Stainless Steel Elite 5 piece set. You get four saucepans and a collander/steamer insert for £107 delivered. I have the set and it's very good. Should be very similar to the Anolon Raymond Blanc set and has the lifetime warranty as well.

Look at the stellar 6000 range instead. Almost identical to Meyer ones, not quite as heavy but still very good,

I have the square roaster and it's great. You can get them quite a bit cheaper than that website, just google for cheapest prices.

Will have a look at those thanks

Suitable for all cooker types excluding induction

Scanpan for the win, I've had Analon and it doesn't come close to Scanpan tbh

I've had some Analon Professional (Metal handles and glass lids) for over 10 years now, still going strong. Just treat them with a small amount of care and they'll last for yonks!

Wow they are expensive, I'd get one pan for £100 :eek:

Everything I look at states "excluding induction" I can see me having to put a new hob in when I get in there

I'd recommend this set, some of the suggestions on here aren't practical as they are ridiculously expensive :mad:

I have the skillet from this set and a saute pan also in the infinite range. They are really good pans just bear in mind you should keep the heat from going beyond medium as they are designed for even heat distribution and do not require as vigorous a heating as normal pans.

Whilst it's dishwasher safe I wouldn't put it in there myself and more importantly it's induction safe!

That's a nice set!

Found a 5 piece Stellar 6000 range for £124 so I think I may go with those...

Thanks for the input guys!

Just spoke to the seller and the hob is halogen, never cooked with one of those? Read that they are very hot or cool and take a while to simmer a pan?
