stainless steel obvs. tesco used to do a good basic set.
All-clad are great all rounders. Quality and durable.
Plus one for Meyer.
Also le creuset obvs.
Le creuset. Meyer also a good shout.
I find le creuset too heavy
De Buyer and Le Creuset.
John Lewis own brand stainless steel are fine m5.
ProCook Granite
Stainless steel, but pretty much any brand will work - I've had the Tesco set mentioned above for a couple of years and they're great, actually.
Is stainless steel not quite sticky tho?
LOL at Le Creuset as a recommendation for saucepans. They're about £100 a pop for bog standard stainless steel.
If you want non-stick, Procook is a good shout. Extra £20 off until end of today on their own website...
What kind of hob do you have?
No, you'd think that, but actually it's quite hard to get things to stick unless you let them burn or forget to put oil in before your onions. (Frying pans you do need to be non-stick, though, especially if you want to make pancakes, drop scones or soda bread in them

Depends if you want to live rofstyle but the sainsbury rec is a good one, we've had one of their copper bottomed pans for about 15 years, still in great condition
Yep, definitely decent quality and not stupid prices.
I’ve had the copper bottom separate from two of those Sainsbury’s copper bottom pans, but they are decent value if you get them in a sale and don’t expect them to last forever. I have some thinner non-stick pans from there that I like as well. For stainless steel that lasts I would go Meyer or John Lewis
Sorry forgot thread. Yes I was going to say the Sainsbury's ones too
Thank you!
Do you know, had never thought about it before but what are the advantages of metal lids? I like glass lids cos you can check things aren't burning without lifting lid.
hard anodysed for the non stick and then it won't leach chemicals into yr fud and won't scratch.
And a nice big saute pan with small handles either side (no long one) which can tehn go into the oven is a right old bonus.
Cant go too far wrong with a tefal tbh. We have some still from our wedding list that have survived the slings and arrows of our misadventures, but I cant recall the make. Began with an A and was from john lewis.
Budget?
My Meyers are still fab 10 years later
