Pots n Pans?! - SV650.org

JamesMio · 30-09-10, 01:16 PM

One for any cooks / chefs on here, we're about to move into our new pad (at last!) and I'm about to invest in some decent cooking kit.

The cheapy Tesco's stuff I'd had in the past almost always either falls to bits or goes rusty.

All I want is a decent set of stainless steel pots & pans to get me started, but there's so much to choose from my head hurts!

Can anyone point me in the right direction please!?

Aga related pans are good, anything with a good thick base to it...

Lecrouse, not steel but will last forever

Analon make good sets, four pans and a frying pans, all heavy duty, anodised aluminium and none-stick. Mine are about 10 years old now and are literally, as good as new.

First site I found listing the current version, may be cheaper elsewhere.

Can't reccommend them enough!

www.nisbets.com.uk sell catering stuff at a good price so may be worth a look.

Stellar 1000 Cookware is very good IMO. I know you seem to see it everywhere constantly on 'sale' and might make you think it's iffey, but I have had my pans over 12 years now, constantly in use, washed in the dishwasher and they still look great. Nothing has broken or worn out on them. You get a good even heat across the base, safe for the oven, etc. The only pan I have replaced is the non-stick fry pan, the non-stick wore out from someone using metal utensils on it (grrrr). I still use that pan for sauté-ing stuff and keep the new non-stick pan for eggs and the like that need non-stick.

I have added to my basic pan set over the years, so I have a full matching set of everything I need.

Something like this is worth it IMO - http://www.ecookshop.co.uk/ecookshop...id=S1D1&m=4&d=

I just bought a 4piece set of le cruiset 3ply stainless

I've been looking for some decent pans for a long time. I didn't want copper based ones, as they are a real pain to keep clean. These are the next best thing imo.
