Saucepans

Im buying some new saucepans for my sister for her first flat, and I want to get her some good ones, but there are so many brands now under famous chefs names and im not convinced that price=quality!

I want 2 sauce pans and a smallish frying pan, with metal handles. I want to spend under £100

Any reccomendations?

@Louise and other culinary wizzes

Doesn't fit the bill but I my le creuset sooooo much

John Lewis Classic own brand are good.

I am looking for some new pans myself and I'm going for either the Raymond Blanc ones or Le Crueset stainless steel.

Just found some on sainsburys that are SS and copper bottom, and some of the bits i want are half price! Copper ismeant to be good innit?!

@Aimeet Lacreuset swoooooon

Yeah I would say copper bottom is good but I would say its good to feel the weight to cos some just have a copper coatin which is pants. They need to have a fairly heavy guage bottom imo.
We upgraded to lecreuset for our wedding presents. I would like to think they will last for ever. I really couldn't go back now. I'm all about the cast iron enamel ware now

We,ve got a JL cast iron pot and some dirt cheap pans, cant say im that fussed which i use... Cheapies are easier to was up!!

I like Le Creuset too. We have their stainless steel pans.

This would be perfect if it was a bit cheaper! http://www.ecookshop.co.uk/ecookshop/pr ... 900&m=5&d=

My mum has some lovely stainless steel pans, will try and remember the name.

Its Stellar. Not quite what you're after but they've a 5 piece pan set for £109 here
