Saucepans you love

[summerfish]

I have had a set of Salter non-stick saucepans for about ten years, and honestly they're dreadful. The non-stick lining is peeling off and I worry about how safe they are.

I am thinking about replacing the lot, possibly with something that is stainless steel as we don't really need non-stick.

It MUST go in the dishwasher, whatever we get. It must last, especially if it's an expensive set. I don't want to be replacing again in another couple of years.

Any recommendations please?

I have ordered the Stellar 7000 pans! I will keep you posted.

Nice, you'll love them.
I only got the 1000's as I like a stainless steel lid.

So the Stellar saucepans are OK. They get hot quickly (and very hot around the sides so that if you tip them, any liquid in the pan hisses).

I have found stuff sticks more than my Prestige pans and they're harder to clean, plus they're heavier, and too heavy for me to use the large ones with the draining lid when they're full. The draining lids are a bit pointless as in order to get rid of all the water you have to tip them vertically... and then of course the lid falls off! Lid handles get very hot.

Plus points are handles are at a good angle so they stack well in the drawer and they don't gather water in the dishwasher like others do. Handles get hot close to the pan but are plenty cool enough towards the end. 8/10.
