Recommendations for durable saucepan sets after handles snapped in dishwasher

[Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain]

Just emptied the dishwasher lifted a pot out and the handles completely snapped off. That's two this month alone think my pots are a mix of Morphy Richards and Russell Hobs. Can anyone please help me with new pots to buy.

Get yourself to John Lewis

Will take a look at JL online. Ideally I would like good ones that's going to last but don't cost the earth.

Yes. The John Lewis classic range in stainless steel.

JL own brand then

TK maxx, stainless steel pots and bans and research different types of bases. You want a solid one not one made from two pieces.

if You’ve got to buy new ones anyway why not go for ones that you can change the handle, space savers. Something like these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sitram-713511-Stainless-Saucepans-Removable/dp/B08QDN6CZ5/ref=asc_df_B08QDN6CZ5?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=77447093570842&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=t&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=247014&hvtargid=pla-4581046497360018&psc=1&hvocijid=3843587357254248502-B08QDN6CZ5-&hvexpln=0

I’ve had my stainless steel le creuset pans for 16 years and they are still going strong.

Second vote for le creuset stainless they look like new after washing no matter what you do to them

Op said didn’t want to spend much

Lovely as le creuset is I don't want to spend that type of money for everyday use especially when the teenagers are going through a scrambled egg phase.

Fair enough but mine are for everyday use and with two teens in the house. As long as you don’t use metal utensils on them they’re grand. I’ve burnt on some sauces and things in their time and they’ve always cleaned up fine. My only criticism is my largest saucepan is heavy to lift if draining pasta or potatoes.

I think the point is over time they work out far better value than needing to replace cheaper pans more frequently. I paid £160 for 3 saucepans 16 years ago and have been using them daily ever since. Each saucepan works out costing £3 a year. Bargain!

Ikea 365 for cheap but durable stainless steel pans.

Procook for non stick - although no non stick ever lasts very long IME.

Ikea stainless steel - indestructible, affordable and cook really well.

I notice they only come with one handle, and I saw no option to buy spare handles. Good idea, but I would want lots of handles.

I’ve had my stellar stainless steel pans for nearly 40 years now and they will outlive me.

Another vote for Ikea stainless steel. I have had mine for six years now and they look brand new.
I also have a stainless steel pot, which I picked from Lidl during the lockdown and it is also going strong. It is surprisingly good quality with thick base.
