£280 for a saute pan is ridiculous!

[brimfull]

madness

Looks nice though, and is John Lewis!

DH got me a lovely non stick pan t'other day, £4.99 . For £280 I'd want it to cook the farking dinner

Yes it is, I bought a saute pan for £50 and felt like the queen I thought it was so expensive. I wouldnt have bought it had I not got vouchers as a wedding present. I have to say though that it is a quality pan and cooks up a dream. Next step...Le Creuset!

It looks pretty.

Oooh, AllClad...

It does look fab , but need non stick. Bought this one today but dh says the bottom is too small...unlike mine (arf)

plus I got 25% off the price shown

romance - have you used All Clad before? never heard of it

No, I've never used it. Just seen it on US cooking shows, and looked it up - I concluded from the prices that it must be bloody good, and have been hankering after an All-Clad baking tray ever since!

Insanity!

But what I really, really want is a beautiful Staub cocotte.

I spend this amount on pans. Because (a) pan technology is amazing and the better the pan, the better the food (b) good pans last forever.

they look like lecreuset

have you got one bonsoir?

tbh I would want to try it out before I forked out the dosh for it

I got one from wmf for my wedding. nearly the same price range... but I would never spend that much money on a pan myself.

I have ICM Le Pentole pans, which are just fab. The only All-Clad things I have are a set of cup measures that DP brought me in Williams-Sonoma when he was in NY on a business trip. But All-Clad are supposed to be very fantastic.

A friend of a friend has a big important job at Williams-Sonoma and lets us into kitchenware secrets .

Yes, all my pans cost at least that much.

Williams-Sonoma -??

Williams-Sonomax = amazing US chain of kitchenware shops.

I bought a saute pan from TKMaxx for £15 and it is amazing. I'd cry spening that £280 on a pan.

I was only joking. You'd have to be a complete twit and a bit of a show-off to spend that on pans and then brag about it on mumsnet, surely?

Sorry Bonsoir, only just noticed you there

drool at williams-sonomax , much cheaper over there.

Damn. x-post.
