Lightweight good but affordable saucepans

[DumplingsAndStew]

Sorry I'm unsure if this is the best forum for this.

I have some disabilities and very weak joints, but the time has come (and passed!) to look for some new pots and pans and figured if I knew what to look out for, I can start bargain hunting.

I currently have a 4 piece pot/pan set (not including frying pans) which works well for me. Looking at a budget of ideally no more than 100 max all in - so like Tefal prices?

Lightweight, nonstick, easy clean. Need to have a sturdy handle and easy grip. Oh, need to nest inside each other for storage. Don't need to be dishwasher safe, I wash by hand unfortunately.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks 😊

Scoville pans are great and also IKEA .

Thank you so much, I will look into both of your suggestions and see if I can find weight details etc.

Others may have different experiences, but "non stick" and "nest inside each other" tend to be mutually exclusive. With frying pans separating them with cloths or teatowels works up to a point, but for saucepans it's usually a sure-fire way to ruin the non stick coating.

To answer the question, I have always found Tefal pretty good, although in my experience you have to go high-end for long lasting quality.

At cheaper price points, I have a number of pans made by a Portuguese company called Jomafe which I cannot recommend enough. They are mainly aluminium so very light, but have a steel sandwich base so suitable for induction hobs. They look good enough that I am happy to put them on the table if I've done, say, a casserole. We bought ours at Boundary Mill in Colne (we're in the NW) but unfortunately I'm not sure where else sells them, although I can see some on Amazon.

If you struggle with disabilities I'd also suggest looking at European-style pans with two small handles, rather than the one long one you tend to get with British saucepans.

I stack non stick saucepans inside each other - I just use these things in between

Oh god I always stack my pots, maybe that's why I need new ones 😂😂

Thank you both so much, will look at all suggestions x
