Lightweight Stainless steel saucepans?

[Serendipityrain]

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for lightweight stainless steel saucepans please?
I can't lift much for medical reasons. We've been using basic Ikea pans, (3 set plastic handles) which are incredibly light and do the job - however - of the three, two have now lost their handles! Thankfully both during washing up, not while carrying boiling contents to the sink. Obviously I'm not going to be repurchasing those ones, or using the third anymore as at this point it seems inevitable it will also break. So dangerous. Their spot welding just doesn't hold up.

I'm looking for plain stainless steel, glass lids, cool-touch handles that don't need a cloth to move them. But they do need to be very lightweight - ideally with handles that don't break after a few years! Everything I'm finding so far is well over a kg for medium sized pans, and getting up towards 2kg for the larger ones.

Any ideas?
Thank you

Ps - I don't use non-stick. I'm aware there are 'safer' options these days, but I've found those extremely difficult to clean properly after something's been burnt, and they scratch. Plus the non-stick part doesn't ever seem to last all that long.

Mine are from John Lewis. I don’t have glass lids as I think they add to the weight, but these do

Ikea still do lightweight stainless pans with glass lids, they are good value and can be delivered.

Thank you. These are the exact set I bought a few years ago that the handles have broken on. They are indeed wonderfully lightweight. Sadly so is the spot welding holding the handles on! I wouldn't like to re-purchase now knowing the risk of scalding.

Thank you. I'm looking for full 'plasitc' handles as I need to use two hands to lift the pan when full. With the metal ends there's not enough grip space for both hands. They do look lovely though. Thank you so much.

At that price I'd be tempted to buy them again, planning to replace in 3 years well before the spot welding gives out.

I did consider that. But the first broke fairly quickly. I assumed it was a one off and didn't worry about it. Now another has gone. You just can't tell when the 'well before it gives out' will be. Also there's just zero warning. I used it and it was fine, completely strong and stable. Washed it up, handle fell off! Far too big of a risk for the possibility of randomly timed 3rd degree burns, I think.

I've got Prestige "LIfetime" pans that might suit you.
Glass lids, full length plastic handles that I can use with both hands (I've got arthritis). Goes in the DW.
Biggest one weighs 855g without lid. I always remove the lids from the bigger ones when lifting.
Used every day for at least 25 years - as good as new.

Can also recommend Prestige - I replaced Le Creuset pans with these several years ago as I couldn't lift them anymore (and now of course madly fashionable but still way too heavy). The Prestige pans come with a lifetime guarantee, which works as we had an anodised aluminium wok pan whose surface went weird, and they gave us credit to replace it with anything of the same value. Didn't even have a receipt!

If you have a TK Max within range, they can have some good pans too, that you can try for weight.
