Decent saucepans???

Hello
The non stick is coming off my saucepans and I have decided that they are not big enough anyway. Can anyone recommend a good set of saucepans, perhaps one that is quite deep??
I am prepared to invest, but not stupid money ( I don't have it )
TIA

Oooh I have an almond Brabantia bin those would go with .
Actually that draining thing is a fab idea. I always lose half my peas or pasta.
Oh dear this is going to be harder than I thought.

Lol!
Actually I think I can rule those out as they are not as deep as I would like. My current pans are 8 cm deep. I want more! Marthamoo, would you measure your pans for me????

PMSL at your DH. Thank you. That really helps. That is the sort of size I want. Now I have to ponder if I can live without glass lids .
I have to pop out to a meeting now but will return.....
Anyone else any pans to recommend????
I like the ones I linked from ebay because of the 'free' extras, but wouldn't know which set to get. Any opinions??
DH has said I should just get two new saucepans not a set. He doesn't understand , this is actually quite exciting for me . When you use something everyday it should be good though!

I am mortified

my pans (almond) don't go with my brabantia bin (graphite)

how will I ever show my face again

why did no-one tell me the need to co-ordinate cookware to bin-age? huh?

LOL Twiglett. I cannot believe you didn't realise. Where have you BEEN You will know better for the future .

(My bin matches nothing in my kitchen, but I love it, so I got it...another thing used lots everyday so worth getting a nice one IMO )

My Dad has just told me they have induction hob version of the Meyer pans on ebay that I linked to. I do like their pans.....and they have the glass lid.
Does anyone else have Meyer Anolon pans?

Marthamoo - Your pans scored 92/100 in the GHI tests! They really are as good as you say .
