I want to treat myself to a really good new set of saucepans - any recommendations?

[CountessDracula]

I have a motley collection of rather vile saucepans acquired over the years from various odd places, the nice ones we had for our wedding 12 years ago have pretty much had it

I would ideally like something with a stainless steel outside and non-stick inside. I don't want metal handles on the lids or metal handles as they both get hot! Must be dishwasherable

Anyone?

well you cant really put non stick in dishwasher

I have lovely mermaid non stick baking trays they are knackered from dishwasher

these look like mine

bog standard, great really, I never think about 'em

but don't sauces stick???

I guess I could just get a couple of bigger saucepans and stick with my anodised one for sauces
good plan cd

circulon are shite
i agree

SNORT
where on earth did you find that bundle

right, i wash my hands of this request for advice now, CD, things don't stick if you pay attention to them. We NEVER use any non stick items of any description in pro kitchens. I think non stick is a huge emperor's new clothes style marketing ploy. harrumph

th tesco ons is fab
really hsavey and great
says dishwasher but dont

anyone got all clad? like the stay cool handle thing

but I am not a chef
i am a busy mother and I don't always pay attention

ffs!!!

on another topic, is an asparagus steamer really necessary in a home kitchen?

look!!

I swear twas the Le Cruesets what gave me a hernia. Honest! They're so damned heavy. Mine were a wedding pressie and I certainly wouldn't choose them again. And with those wooden handles, you can't put them in the dishwasher. They do cook beautifully, though, and seem to be virtually indestructible!

i use chefs pan for sauces (non stick)

sauces dont stick tbh , i make cheese sauce in them all the time

ok ok

I do like those divertimenti ones i may get them
they are dishwasherable too

wtf is a butter warmer???

well of course they won't stick if you use non stick enid

I make cheese sauce in the non stick ones all the time

divertimenti = kitchen porn

actually nothing sticks

I never think about sticking

wong!

i ahev a TESCO non stick milk pan thing for sauces

OMG
the All Clad

I have a moist gusset

I am in love i think

yes I am hastily stuffing kitchen roll down my clean jeans in an attempt to keep them fresh too SW

Shall I be very naughty and order them??

I love my le Creuset saucepans - the dishwasher is always too full for pans anyway so that doesn't bother me, yes they are heavy but nothing else cooks as well IMHO.

YES!!!

and tell me how they feel to the touch and how they smell when you get them out of the packaging and how heavy they are and how the lids clang .................................... oooooooh MATRON!!!!!
