I needed a cheapo nonstick jobbie, 20cm with glass lid £3 in Wilko.

Totally gobsmacked how anyone can produce and sell an item at that price.

You won't be so happy when the non stick coating ends up in your mashed potato!

It's a bit flimsy biggrin but the handle seems to be screwed on well. When it no longer functions as a saucepan it'll be consigned to the garage for odds n sods.

The crack with really cheap non stick pans is to ensure they are not steel. I have some really cheap small pans I've had for years , no problem at all. Ideal for making sauces, etc. They came from Wilko if I recall right.

Speaking of Wilko, they do what could be described as a classic design glass jug at £1.25 a go. Approx a litre capacity, ideal for double decanting wine, Pimms even.
