Good quality pans?

[chrisgtx]

We need a new set of pans at home,we did have le viners Techtonic,which have been fantastic and lasted years but are now knackered,i did see a good demo of runcookware at llangollen food festival.
anyone know or can reccomend any alternatives for me to look at?.

Surprisingly, Tesco finest.
Stainless with copper bottoms.

I have a cheap set of M&S own - cheap as chips. Lasted nigh on ten years so far...

Le Pentole used to be the dog's back when I sold such things, or Berndes if you like non-stick.

I do prefer non stick,especially when i'm cooking ,i looked at the tesco website and couldnt see any with copper bases though.

You may need to look in store
I bought some pans from Tesco at "half price" not copper bottoms, but a decent weight & good to cook with.

Debenhams 'own brand' anodised usually on offer.

I'd always go for Anolon/Circulon. Amazingly good pans, and normally available at a good price if you shop around (Harts of Stur normally seem to be knocking them out cheap).

One thing worth considering is whether you'll ever want to upgrade to an induction hob. My pans are annodised aluminium, which while being very good to cook with means that they won't work on an induction hob. I think that the newer pans have been modified to work (presumably they have some iron added to the base) but I'm not 100% about this.
