Just about to buy a new induction cooker (we've finally had enough of ceramic- it just dreadful- and we only have electric at our place).

really struggling to find pans that fulfill the following:

Induction
Metal handles
can go in the over
Preferably hard anodised or plain steel. NOT non stick. Copper would be great biggrin
Would like to buy a set that might last a lifetime!

Le Creuset would work, but they are too heavey for Mrs P to use succesffuly frown

Have a look at the Le creuset stainless steal range, quite a bit lighter than the cast iron stuff and works on induction hobs.

When we installed our own kitchen 12 years ago we also installed an induction hob. At that time induction was relatively unknown and it became a bit of a chore explaining to people in `cook-shops`. So we carry a small magnet with us. If the magnet sticks to the pan/wok/griddle etc you're safe in the knowledge that it'll work. We purchased a set of Myer stainless steel pans (with metal handles) and have added various items as the years have gone by. One of the best buys being a square(ish) teflon coated griddle pan from Lakeland. The woks we use are also teflon coated and these are from Typhoon. We don't like cleaning so anything that makes it easier is a plus.

Use Mr Muscle glass cleaner on your induction hob and it should only take you a couple of minutes to get it back to showroom condition. You don't need to buy special cleaners. Remember that the hob top surface is glass!

As we (Kitchen Design of Sevenoaks)hardly ever sell gas hobs now (1 or 2 a year) induction is becoming more and more the hob solution. Should not have any probs but to be safe take a `fridge-magnet` with you when shopping for cookware and then you're 100% sorted.

Almost anything with stainless steel + Aluminium sandwich construction will do. Hahn stuff is cheap and good. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hahn-Saucepan-Stainless-St...

Scanpan makes some good stuff too

Agree - available as a set:

Haven't used these pans, but looks good, too (I'm assuming it's induction-friendly).

Look no further. I was in a similar quandary and with a little work, these will no doubt suit your requirements.

They are heavy though.
