Stellar Profile Set of 3 Stainless Steel Draining Pans 16cm, 18cm x 20cm Saucepans with Large Lip and Strainer Lids, Induction Ready

Used pretty much every day for cooking. A good design and they clean up nicely. I have also tried them on an induction hob as well as the regular gas hob.

What I was looking for, stainless steel (for number of reasons compared to alternatives), metal handle (unlike plastic, they will not burn and can put in the oven), glass lid and steam ventilation. Additional to what I wanted, these pans have pouring lips each side and measurement guidelines on the inside. I made a pickling solution in the large pan to pickle gherkins and in the small pan I boiled some Jerseys (due to the pan volume) and the middle one, tin of mushy peas. Value for money at £80? I would have to say yes, I've bought "cheap" pans in the past at £50 and they were terrible. You can tell the quality when you open the box. The only negative I can think of for some people is the weight, if you have trouble lifting things, or problems with your wrists, you may struggle especially with the larger pots and will definitely need both hands to lift, but if you like cooking, don't let that put you off as they are lighter than other things such as a stewing pot when full, there's always a work around such as ladles. One thing I did find very useful, the pouring lips on the side of each pan. I wasn't looking for this feature but pouring hot liquid into a glass jar, it was actually very easy and splash free. Plenty of positive for a quality brand, but only 1 negative, ie the weight. May not be the best option for someone elderly, very weak or suffering with RSI. Other than that, you really can't go far wrong. If you have concerns about the weight, find a local store that sell these separately and just pick them up, I saw these pans first hand in Mill Village and Red Brick Mill both in Batley and Pro Cook at J32 on the M62, then placed order on here as cheaper. Also as these pans are deeper, you may be able to get away with the smaller pans too.

Great saucepans. These were a replacement for some non-stick ones I had before which had reached the end of their days. It struck me that one really doesn't need non-stick saucepans - just a frying/saute pan and perhaps a milk/sauce saucepan. These are great quality and seem to cook evenly. The lids are good as they allow drainage of your veg without having to use a colander. They have internal volume markings which are also helpful.

Great pans, easy to use and clean. They are noisier on rapid boil than my old ones, make an odd sound.

REALLY REALLY nice heavy pan set with a LIFETIME guarantee!!!

Great quality. Like the fact that the handles stay cool.

I bought these because our new hib is induction, and my old faithfuls were not ever going to work! These looked good and seemed to be ideal for the job. However there are issues; they cause the induction hob to buzz continuously. A small support handle on the opposite side from the handle would make them easier to manipulate when full, as the single handle can make them feel very heavy and difficult to move about. The most irritating thing about them is actually nothing to do with cooking; stacking is impossible. Turning the lid upside down and putting the next size down on top, has always been my way of storing saucepans, this do not stack well. The lids are impossibly weighted and are completely unstable. I would not buy these again.

Quite heavy but very stable on any surface love the lid so you can pour out liquid without having to take the whole lid off just brilliant thank you 🤩
