Aye, that's the stuff I was looking at FS. More in my budget too.

The Le Creuset pots look fantastic but at £50 a pop a little out of my range currently

I DON'T recommend those Meyer hard anodised ones. They are nice pans but they haven't lasted very well compared to my Tefal set which has lived through all the abuse I have given them. Noe of the hard anodise is left, it just dissolves off in time as you wash them and the teflon coating isn't as durable as my old Tefal ones. I would recommend save half your money and buy Tefal instead because they are just as good. Not the cheap Tefal ones in Woolies with the nasty handles, they do some that are a little more expensive but the quality is much better.

There is a Tefal set in sainsburys at the moment down from £100 to £50 that I saw yesterday evening.
I think I'll take a closer look at them to tide me over if what you say is true Jonny, and I don't have any reason to doubt you.

Eep I didn't realise how expensive it was these days. It would cost me at least £600 to replace what I have!!! Just as well they last for decades

Yeah hehe, the "limited edition" junk I bought from sainsburys will last me about a year or so probably but it was £50 for the whole set rather than one pot. It's only aluminium but the Tefal non stick is really good in my experience.

I'm with Jonny69 on the Meyer pans. It was the lids (and handles) that suffered on my parents set. I'll stick to Tefal thanks.
