Me too.  I'll go first.

 

I bug gered up a saucepan yesterday, so have decided to buy a new set of three.  The old ones are 45 years old and still excellent.

 

Are there any suggestions as to the brand?  I have a ceramic cooktop, not gas.  I have looked at reviews, and they all seem to contradict each other.  I would appreciate some opinions.   Smiley Happy

I have a favourite one at home but can't remember the brand name. will check when I get home. It might be bistro.

It's about 25 years old and like new.

I do recall the first or second week (or both) Pimpy was away a poster said they had been asked by Pimpy and beaten off the mark by another.

I still like my old Esteele saucepans but they're about 30 years old . I've bought more of them since, and they're still good. I also bought Circulon, but I still prefer the Esteele.

the food seems to stick to the bottom of the Baccarat pans and burns.

 

The ceramic cooktop could be partly to blame perhaps. Plus I suck at cooking, but I never had the problem with the old aluminium saucepans with the differnt coloured lids.

I've heard that about baccarat, maybe here?

 

I would love gas, but not possible here.  Ceramic seems to be taking over now.  I like it. I will be getting heavy based saucepans, they are more efficient, and don't warp.

My favourite one is very good. I have a terrible habit of burning things that make the bottom of the pots black and this one always cleans off so easily after a soak whereas some of them go all grey and stay that way.

 

Mind you it's not that shiny at the moment because we've been using it to deep fry chips.
