Best Saucepan Sets in the UK

This copper-coloured set from JML includes three saucepans (16, 18, and 20 cm wide) and two frying pans (24 and 28 cm wide). While regular pans feature wood-like handles, these saucepans have small cold-grip handles that won’t get hot as you cook and make lifting the kitchenware from the stove almost effortless.

The glass lids, on the other hand, provide enough insulation so the heat won’t escape from the saucepans. Thanks to this, you can decrease the time needed to cook the dish significantly.

The only flaw that bothered us is the fact that you can’t use potent dishwasher detergents to clean this set. Due to this fact, the hand wash approach is highly recommended to keep the anti-scratch coating in pristine condition.

Owing to the dynamic heat dispersion, the cooking time is also decreased, allowing you to heat up the ingredients in the saucepans and frying pans in just a few minutes before they begin to fry and boil.

Both saucepans and the pans feature an ultra-non-stick coating that allows using a minimal amount of oil or no oil at all for frying. Thanks to the coating, the ingredients don’t stick to the surface of the kitchenware.

In the end, the excellent heat distribution and overall great build quality make this JML set a choice of true professionals. Featuring everything a cook may possibly need, you can’t go wrong with this set since it’s basically one of the best saucepan packages out there.

Tefal is most known for its electric kitchen appliances, however, the company also makes great kitchenware, which we will take a look at.

The main selling point of this particular set, aside from its great non-stick tech, is its patented interchangeable handle that can be attached to any saucepan included in the package. On top of that, the handleless saucepans take less space and can be put onto each other, providing more storage room for other kitchenware.

Due to the fact that there is only one handle with a connecting mechanism, we recommend handling it with relative care to ensure that your cooking experience with the saucepans will be comfortable throughout their service life. Also, we suggest you disconnect the handle every time you put the pans in the oven.

As for the size of the saucepans, the pieces included in the kit are 16, 18, and 20 cm wide. Each piece is made of high-quality stainless steel that is thick enough to prevent dents from occurring. The rustproof capabilities of stainless steel and its polished nature allow for easy cleaning. On top of that, if you can’t be bothered with washing the pans in the sink, you can always put them in a dishwasher for proper cleaning.

Wrapping things up, this kit from Tefal will be a good pick in case you are looking for a versatile set of saucepans that can be used to cook pretty much anything in the oven or using a stove.

The Stellar S7A1D saucepan set has everything you need to bring your cooking projects to life fast and without additional hassle.

The non-stick saucepans included in the package have standard sizes of 16, 18, and 20 cm that can fit up to 1.5, 2.3, and 3.25 litres of liquid, respectively. On top of that, each pan features a stationary metal handle and a draining lid. While the former will make the storage simple thanks to the hanging loop on the tip, the latter turns cooking pasta and similar meals into a real breeze.

All saucepans are made of stainless steel and can be used for cooking on gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, as well as on induction hobs. Aside from great heat distribution, the steel makes the pans quite durable and remains easy to clean even when the pans are used excessively.

Each unit comes equipped with a glass lid with the same diameter. Thanks to this, you can monitor the cooking process. The only disadvantage of the lids’ handles is that they tend to get quite hot when put in the oven. Hence, we recommend using thermal cooking gloves to prevent potential burns.

All things considered, if you are in the market for universal saucepans equipped with all essential modules, then this set from Stellar would be the one to go for.

The Prestige Everyday Straining is a budget-friendly set of steel saucepans that will come in handy if you need saucepans for day-to-day cooking.

First things first, the package from Prestige includes a set of three saucepans that are 14, 16, and 18 cm wide. In case a three-piece set is not enough for you, there is a 5-piece set optionally available that will cover all your cooking needs. The pans feature plastic heat-resistant handles that are pleasant to the touch and don’t get too hot so you won’t need thermal gloves as long as you are cooking on the stove.

Each piece included in the set is made of premium-quality stainless steel and has a solid steel plate that provides steady distribution of heat, making cooking on the stove as easy as ever. The encapsulated core eliminates the hotspots from occurring, negating the risk of ingredients sticking to the steel surface.

The usability of the pans is not limited to gas stoves only. The heavy-bottomed base allows using them with radiant, solid plate, halogen, as well as with ceramic hobs. As for using the saucepans in the oven, they can only handle the temperatures of up to 180° C, which should be enough for the majority of dishes.

Finally, this cookware set from Prestige is an ideal solution if you need an upgrade over your old saucepan set but don’t want to break a bank at the same time.

The Morphy Richards Equip is yet another steel pan set, however, it has all features that premium models have and is available at only a fraction of their price.

Firstly, the kit is supplied with three saucepans made of high-quality non-stick stainless steel. Lightweight and rustproof, they can be easily cleaned by hand or using a dishwasher.

Secondly, the aluminium thermal core of the pans enables using them for cooking on the stove with gas, electric, induction, ceramic, and halogen hobs. The only thing that concerned us about the pans is that their steel sides are relatively thin, which is not suitable for use in the oven. But, other than that, there are no other issues that can affect the cooking process.

On a more positive note, the glass lids pans come equipped with steam vents that are an absolute must for boiling as well as for quick heating of various dishes. The bakelite handles attached to the steel pans are non-removable but have decent heat-resistant properties.

If the standard stainless steel look of the saucepans doesn’t fancy you, this kit is also optionally available as an all-black option.

All in all, the Morphy Richards Equip is one of the top uncoated pan sets for the money available on the market today. Easy to wield, heat up, and maintain, it is a solid pick for both professional and casual cooking tasks.
