I have a circulon pan and love it but my analon saucepans need to be thrown out. They are non stick and it's coming off. The handles get really hot too I have burnt myself a few times.

I have a swiss diamond frypan which is excellent

Can I recommend mild steel frypans? They are bomb-proof, dirt cheap and never lose their non-stick surface (if you season them well). They can handle super high heat and are oven proof. They rock! I will never need to buy a non-stick pan again....

I have a Raco set - Very happy so far, just ended up with a few pieces we did not want originally, but now use.

Looked at just buying the pieces we wanted, but found some sizes were just not sold as seperates, plus when you added up the price of a few pieces, it was more than a whole set.

It was a struggle to find the right set. Really wanted to spend $1000 on the one I wanted, but my budget was much less than that. I was also fussy about how the handles connected to pots (had to connect at two point, not one screw that gets loose) and what I wanted from the lids.

I swear by my Tupperware tupperchef pot...... But they don't sell them anymore :(

Chalk up another vote for Circulon - the only thing I have found is that you really need to be careful what kind of oil you use in them as olive seems to cake onto the teflon and burn somehow! Apparently it has something to do with the sugar content...

OR if you go to op shops and just try and find the old copper based saucepans - I'm still using my Great-grandmothers copper based pots and I have found nothing can surpass them. Nothing heats up faster or holds heat better, and I swear things just plain taste better when they come from those pots!

Mmmmm, mine are Essteele and definitely worth the cash we paid for them - we were lucky and got them on stocktake sale so a fair bit less than what they'd normaly be. Our set has a small pot, a medium pot with steamer, a large stock pot and a roasting tray. Big heavy copper bases on them and beautiful to cook with.

Only thing I'm a little miffed about is that my roasting tray won't fit in the oven that we've got in the house we're in right now.

Swiss Diamond are fantastic. I'm slowly replacing everything else as sales occur.

I dont have Le Cruesset but want some.

I'm getting rid of any 'non stick' teflon type things. I'm paranoid about chemical exposure through food.

Mmmm, that's my other pot - one of the old fashioned enamelled 6L casserole pots (Le Creuset style, but different brand) - pricey little thing but definitely worth it.

All I need now is some good frypans.
