I am a huge fan of my scanpans - I have quite a collection so far.

One thing I would suggest is to write down the retail price of whatever you decide on (any brand) and then surf the net (websites) and phone stores for the best deal. You should be able to knock at least 30% off what you are buying.

I did this and ended up ordering them from Peters..........com.au mentioned earlier because they had the best deal available at that particular time, and paying postage was cheaper that petrol/parking for the only store that came close to matching the price. The websites that sell homewares often have a buy this, and get this free offer is another way to save money.

If you are buying a whole set, try and get one with the steamer insert that fits different sized pots. I have a scanpan one that fits 3 different saucepans - very handy. A few other brands make the same sort of thing.

MMMM I love kitchenware....
