Stellar Sabatier Cleaver

Advantages: Best pans you will buy.
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...I have been in the catering industry now for 9 years and i am yet to find pans better than the Stellar range. Non stick they are not! but high quality stainless steel - You will have to try hard to stick something to these pans. All the Pans have a thick base to help evenly spread heat while cooking. Fab. The lids also cary the high quality finish of the pans. They fit well and are well made with no screws in the inside of the lid. Handles also well fixed and designed not to get hot while cooking. If you want pans that can stand the test of time then Stellar is what you want. I have had mine for 4 years and they still look good.

Advantages: Massive heat transfer and bomb proof construction
Disadvantages: Lids get hot after prolonged cook

...As I had already setup house,got a decent frying pan but found my pans to be falling apart, I needed a pan set without a frying pan. This was a real struggle but the review by wompie99 of Stellar pans got my interest and honed my search.

Advantages: Impossible to 'Nuke'
Disadvantages: Hot handles

...STELLAR COOKWARE- simply the best pans and the only pans you will ever need to buy. All Cookware comes with a lifetime gaurentee. Being an ex-student and self confessed expert at destoying pans, using only a tin of beans and a bit too much time, I was pleased, when last Christmas, I was bought a set of STELLAR pans. PACKAGING: Most products come in high in quality jet black boxes with a glossy picture and size specifications, easy to read. Inside is a guarentee booklet- need to register to validate gaurentee. THE PANS: As with most cookware sets various sixes are available: 14cm 'Milk pan to 26cm 'Stockpots' with all variations inbetween. For the purose of this review I will stick (or not ha ha) to the 3 sizes I have. 14cm Saucepan with Lid-Volume 1.1L Cost Approx £24.00 This is the most used, handy pan- ideal for soup... Read review
