When you have a family to cook for every night, a high-quality and effective set of saucepans is a must. Whether you’re cooking everyone’s favourite pasta dish or getting creative with a Thai curry, you’ll need a couple of easy-to-use saucepans inside your kitchen cupboard alongside your trusty frying pan and wok.

8. Best set for a range of saucepans: Zwilling Henckel Classic Five-Piece Stainless Steel Saucepan Set 

This set of pans is expensive, but if you have the budget, they are a canny investment. They don’t take up lots of cupboard space, perform well and will last for years of everyday use. Weight: When cooking, your pans will be full of food, such as warming soups or fragrant curries, so if the saucepans you are considering are too heavy when empty, think carefully before buying them.
