The star is the stainless steel Judge Vista set. The design is not too heavy and it is well-balanced, too. What you get for a very reasonable c£50 are 3 pots that have a lip on the body to aid pouring sauces or gravy and straining vegetables.

The pot lids are of glass with a stainless steel rim. There’s a vent hole, too. That means not only can you see into the pan, but you can simmer without boil over mess.

To this add non-stick, dishwasher safe and oven-proof qualities and you get a versatile set of pots and pans. And, of course, they cook on induction hobs.

You get the 3 pots plus a small and a large frying pan all for around £100.
