I brought a le creuset one from john Lewis in a sale ages ago, at least five years, probably more.
Love it. 23cm maybe 30cm with a lid. Does everything I need and after a soak you can scrub off everything..Similar to this

Just seen you said you wanted a saucepan, they also do a saucepan and pots as well in the same style.

I've had the Circulon Infinite https://www.amazon.co.uk/Circulon-Infinite-Anodised-Cookware-5-Piece/dp/B0018S13MM stuff for the past ten years and found them very good (apart from the frying pan which was OK but not as good as a proper cast iron one).
Decent weight but don't weigh a ton, decent heat distribution, non-stick that actually seems to work (it's not the teflon stuff that peels off), can go in the oven to a good termperature and, most importantly, a piece of piss to clean.
I'm looking for saucepan recommendations / suggestions please, folks - my tired & crappy 20cm pan died, and I feel it's time to buy something nice (and maybe a bit matchy matchy) for once.
My thoughts are turned to stainless steel* - What do people have, and how long have they had them for? What is good / bad about them.
* I never really need non-stick, cast-iron isn't really suitable for saucepans, enamelled is too easy to damage, copper is a pretty extravagance, and aluminium does weird things with acid / salt.
