  • Sure this has been asked before but is current thinking DeBuyer Affinity for induction?

    Something else?

    Want to pick up a new set basically - not necessarily all at once but 2 or 3 to start and that budget suits rather than their copper induction stuff. Will keep some of my cast iron but probably charity shop the rest.

    I've been using a temporary portable induction hob while I wait for the new one to be installed and am noticing it's either very hot or very not. So if I'm doing something like a ragu from beef shin it is either luke warm or burning through the bottom of my thin steel stock pot which it turns out is the only induction compatible pan I own (apart from cast iron stuff)

    Also only seems to heat a small circle in the centre despite having a big ring (in before the quote). That may just be a settings issue I haven't figured but in any event I need some pans. A deep sauté pan, a couple of saucepans and ideally something big (but not massive / ham sized which I already have). Ideally all the same range.

    This is how cheap ones work. More expensive ones modulate the temperature properly.

    I have Circulon Infinite saucepans and happy with them. Bought 10 years ago and still in good condition. I also had the frying pan but that died after a while (although I've also found the same with the expensive Le Creuset non-stick one I have)

  • Circulon Infinite saucepans

    I reckon I bought a dud. Got a frying pan from the range a couple of years ago I think after a mention here.
    It was awful within a couple of months (though unfortunately punctuated by a house move so it was over a year old by then). Everything sticks and it constantly looks filthy. The only thing that's stopped me chucking it is the irritation that it wasn't particularly cheap and shouldn't be so shit.
    Maybe I should get in touch with them and see if they'll send me a replacement. Seems my experience is the exception.
