5. Copper King Saucepan Set
Made from lightweight aluminium, this trio – a 14cm milk pan with pourer and two lidded pans of 16cm and 18cm – would make an excellent starter kit. The pans are suitable for all stove tops, and are dishwasher-safe.

8. Circulon Momentum Hard Anodised 5-Piece Cookware Set
Circulon’s Momentum cookware set is brilliantly balanced. These pots and pans are sturdy yet light enough for easy handling, high-quality yet low maintenance.
