Stellar Saucepans

[Ethel]

About to buy saucepans for my new induction hob and like the look of the Stellar.

Are they a good make?

I've never used them on an induction hob, but on gas they are brilliant, I'm sure they will perform equally well on your new hob.

:) Are they a 'good' make? I can't understand why I've never heard of them

The brand is owned by Horwoods Homeware Ltd - an established compnay based in Bristol that has been around since year dot. The Stellar cookware products brand was launched in 1984.

I'd never heard of them either, Ethel, but like you found great prominance of their products in the various sales doing on just now. Like you, I picked up a range of products and concluded on appearance that they are well-constructed. I don't possess any of their products.
If you Google 'Stellar Homeware' or similar term you will find a massive range of GOOD quality retailers selling their products - this does not seem like the sort of naff brand found on market stalls.
I'd be happy to buy if I needed new - but like you was sceptical as I'd never heard of them.

Thanks BM - I don't mind spending money if I get value for money.

These are the only anodised ones I can find for an induction. I think I'll buy them - the nature of the outlets is a good indication of quality, as you rightly point out

Hello again Ethel. they are indeed a"good" make. Having bought some for my daughter as a present 15 years ago, I decided to treat myself- I have not regretted it, and my daughters remain in superb condition, she cooks a great deal. Her friends have since bought having seen hers.

Fantastic - I have now ordered them online. :)

Thanks so much for the info - I don't mind spending money, but I hate wasting it
