Retire those old pans - Tefal set with 2.5k 5-star reviews now 40% off

Are your pans looking a bit worse for wear? We can get quite attached to certain bits of kitchen equipment, but when they're no longer fit for purpose, their non-stick has vanished, they're wobbly on the hob and crusty around the edges, it's usually time to invest in a new set.

Handily, Amazon has a deal on the Tefal 5 Piece Origins Stone pan set- it's currently £46.99 down from £78 - a whopping 40% off. This impressive bit of kit includes a 24cm frying pan, a 16cm saucepan with glass lid, an 18cm saucepan with glass lid, a 20cm frying pan and 20cm saucepan, also with glass lid, all of which are compatible with gas, electric and ceramic hobs, but not induction.

They've got a thermo-red spot which glows when the pans reach optimum cooking temperature and you can chuck them in the dishwasher which makes life easier too.

So far, they have an impressive 4.6 average rating out of five stars on Amazon from more than 3,000 reviews. One customer said: "Great cooking time, excellent quality, easy to use and lightweight, no rust accumulation and very easy to clean. Great price too! I'd definitely recommend. No more burnt dinners as it's non stick."

A second raved: "I bought these for moving to university and they did not disappoint. Various sizes meant that I could cook so many different things. The quality of these are so good and for the price too. Super durable, and they work amazing on a hob! The lids are perfect for boiling things and they just look so good, they don't look cheap at all. Such a good price for anyone looking for great pots/pans but doesn't want to spend hundreds on a set."

A third said: "The non-stick surface works brilliantly, making cooking and cleaning effortless. Each piece is well-crafted and durable, with an attractive stone finish that adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen. The heat distribution is excellent, ensuring even cooking every time."

However, one was surprised by how lightweight the pans are: "Great pans, very lightweight and so easy to clean. At first I was a bit put off by the light weight, I associate heavier weight with better quality. But so far, so good."

Another warned it's important to hold them when stirring: "Good quality items. The only thing I am not so happy with is they slide on the hob very easily. If you need to stir anything, you have to hold them to stop them sliding around."

As an alternative, Dunelm has a Non-Stick Aluminium 5 Piece Pan Set with pouring lips, but the kit is pricier, costing £75. For a stainless steel set, try the Meyer Induction Cookware Set Stainless Steel, Non Stick, Dishwasher Safe, 5 Piece from Debenhams - currently £95.05, down from £130.

But as the reviews above prove, the Tefal 5 Piece Origins Stone set comes at a brilliant price and some solid testimonials as to how good it is.
