Thomas Cook & Pour 20cm 2.8L Saucepan with Glass Lid

Delighted with our purchase, bought to replace Prestige pans whose handles failed - Prestige no longer honour their "lifetime" guarantee since the company changed hands. These Thomas pans are beautiful in appearance and wonderful to use; they have the benefit of two spouts with strainer lids and the handles don't really get hot; although we bought a single silicone sleeve for the handle as a precaution for when we have all burners on the go we haven't needed it yet. We actually bought Thomas pans three years ago for our student offspring and ended up keeping some for home use, we can therefore vouch for their quality and durability. They're also easy to clean. We'll never purchase Prestige again! We feel that Thomas pans are excellent quality and much better value than the other brands we researched locally and online.

Very pleased with this pan, which we've been using for about a month now. I'd been promising myself a saucepan with a straining lid for years, what took me so long? The implementation here is very good, practical in use, the handle doesn't get hot, and you don't burn yourself from steam when draining the contents out. Easy to clean by hand (both lid and pan), and it's an attractive pan too – preferred by us to the Stellar version, although we're into splitting hair territory.

Good solid pan bigger than expected and also rather heavy so would not be any good for an old person

Terrible saucepan , looks great but the whole thing gets red hot when used , handle and lid . You can only touch it with an oven glove on or you will get burnt, Had to return it useless!

This was bought in addition to one I had already as I like it so much. Sturdy. Love how you can strain using the lid and the fact that you can measure liquid easily as a measurement chart is on the inside.I've had my first one for years and it washes perfectly in the dishwasher. Still looks brand new! The only downside with my old one was that the handle on the lid became detatched but that may be due to me putting it in the dishwasher! However a couple of small screws and washers fixed it and it's as good as new!

Pros:+ Handles don't really get very hot (although I've bought Steller Handle Holder for the handle as a precaution)+ Lid with 2 sets of strainer+ Glass lid+ A spout on each side of the pan, so great for both left & right handed usage+ Induction safe+ Food does not stick+ Measure marking on the inner side of the pan+ Looks and feels very sturdy, seems to be a long-lasting pan+ Look-wise very slick and attractiveCons:- A bit heavy

-Thick bottom retains heat well.-The straining points are really handy for pouring out liquids while keeping the food inside.Sturdy handle, although I would've preferred one with a plastic sleeve. Still, it doesn't get hot enough to burn you.For the price you pay, you won't find better.

Pros: The pan is a great size for near any cooking need, the measurements on the inside are a great addition, and the lid works wonderfully as a substitute for a sieve while making pasta (maybe best not to try spaghetti, though, the holes are probably large enough for the strands to slip through), the handle hasn't gotten even the slightest bit warm, even though it's metal.Cons: The fact that the handle is metal means that it's a little more slippery than a rubber alternative, so you have to use a little bit more care when pouring, when washing, that sort of thing, and the non-stick coating on the inside is more minimal than the non-stick coating on my previous pan. The fact that the pan needs more washing than my old one is my major gripe about it, and it's not really anything major at all, just a little more elbow grease required.Overall, great pan, useful lid, nice size, needs a little more effort to clean than others. A great general purpose saucepan.
