Tefal stackable pots and pans

At SBS on the SoCal stand they had a whole range of silicone rubber cook and kitchenware.
Kettles, pans and other stuff all unique in that each item squashes completely flat.
Items that go on a hob have a metal base.
Expensive but ideal for those who are pushed for space.

But the buckets are very inconsistent, a lot of the handles are not captive. Guess how I know.... I lost the one I got for christmas.
even the ones on Socals stand are inconsistent, typically one end captive, the other not, so I didn't buy a replacement.
I'd be wary of the quality.

I still have had, for 20yrs now,its camping predecessor, the whole lot nests into the biggest pan with a canvas bag around, like this

Excellent.

I bought mine, for my 1st boat, in 1978 - before Amazon was around, still going strong, despite my 11 year-old crew (now 43) throwing the largest cover overboard in Braye harbour.
 
Yes, the best cooking pots available for any use where stowage is at a premium. We had a set for many years in a series of previous camper vans, now have one set on the boat in Greece and another in the motorhome. One little tip from the 1st mate/chef - keep the cardboard separators that come with the package and always use them when nesting the pans. Engine and road vibrations between upper and lower pans will wear the teflon away.
 
We have used the ingenio pans for over ten years now and they have been excellent. For separation when stacking we use squares of anti slip matt and this has preserved the Teflon coating.
 
We too separate our pans with anti-slip mat. Not the expensive chandlery stuff, but the £1 per metre stuff which Tesco used to sell in their bric-a-brac section before it recently disappeared. Luckily I bought a few 2 metre rolls.

If interested, check the latest considerations on Teflon coatings.... apparently they are a little... well, dangerous! We've resorted to using a new "eco" non-slip!

They use some truly horrible compounds to 'stick' the ultimate 'non-stick' material to the metal of the pan and even then it flakes off relatively easily if scratched. I find it quite remarkable that the press hasn't picked up on the dangers of using Teflon in cooking utelsils; imho its only marginally better ( when new ) than risking aluminium poisoning from even cheaper pans. Me, I much prefer stainless pots and pans and a scrubbing brush.
 
From Wikipedia regarding Teflon

"The pyrolysis of PTFE is detectable at 200 °C (392 °F), and it evolves several fluorocarbon gases[23] and a sublimate.

..... a study documented birds having been killed by these decomposition products at 202 °C (396 °F),

with unconfirmed reports of bird deaths as a result of non-stick cookware heated to as little as 163 °C (325 °F).[23][25]


While PTFE is stable and nontoxic, it begins to deteriorate after the temperature of cookware reaches about 260 °C (500 °F),

and decomposes above 350 °C (662 °F).[26]

These degradation by-products can be lethal to birds, and can cause flu-like symptoms in humans.[26]

In May, 2003, the environmental research and advocacy organization Environmental Working Group filed a 14-page brief with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission petitioning for a rule requiring that cookware and heated appliances bearing non-stick coatings carry a label warning of hazards to people and to birds.[27]

So not only have John Lewis ripped me off, but now they're trying to kill me? :eek:
 
I bought a set of stainless steel cookware at Southampton boat show. 2 detachable handles, 4 pots, 1 pan and 2 lids. Stack beautifully inside one another, sim quality to Le Pentole. Ultimate compliment. Unfortunately, I am not aware of the brand name. Cost around £100. In the best buy category
