The Tower Cerastone T81276 is a five-piece forged aluminium pan set in graphite, priced at £78.89 and sitting at number three in our guide. It carries a 4.4 out of five rating from 3,960 customer ratings, and the listing currently shows it at number 2 in Pan Sets. Behind that rating the breakdown runs 73 at five stars against 6 at one star.

This is the set in this guide where the headline number survives a look at the contents list. The five pieces are five pans: 18cm, 20cm and 22cm saucepans, plus 20cm and 28cm frying pans. The three glass lids that come with the saucepans are not counted in the five, and neither frying pan has one — even though the spec table answers With Lid: Yes. The same table files Number of Items as 1 against Number of Pieces: 5, and the claim that the Cerastone coating is "5x stronger than other non-stick coatings" names no coating it is being compared with. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.
