Ikea
3.8
(9)
"Grab an Ikea 365+ stainless saute pan and/or saucepan for acidic stuff/ramen"
"The Ikea 365+ stainless and the Sensuell stainless lines (more expensive but being fully clad is really nice for frypans) are both very solid for thier prices."

"This IKEA tri-ply is pretty decent for not much money."

De Buyer
4.5

"De Buyer 12.6 affinity 5ply or alchimy 3 ply are much more beautiful than demeyere but equal in quality."
