I would first of all always recommend that you go into a store and "try" a saucepan to see if you are happy with the weight and feel as very few online retailers include weight. A Le Creuset Cast Iron Saucepan set while great quality is awfully heavy as you note. One option is Le Creuset Tri ply Stainless Steel Saucepans <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?platform=dl&awinmid=1203&awinaffid=83581&clickref=&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnlewis.com%2F16515%2FRange.aspx" rel="nofollow">available here at John Lewis</a> Each item is made from a 3-layer sandwich of stainless steel, with an aluminium core to spread the heat evenly, so there are no hotspots. The stainless steel means that they are much much lighter than a cast iron saucepan, however they are NOT the lightest saucepans in the world, but I feel they are the right mix of weight and quality. I hope this helps! On The Hob Hi Gerry,

This is for my Mother who has recently moved and the new home has a super kitchen but we're unable to cook anything as she has 'old' pans!! Le Creuset is too heavy for her to lift, is the Meyer set lighter, it says heavy gauge? Help we're getting hungry!
