We were using a cheap set of Prestige pans bought in haste when we needed to buy a new set for use on our new induction hob 5 years ago. They have been great, but bought some Judge Vista pans in the sale at New Year. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. They take alot longer to heat up even just water than our old cheap pans. They discoloured straight away and annoyingly the handles drip when you bring them out of the dishwasher. I contacted Judge and explained that in experiments with my old cheap set that their pans took a lot longer to heat liquids - 30 seconds longer per pint of water. They explained that that may be he case but that their pans would hold the heat better when actually cooking, say potatoes for instance, and so would save energy in the long term. So we did another experiment and guess what - the Prestige pans cooked the food more quickly, and come clean and do not discolour. I contacted Judge again but they did not even bother to reply. Do not wast your money!
