I'm loooking for a new set of camping pans as I hate the ones I've got at the moment - you use one handle between three pans. I've been looking at sets with the handles the curve round the pot when stored
I've just ordered a set but I made a boo boo, they're tiny. More for solo trecking up the Andies.
we currently have a complete new range just in from sunncamp and highlander and plenty to choose from web address at bottom hope this helps with what your looking for
The only thing I would recommend is getting non-stick ones, we started with the aluminium ones but the baked beans dont half weld themselves to the bottom so we then bought a non-stick set and that is much better, if I have a spare couple of quid I would get these as the handle idea looks really good and we have tefal hotspot pans in the house and they are the dogs goonads. these
My main camping pan is a Tefal wok, one of the ones with a hot spot comes in for just about everything, frying, stewing, stir fry etc. then have a couple of normal saucepans for other stuff.
I havr also the Asda Tefal ones. They are ful size but excellant on a two ring stove. I can cook a good meal in two pans. It is worth finding the space in the booth to fit them in. Got them on sale. Keep an eye out as they have sometimes got 20% off. Good luck

Everyone brings happiness to my life, some when they arrive and some when they leave.
I treated myself to the coleman non stick in the sale at £19.99 from Blacks. They were £40, haven't used them yet, but they look really solid. My old metal ones will go in my weekend kit.
No need for compromise, get a full set of stainless steel pots and pans and a good nonstick frying pan - exactly the same as you would use at home. And while you're at it, get a full set of crockery plates, dishes and cups or mugs and proper knives, forks and spoons. We also take some nice glasses and tumblers for the beer and wine.
I like to relax and be comfortable when camping and I refuse to cook with tatty old alloy saucepans, eat off plastic plates using plastic cutlery and drink from horrible plastic glasses.
The real stuff is so much nicer don't you think? Just my opinion of course.
The all great GASer himself has replied to my posting.
You are right of course, however, 'him in doors' will have a right bennie if I say I'm taking a full set of pans. He thinks I'm mad enough as it is when I revealed my latest purchase - a mini burrly clothes line.
In fairness though, we dont have a big car so space is limited. I suppose I've got a few weeks yet to look around.
Bernie, how do you get a moving gif on your postings?
We've got a set of Hi-Gear pans - the larger size. They were about £6 in Wilkos last spring. We got our camping kettle for a snip too. They're worth keeping an eye on.
