To be fair gonz,
you're going to struggle to get anything proper for £50 a set. However, I just picked up this
www.amazon.co.uk/Meyer-Advantage-Non-Stick-Cookware-Saucepan/dp/B001ELKDHE/ref=sr_1_3?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1325536033&sr=1-3
on reccomendation form my head chef, as it's a stella price for what you get.
Also, if you want it to go in the oven possibly, you don't wat lastic or rubber grip handles, they say oven safe, but will eventally melt and tear and damamge and look shitty.

For freezing and re-heating it depends what you want. I tend to cook great big things for lady-pig to take to work, so just put it in those little plastic containers you get rice in from the chinese, so she has a portion for each day at work. But for yourself it's just as easy to get a nice big dish instead of the bottom drawer of the freezer and portion as needed. I'd go ceramic if i were you.

Did you find some decent knives?

Oh fab, that's like £20 difference, £15 if I go for almond.
They look like a really good set, and what you're saying makes sense, I'm just gonna go through my figures to see if I can push it. I know £15-20 isn't much on the grand scheme of things, but there are so many things with buying an _entire_ flat, £15-20 every time can add up to quite a bit. But saying that, I'm doing a hell of a lot less to the kitchen than I thought I was when I bought the place.

I've decided on my knives, and I know they're not expensive, but I've seen quite a few chefs use them on telly (Good Food Channel's show, where they go to the chef's personal home), and that's the "Taylor's Eye Witness" ranges + a cleaver in a different range.

OK, just had a bit of a chat'n're-think. I just went for those pots'n'pans as I'm budgeting elsewhere, and I really like those Taylor's Eye Whitness coloured ones.
