Short answer

The Prestige Omega Deluxe Granite Non-stick Round Base Sauce Pan with Glass Lid 240mm is the best overall saucepan here, as the widest pan with a stated diameter and a lid. A saucepan handles milk, tea, soup and small batches of gravy, so its size, handle and coating matter more than a wide frying surface. This guide compares five saucepans from Hawkins, Prestige and Milton on the specs the makers list. Hawkins also has a hard anodised saucepan on the list, and that one has no non-stick coating.

Hawkins says it designed that pan for pouring with almost no drip.

How to choose

First decide whether you want a coating. Four of these pans have one. The Hawkins 1.5 litre has none, and Hawkins says metal ladles can be used on it. For a broader view of coated pans, read the best non stick pan guide.

Then look at size. The pans range from a 14 cm Milton to a 24 cm Prestige and a 3 litre Hawkins. The Prestige Ceraglide holds 1.4 litres and the Hawkins EZEE-POUR holds 1.5 litres.

Next, check the cooktop. Both Prestige pans and the Hawkins 1.5 litre version say whether they suit induction. Hawkins names only its 1.5 and 2 litre models as induction suitable, so the 3 litre is not listed. Milton does not say.

Compare the coatings too. Prestige offers granite and ceramic, Milton uses granite and Hawkins uses a German non-stick. For ceramic in more depth, see the best ceramic non stick pan page.

Handles and lids matter on a small pan. Hawkins says its saucepans have stay-cool plastic handles on stainless steel brackets riveted to the pan. Milton lists soft-touch Bakelite handles, and Prestige lists a cool-touch handle on the Ceraglide. Both Prestige pans come with a glass lid.

Think about what you heat in a saucepan. Hawkins names soups, tea and boiling milk for its pouring spout. Prestige points to oil saving on its ceramic pan. Milton stresses even heating from its heavy-gauge body. If you plan to use metal tools, note that Hawkins says metal ladles are fine on its uncoated pan, and Prestige calls the Omega surface friendly to metal spoons.

Last, compare warranty. Hawkins gives five years on the hard anodised pan and two on the Futura Nonstick. Prestige gives two years on the Omega and one on the Ceraglide. Milton lists none. Related pages include the best non stick frying pan and the non-stick cookware hub.

Verdict

The Prestige Omega with glass lid is the most complete option on the specs the makers state. The Ceraglide is the ceramic choice for small batches. The Hawkins EZEE-POUR is the pick for pouring, if you can live without a coating. The Futura 3 litre is the larger Hawkins option. The Milton is the smallest and least documented.
