    No idea where you are, but Arnotts has some. And I'm sure other places do too

    It would help if you were a bit more specific about what you're looking for. If you're talking about saucepans, there's no shortage of non-nonstick options out there. Try Arnotts, Stellar are a good make IMO, it's what I bought a year or two ago when I had to replace most of my pans after I bought an induction hob.

    Frying pans are another matter, and you may have to look a bit further to find a plain stainless steel one, but again it shouldn't be difficult. IKEA have a good range of cookware, including some very reasonable plain stainless steel frying pans.

    TK Maxx can also be worth a look, if there's one near you. They have what they have, so it's very hit and miss, but the prices tend to be appealing

    House of Fraser (they'll deliver) do a good range. We got some for Christmas a couple of years ago from a relative and they were great. Only problem was they didn't work on induction hobs so had to replace when we changed this year.

    That's unusual. Pretty much every range of pans we looked at when we got ours worked with induction hobs.

    i'm looking for a plain stainless steel frying pan, 26-28 cm. we specifically dont want non-stock, as for the type of food we cook, the coating tends to wear off after around a year. the stuff we cook usually required higher temperatures. there was a copper/steel pan in lidl couple weeks ago, i dont know why we didnt buy that... it looked like a plain uncoated pan.

    There's a specialist kitchen shop on Oliver Plunkett St. Can't remember the name but it's down the bus station end of the street, on the right as you're heading towards the bus station. Brown Thomas have lots, TK Maxx often have some.

    This is the kitchen shop: https://goo.gl/maps/WqDvrv1mPSE2

    I was in Arnotts a couple of weeks ago and i remember seeing the type of pan you are looking for, there was definitely one with a copper outer coating and i think they also had plain type by different makers. Arnotts deliver around the country also, I got a kitchen set delivered by them before.

    They were copper base which specifically doesn't work on induction as it doesn't conduct the heat in the same way. The rest of the pot was stainless steel.

    Bring a fridge magnet (or some other small magnet) with you. If the magnet will stick to the bottom of the pan, it will work on induction. Sometimes there's a thin veneer of copper "colour", but the pan itself is suitable for an induction hob.

    Yep had heard that so tried it. Magnet didn't stick. Unfortunately they were proper copper based. Gifted to a friend who would enjoy them and luckily our new hob came with an offer of a set of pots.
