What type of saucepan is best for cooking a ragù or tomato-based sauce?

I have a couple of good All-Clad pans but have read that stainless steel reacts to acidic sauces, as would carbon steel and cast iron. I want to avoid the non-sticks due to the PFA’s and also the ‘ceramic’ coatings which is basically just a silicone spray on. What does that leave?!

I have applied to register for VAT for a new company and the submission confirmation states the assessment and decision may take up to 40 working days. In practice does it usually take this long?

This is rather frustrating as I’ve setup a B2B business and need to complete payment forms for a partner company which includes VAT details. I will have to send an invoice next week, however will need to complete the forms first, I obviously cannot charge VAT without a registration number and want to avoid going back to the partner company after 40 working days asking to register again with VAT details. HMRC’s help page suggested just charging 20% extra on any invoices in the meantime, which is not feasible. I can probably push issuing my invoice and therefore the forms by around a month but would only do so if HMRC are likely to respond within this timeframe, does anyone have any relevant experience? Thanks
