Product Description
Mauviel, a French family business established in 1830 and located in the Normandy town of Villedieu-les-Poeles, is the foremost manufacturer of professional copper cookware in the world today. Highly regarded in the professional world, with over 170 years of experience, Mauviel offers several different lines of copper cookware to professional chefs and home cooks that appreciate the benefits of their high quality products. Professional cooks can attest that copper cookware is an essential part of every cookware collection as it is 2X more conductive than aluminum and 10X more conductive than stainless steel. This advantage makes copper the very best material for cooking, as it is unsurpassed in its ability to heat up evenly and rapidly and to cool down quickly, allowing for maximum control and great cooking results. CUPRINOX, a professional line that has a thicker gauge of copper for added strength, combines two efficient materials, a very thick 2.5 mm copper exterior, and very thin layer of stainless steel on the interior. The copper exterior makes up 90% of the sandwiched material and provides for perfect conductivity. The stainless steel lining is easy to clean and very durable. CUPRINOX products have straight sides and have handles that are cast-iron and attached to the bodies with sturdy stainless steel rivets. CUPRINOX is resistant to high temperatures and scouring pads on the interior and comes with a limited lifetime warranty for household use only.

Will Last Forever
By William M. Powell
Windsor pans are designed to reduce stock, and copper ones like this conduct heat better and reduce faster. The stainless steel interior is very durable.

By Shopsmith
Oh, I know, it costs a fortune, it doesn't go in the dishwasher, but it heats up like a champ, and looks divine hanging on the wall.I made my first batch of lemon curd (which I used to make in my mother's stainless/aluminum Lagostina hand me down), and there's no comparison. The copper Windsor pan heated up quickly, but I always felt I was in total control of the temperature, and never worried that it would overheat: as soon as I adjusted the flame, the temperature adjusted.As to the day to day, now I just plain refuse to warm milk in the microwave, it's just as quick to heat up in the pan (I mean it's *crazy fast*, warms up nicely, and you can pull it off before it scorches. In the microwave, you set it to 1 minutes or 2 minutes and you get what you get. Taste-wise, I've discovered slowly warmed milk from a pan is not comparable to microwave heating (full disclosure, I use milk from a local dairy farm. It's pasteurized but not homogenized, so your mileage may vary on the warmed milk. The pan, however, will deliver).PROS:- what they say about the control of copper is true: lemon curd, warm milk, are a treat to make. Heats up fast, extremely responsive to changes in the flame. As long as you're keeping an eye on it, you'll never overheat anything.- Go ahead, splurge for the 2.5mm (250c line). It costs more, but if you're just going with 1.5 mm (150s and 150c series), realize that you're just doing it for the divine look of hanging the pot on the rack. The thinner copper won't give you the speed or the control of the 2.5mm. If your going for copper, own it and go for 250c series.- It really does look divine. I never hung a pot on my wall until I got copper. Now I can't bear to put it in the cabinet.- The ergonomics of the cast iron handle is quite nice - better than most clad cookware, and head and shoulders over the all-clad handle.- Stainless interior means it's fairly hassle free.- Copper doesn't discolor as quickly as I thought. I assumed that as soon as I used the pot, I'd have to polish the copper. Not so. I've used it several times and it has its brand new shine. That being said, once the copper starts to show some patina, and if you want to maintain the copper shine, you can either buy their copperbrill product, or you can just sprinkle some salt on a lemon and run it over the copper. Rinse. Dry. You're done.CONS:- I would love a curved lip on the edge to pour more easily. That being said, it pours pretty well.- It's heavy for its size. A lot of that I think comes from the cast iron handle. On the plus side, it feels extremely sturdy. And it's a small pot, so it may be heavy for its size, but it's definitely manageable. Not sure I'd feel that way about a 5qt sauteuse.- Hand wash. This is not a pan for those who like to use the dishwasher. Hand wash and occasional "polish" (in my case this consists of putting a heap of salt on a quarter-slice of lemon, and running it on the outside. Shines!- Comes without a lid. I splurged and bought a lid separately. Yes, it's a windsor pan, and it's for reducing sauces, but sometimes your sauce has reduced plenty, and you want things to stay warm until you serve. Lids. They're not a luxury anymore.Overall, I love it. No regrets. Though, to be fair, I shopped around for the best price. There's a lot of variability of pricing for Mauviel out there online.Frankly, my preferred option would be to fly to Paris where these items can be bought for half the price. If it weren't for the darned flight and hotel :) Maybe for my next Mauviel purchase.
