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.

I love this pan. It's incredibly versatile. I use it instead of a straight-sided saute pan (many cooks don't like to do this but it's my preference). The 12 inch copper pan weighs a ton and is not ballanced for tossing food ... so don't think of this as a larger version of your 10" fry pan. It's best sitting on the stove solidly, with you turning the food in it with tongs or a spatula.There's plenty of room to make a pan sauce, and I like having sloped sides for this--easier to get into the corners with a whisk or spoon. It's also my all time favorite pancake making pan. It heats evenly from center to edge, which is a pretty good trick for a pan this large.Being copper, it's every bit as responsive as you'd expect. The feeling of control is addictive. You'd have to be an arsonist to burn anything in this pan. But in spite of its quick heating and cooling nature, it does a nice job of browning meat--even big pieces. Not as aggressively as heavy cast iron, but I have no complaints. It's also a perfectly capable roasting pan. I've roasted everything from chickens to vegetables to pork tenderloins it, usually at 500 degrees. Cleanup can be a drag after this, but such is life when you roast with lots of fire. Only drawback is that handle is long, so it will take up much more than its fair share of the oven.And then there's price. Copper is up ... these have gone from expensive to outrageous. I think you'd have to consider it a luxury unless you're loaded. The good news is that there's no reason to have a huge set of copper. For me I just have the ones that I saute or make sauces in--this, and a couple of sauce pans. My 10" fry pan is aluminum, and much better for tossing food than even the 10" copper pans. And it costs a quarter as much.Anyway, if you're a fanatical cook, appreciate a versatile pan that does it all well, and are feeling burdened by too much currency in your pockets, I can't recommend this highly enough.

The copper conducts heat beautifully and the stainless interior really lasts. Things stick to the bottom which is then deglazed with wine or broth. Expensive but worth it.

This Mauviel pan is helping to complete my Mauviel collection of cookware, which I just love. The pan heats up quickly and evenly and has not had any issues with sticking. It's also pretty heavy! I do need to polish it, though, after almost every use, as it has a tendency to discolor when exposed to heat. I reviewed this cookware on my hubpages site as well at [...]
