Thanks for the detailed review! I live in Bulgaria and often shop from the German Amazon site as they deliver to my country. I just ordered and received a Mauviel M'Heritage M'150 S 24 cm Saute Pan (1.5mm 90/10 Copper/Stainless Steel with Stainless Steel Handle) for an amazing price 165 Euro. Retail Price at the Mauviel official website is 309 Euro. I was worried that maybe it is too good to be true but the pan arrived flawless. I ordered a lid as well from Amazon at 75 Euro (Mauviel Official Retail Price 150 Euro) I think that for 165 Euro pan only - is a reasonable price. I am used to cooking with Le Creuset and Staub but have always wanted at least 1 copper pan. Mauviel are marketing the 150 series 1.5mm for home cooks and the 200 2.0mm for professional chefs. At least they are not hiding it.

Isn’t that a sauté pan, always thought a rondeau is the one with two short handles

You are correct, it is most definitely a sauté pan and not a rondeau

So sad that Mauviel lost their forge (burned down) which made the true cast iron handles, as the Falk still has. This is why Mauviel has resorted to the fake cast iron handle - electroplated textured steel. I also just don't care for the straight sides that Mauviel has on much of their copper. Flared edges always work so much better. I have the Mauviel M'Cook stainless with the cast iron handles and love it but you cannot find those any more. At one time the Mauviel copper made for Williams Sonoma stores had flared rims. I adore my Falk as well as Bourgeat copper too. The cast iron handles of the Falk, as with Bourgeat, are not the same angles from pan to pan. Some are quite steep and other are less so.

@@mq46312 Around 2015 or so. I was collecting Mauviel M'Cook stainless with the iron handle. Got most of the line - about 12 pieces and then all of a sudden I could not find the ones with the real cast iron handles any more and then I noticed that the Mauviel copper pieces I was seeing in the stores also did not have the iron handles any more. So I knew something was up. I finally found out from a guy who runs an online store that sells high end copper cookware.

I've watched some of your videos and I really like them a lot! They are so very nicely in depth into all the details of the pots and pans. One thing that might have been interesting for this video would be how they perform on induction. Is this stainless steel layer magnetised in any way or would one be better of buying Atlantis-cookware?

@GistGappie 2 жыл бұрын

And to add to that a comparison between an all-copper cookware vs. clad cookware with alu/copper core would be particularly interesting for me as I'm hesitant on what to buy.

@@GistGappie Copper pans won't work on induction unless they have a magnetic SS base. Falk has a induction-compatible copper core line, SS-CU-SS. De Buyer also makes copper pans with a magnetic SS base. Interesting suggestion!

Isn't he great (MQ)? I so enjoy his analyses of each pan. I hope you don't mind if I give my opinion on this question. I have some of both Falk Copper Coeur (made for induction) and the De Buyer Prima Matera copper, also made for induction, as well as the Demeyere Atlantis. All three are wonderful, and the Falk CC line is really impressive. What I find is that having some of both Demeyere Atlantis and the Falk and/or De Buyer is helpful. The copper pans will react much faster if you're making a sauce, for instance. For searing and other higher-heat applications where you really want the heat to hold for a bit of time, you can't beat the Demeyere. The Demeyere Atlantis takes a lot longer to cool down on induction, so sometimes you want a pan that will react more quickly to heat changes, and then the Falk Copper Coeur is helpful.

@@tbeesknees Thanks a lot. This was really insightful! Knowing this I'll probably expand my Atlantis series then and also look for one ss-cu(-ss?) small saucepan for technical/precise stuff like caramelising sugar etc. Maybe the Falk "try-me" 16 cm pan would be a nice offer to check out then. Not sure if it is also on discount in Europe/NL. Currently I'm on a gas stove but knowing that I'll probably be cooking on induction later in my life I find it hard to not include induction-compactibility in the decision.

great video thanks so much . I would love your opinion i am trying to choose between Falk and Mauviel and a LeCreuset braiser for use on our induction cooktop. I am replacing a 13 inch scanpan braiser which is no longer non stick (never again). Thanks so much for your input i really appreciate it.

I have watched all of your videos and I think you have provided very insightful analysis on the cookware that you own. Just curious, will you consider producing a video demonstrating what do you usually cook with any of the pots and pans that you use often? It would be good if it can to be a vegetarian dish.

I read online Falk's stainless interior was prone to pitting. Has this been your experience? Are those marks in the bottom of your pan pits or can that be removed? Thank you!

@mq46312 Жыл бұрын

No they are not pits, just a bit of patina.

@liahfox5840 3 ай бұрын

Wait until your water is already boiling before adding salt and it won't cause as much pitting/staining. This will happen to any stainless steel, but it will show up worse if the cookware was that much more efficient. IE thick-copper/silver cookware.

I don't get why Mauviel reduced thickness of its 2.5mm pans to 2.0mm. 1 kg of copper costs 7.80 USD (21 Sep 2022). There is some cost to change an ingot to a sheet. How much more copper is that extra 0.5mm? Unlikely to be more than 1 kg per pan. A copper sheet 1000mm long, 1000mm wide, and 2.3 mm thick weighs 20.79 kg. If it is 2.25 mm thick the weight is 20.34 kg. Change the thickness to 1.8mm and it's 16.27 kg - roughly 4 to 4.5 kg less. You can get a few 12" frying pans with a 1m square sheet. And unused scrap can be sold back, so there isn't much waste. Sure, at scale producing thousands of pans it'll add up, but better to increase the price of a piece by a few dollars rather than take the hit to the reputation. Matfer Bourgeat is still doing 2.5 mm copper + 0.1 mm stainless. Cast iron handles and rounded lips.

Interesting. Where/how does Mauviel use aluminium in their copper cookware?

@BougieBiz 2 ай бұрын

@@mq46312 They put aluminum in the core and/or handles. The 150S line has zero aluminum but that's it. The 200 and 250 lines only have aluminum in the handles. All the other collections have an aluminum core in varying percentages. Which is so frustrating since their prices reflect what you would pay for pure copper! Falk uses zero aluminum in all their products 🙂 I confirmed this information with Mauvial customer support in France and Falk CS in Belgium.
