MauvielM'Heritage 150 S 1.5mm Polished Copper & Stainless Steel Frying Pan With Cast Stainless Steel Handle, 10.2-in, Made In France

Beautiful pan. Heats really quickly and sears really well. The pan is thin which mentally took a bit of getting used to as my clad stainless steel pans are thicker, however in my opinion this didn't negatively affect performance.Handles are comfortable. The copper gets discolored but that is expected with copper. (Battle scars). As the pan is not a non stick pan there will be some form of food sticking depending on how you use the pan. ( I don't see this as negative but rather a feature of stainless steel).

I have an older mauviel frying pan, which has been a tried and true workhorse.. but, the tin lining has been slowly eroding, so it was not as pretty. This pan, with the stainless steel frying surface, works as well or better than my tin lined pan, but does not erode with time. I will keep them both, but will use this pan for most of my cooking. Quality is 2nd to none.

Send as a gift to brother who already has many Mauviel products. Five thumbs up from him.

Beautiful workmanship, I wanted to love it but the performance doesn't warrant the price of copper (though Amazon's price was exceptionally good).As I've learned since this purchase, the 150 series Mauviel (including this pan) is lighter gauge, 1.5mm thick. The legacy Mauviel, the 250 series (a lot more expensive, and hard to find) is 2.5mm thick.The reason to own copper is twofold: 1) Quick response, so you can adjust heat instantaneously on a gas range. and 2) Even heating across the cooking surface.On my legacy Mauviel skillet, when you fry or saute, every inch of the surface is active and bubbling at the same rate. You don't even need to move the food around to cook it evenly. You can put a strip steak across the bottom and the middle will brown as fast as the edges.This pan, when I tested with a small amount of water, it was boiling in a circle above the gas flame, and no simmer for about a 4 inch circle in the center. My cheap 12 inch aluminum disk-bottom pan performs better for about 1/4 of the price.Anyway, the 150 series Mauviel might be perfectly adequate for smaller fry pans or sauce pans. But for a 12-inch fry pan -- well it's beautiful, and it might be great on a glass cooktop. But for French cooking over gas range -- either spring for 2.5 mm copper (which wil be very heavy), or just buy an aluminum or multi-clad pan with a thick bottom and save your money.

It is my first time use cooper pan. it is challenging to use it because I am use to non stick pan. but It is really awesome. I am loving this now , and I recommend to buy a copper cleaner for keep it shine.

First use made eggs and they stuck to the pan. The copper tarnished and black holes appeared on the bottom of the pan. Definitely not the quality I was expecting for such a price.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Side note, to get the shiny copper look back after use, Use equal parts of Salt and Vinigar. OH, and use a medium to low heat. Heats up REALLY fast due to it being copper. ENJOY!!!!

Do not waste your money. Buy a cheap copper coated pan which will cook and clean out so much better. Everything I cook in the M'Heritage Copper pan sticks. You spend more time cleaning it than cooking in it.
