Product Description
,Earth Pan Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch Skillet,Scanpan Professional 12-1/2-Inch Fry Pan,Swiss Diamond Nonstick 8″ Cast-Aluminum Fry Pan,Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 14-Inch Ope,Scanpan Classic 8-Inch Fry Pan Product Description This Mauviel Cuprinox frying pan features an extra-thick 2.5 mm copper exterior (0.5 mm thicker than the Cuprinox Style line), making it a favorite of chefs who value conductivity in their cookware. Copper is an unsurpassed cooking material known for its ability to heat rapidly on the burner and cool nearly as quickly when removed (it’s twice as conductive as aluminum). The 10.2-inch frying pan performs particularly well when browning meats or sautéing vegetables, as its wide, flat bottom efficiently absorbs heat. The pan also features shallow, sloped sides for easier turning when mixing up stir-fries or scrambles. Style-conscious chefs will appreciate the pan’s reddish-brown façade, which brightens up the dullest of kitchens.
In addition to its copper exterior, Mauviel Cuprinox cookware includes a thin layer of stainless steel on the interior of each pan. The stainless surface cleans easily and doesn’t impart metallic or other off flavors, as copper typically does when interacting directly with foods. The cookware also offers durable cast-iron handles with stainless rivets that hold up to heavy use. Mauviel recommends hand washing the cookware, which carries a limited lifetime warranty.

From Mrs. CyberDad:
This item was a gift during the winter holiday season, so this review covers several months of use, on a gas stove in a home kitchen.
First, this is a heavy skillet, so don’t expect to do any light-hearted tossing of ingredients. Heat control, as expected in copper, is excellent. If you are browning onions, for example, you can shut down the heat precisely when you want them to stop browning. There is no “retained heat” to continue the cooking process.
Second, this is not a skillet for the dishwasher. However, it cools so quickly after cooking that it can be hand-washed almost immediately. (The handle retains heat longer than the pan–and you will need to use a potholder.) A quick swish with a sponge and soapy water, rinsing and towel-drying, and the pan is ready to use again. Because of the quick cool-down time, there is very little trouble with burned-on food.
Third, I haven’t bothered to polish this pan, and I’ve enjoyed the brown coloration as it ages. I expect I’ll polish it if/when something needs to be scrubbed off, just as I do with my other cookware.
This is a nice addition to a family kitchen, in the size I happen to use most often.
