The beautiful world of copper - MAUVIEL

Ever wonder what it's like to sear a piece of fish or meat, perfectly browning the outside while retaining a nice rare inside, all while doing your hair and fixing your make-up in the reflection of your pan ??

Now you can juggle your skills all at once with MAUVIEL. Copper is tops when it comes to cooking and at a low price of $300-400 for one frying pan, you too can immerse yourself into this world of shiny brilliance.

So why the hell is copper so good? Well, to begin, copper conducts heat better and responds faster to heat augmentation or reduction. MAUVIEL makes three lines of copper. They are, in order of price scale from lowest to highest, as follows:
-M'heritage tabletop (brass handles)
-Cuprinox style (stainless steel handles)
-Professional (cast iron handles)

Each line increases in thickness (insignificantly, in my mind) so there is not much difference between one line from another other than the handles. Furthermore, all of Mauviel's cookware has a lifelong guarantee.

It's almost a give-in to get the tabletop series as it is the most asthaetically pleasing and most MAUVIEL products such as turbotieres and champagne holders are made with brass handles. Do you really want to spend thousands of dollars on shit that doesn't match??!!!

While there are other companies that make copper such as Falk, Ballarini and deBuyer, Mauviel remains my favourite and has been, and continues to be family run since its inception in 1830. Also, all hand made!
