Comparison of Demeyere Atlantis vs. Falk Copper (Heat Transfer and Boiling Speed)
You buy copper pans for heat transfer speed and the benefits of its resulting responsiveness to changes in heat. You buy other pans like Demeyere because they are easier to care for.
Ease of care is important to me, but so is performance. I wanted to find out for sure if the heat transfer differences were very substantial, so I bought a Falk 10.5 quart 11" stock pot and a Demeyere Atlantis 8.5 quart 9" stock pot. (Falk is 2.5mm brushed copper coated with a .008" thick stainless (not tin) lining. They are equivalent to high-end Mauviel or Bourgeat in technical respects, except that they have a brushed finish rather than a mirror polish.)
Starting with a room-temperature stove (in both tests) on a 15k BTU gas burner on high-heat, I timed how long it took to bring *equal* amounts of cold water (same temperature) to a rolling boil. Why a mundane test like boiling water? Because it's an ideal test of the pans' ability to transfer heat rapidly and efficiently. A pan...
Fab, fab, fab!!!
I have used this pot a few times and it is fantastic. Heats contents rapidly. Cleans up in the dishwasher. Hope to use for years to come.
satisfied
Bought this and other Demeyere Atlantis products from Amazon.com. Also bought a 13-piece induction stove ready set from costco. Can not really tell the difference. But I am still satisfied because I know I should not expect for better ones now.
If you ar the type who can not sleep just because there are 'better' things ahead, you may not regret for buying this :-)
