Mauviel - Shiny Finish Hard to Keep Clean, but Evenly Heats
COMPARISON BETWEEN FALK AND MAUVIEL:
Falk and Mauviel are the top two copper cookware competitors, and both manufacture 2.5mm thick copper cookware (but Mauviel does manufacture some lines of cookware with much less copper; see my notes below). Falk only sells directly to the public via their US distributor's website (you can search the web, and find their direct sales online at their website).
I purchased a 1.3qt Mauviel saucepan with lid and a Falk Sauciere 1.4qt with a lid. This was not a scientific test, nor was it a comparison of equals - the sauciere is 7" (almost 7.5") in diameter, and the Mauviel saucepan is deeper and narrower, with a 5.5" diameter. I filled each with 3 cups of cold water, and timed their boil on low heat (warning - high heat will discolor the copper!) on a large gas Jenn-Air cooktop (propane gas). With lids on (but checking frequently after the first 10 minutes), the Falk boiled at 14 minutes and the Mauviel at 14 minutes 30 seconds -...
Best Cookware I've ever worked out with.
I have had several of the Mauviel pans for about 6 months and I am amazed at how nice they are to use. Even heat perfect every time. I was surprised at how easy they are to clean (hand wash obviously) I have no compulsion to shine my copper cookware but I understand the other reviewers preference. Dont mess about with cheap stuff if you like to cook go with the best.
Beautiful piece of workmanship
Solid, extremely well made, top of the line item. Can't be beat, but too pricey to have many of these around. Very heavy, so not suitable for someone with insufficient strength to hoist such a pan round the kitchen.
