This Steel Frying Pan will Last Foreverrrrrrrrrrrr!

Marvelous frying pan! Heavy, seasons well, huuuuuuge. Did I mention it was heavy? Forearm strength is necessary using this one....

great

It may get better than this, but I can't say. For the price, this is outstanding. This is very sturdy carbon steel pan that does what it's supposed to. I don't want a thicker steel than this. It finished easy enough, and has been improving as I use it. It's not for wet stuff, since the lip on it is so low- it's ideal for crepes, pancakes, etc, as well as searing fish and meat, and finishing in the oven.

Not only functional, but beautiful too

I bought the cooper pan to make jams and marmalades. The wide open rim makes it easy to add ingredients, stir, and skim.

Great for jam

We use this pan to cook jam on a gas range. This is the pan recommended in the Blue Chair Jam book. Jam cooks quickly and evenly, without burning. The huge surface area allows the jam to boil off water quickly. It works perfectly for what it is designed to do Also, the pan is beautiful hanging on the wall! Since the pan is solid copper and copper is relatively soft, the bottom shows scratches where it was dragged on the cast iron range grates.

Gorgeous copper pan!

Bought as a housewarming gift! Very pleased with quality!

perfect starter set~

i have and love this set. as the years have gone by I have added to this set but still have these pieces as the base of my "tool-chest." i also love the crate but still can't figure out how to best display it!

better than all clad

for the last 10 years i have cooked using a set of all clad copper core cookware. last year when i moved in to a new house my range was induction and i was devastated to learn that my copper core cookware was NOT induction ready! i did not want to downgrade and get the solid stainless all clad so i chose the mauviel stainless cookware and have been thrilled! in my opinion, it cooks better and faster than the all clad and my mauviel definitely retains its gleam better than the all clad ever did. although i hated that i had to get a new cookware set when i hadn't planned on it I am thrilled with my mauviel and can't wait to buy a rondeau next!

Worked Great

cleaned the copper saucepan - returned the shine to the copper from spatters and hard water spots - did not take all of them out but a great improvement

better than all clad

just replaced my all clad copper core with this set becauuse i got an induction range and it is even better! love it
