Decent, but not "real" copper cookware
November 29, 2012
I was given a number of these as a wedding gift. I have always had really good copper in my kitchen and I'm afraid these just dont compare. First it's only 2mm thick and for a stainless lined pan that really does hinder control. 2mm would be fine if it was tin or sterling lined but you want between 2.5 and 3mm for stainless lining. These are fine but truth be told no pro would touch anything mauviel except for their stock pots. The pros use Matfer Bourgeat which is hands down the best copper in the world still produced. It's not often sold in consumer stores and it cost a bit more, but it will make you understand how amazing real copper cookware is. Oh and real copper has cast iron handles that take far longer to heat up.
Cons: Quality, adapted for the home cook at the expense everythin

The Best Pan, Hands Down!
October 3, 2012
I always heard copper was the best, and Mauviel proves it. The heat distribution is amazing! I read the instructions that came with it, and really have never had to turn my electric stovetop past a 4 or 5 to cook anything - high heat becomes irrelevant with such superior cookware.
We bought this with giftcards we got for our wedding and I'm SO glad we did. It's a dream to use!
It is heavy but I don't mind. It's worth it!

9.5" pan: nice, but weighs 13 oz more
August 24, 2011
This pan is described as weighing 2 lb, 10 oz. In fact, it weights 3 lb, 7 oz.
It's a great pan, versatile, and durable. But it weighs significantly more than the W-S specifications say.

Professional grade pans
July 31, 2010
These are wonderful, made to last pans. Of course the handles can get hot - they are meant to go from stove top to oven and vice versa. That is why cooks love them, they are a multi-purpose one cook pan. They also last forever. After cooking with them many times they still retain their beauty and high polish finish.
You can buy pot handles( silicone) that slip right on over the handle & can stay on for the duration of your cooking if you just intend to use them for the stove top only.
The construction, core, heat displacement and cooking control of these pans are what make them superior.
Any serious cook will be thrilled with this cookware! Highly recommend!

Heat-conducting handle
January 21, 2010
First review... Have a number of Mauviel copper pans and pots. I have been extremely satisfied with Mauviel UNTIL I received the 7 and 9½" frying pans. Yes, sure, it's nice that they do not use tin ling but the handles are disasters. The "long riveted bronze handle" may keep your hands away from the heat, but the bronze in the handle conducts heat almost as well as copper (since bronze consists mainly of copper, if I'm not mistaken) and this results in an incredibly HOT handle. The other Mauviel pots I have seem to have cast-iron handles, and remain fairly cool. Disappointing. Just my two cents...

Mostly good
May 8, 2009
I bought this in an 8-piece set. My only problem with these copper items is that if you do not dry the exterior immediately after washing they will develop ugly, black spots as the water dries. While most of these spots come off with copper cleaner, they will never return to the original state, even using CopperBrill. That being said, copper is the best for quick heating and cooling and the stainless steel interior is much easier to maintain than traditional tinned copper pots (I have one of these as well). Be sure to add salt with the food or as the water boils or you risk pitting the interior if salt sits on the botom of the pot while cooking.

A fantastic fry pan
April 17, 2009
I used my American Express Rewards points to purchase the 11" pan after becoming impressed with an old copper sauce pan I inherited. The Mauviel pan heats and cools quickly and evenly, and I like that it can go from stovetop to oven and back. I have cooked fish, vegetables and meat in this pan and am thrilled every time. My only complaint is that I haven't figured out how to cook eggs in it without major sticking and mess. Nevertheless, I love this pan more every time I use it, and it looks so beautiful I leave it out to see. I plan to buy more Mauviel cookware in the future.

fantastic fry pan
October 24, 2008
I just bought the 11" Mauviel copper fry pan and tested it out on my electric cooktop.
This pan heats up so much faster than my AllClad LTD fry pan or my Caphalon nonstick pan. The difference is quite noticeable. It also cooks alot faster (I tried it out by frying an egg). The egg cooked in the AllClad would take a while to cook and it would stick to the pan. In the Mauviel it cooked very fast and evenly, didn't burn and didn't stick. Mauviel is expensive, but well worth it. I was skeptical at first, but after using it I'm sold!

The best for meat
October 3, 2008
I absolutely love these pans. I have both the small and the larger one. I use it for filet mignon, salmon, sautéing veggies, stir fry and so much more. I can brown my steak on the stove, and then put it right in the oven using the same pan to melt the goat cheese. I love how they can go from stove top to oven. It's wonderful. The temperature of the pans are great. When you take it off the heat, everything stops cooking, unlike my other set of cookware. Perfect in every way.
