Mauviel, a French family business established in 1830 and located in the Normandy town of Villedieu-les-Poeles, is the foremost manufacturer of professional copper cookware in the world today. Highly regarded in the professional world, with over 170 years of experience, Mauviel offers several different lines of copper cookware to professional chefs and home cooks that appreciate the benefits of their high quality products. Professional cooks can attest that copper cookware is an essential part of every cookware collection as it is 2X more conductive than aluminum and 10X more conductive than stainless steel. This advantage makes copper the very best material for cooking, as it is unsurpassed in its ability to heat up evenly and rapidly and to cool down quickly, allowing for maximum control and great cooking results. CUPRINOX, a professional line that has a thicker gauge of copper for added strength, combines two efficient materials, a very thick 2.5 mm copper exterior, and very thin layer of stainless steel on the interior. The copper exterior makes up 90% of the sandwiched material and provides for perfect conductivity. The stainless steel lining is easy to clean and very durable. CUPRINOX products have straight sides and have handles that are cast-iron and attached to the bodies with sturdy stainless steel rivets. CUPRINOX is resistant to high temperatures and scouring pads on the interior and comes with a limited lifetime warranty for household use only.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Comparison of Copperware Lines; Beware the Mauviel Shiny Finish!
COMPARISON BETWEEN FALK AND MAUVIEL:
Falk and Mauviel are the top two copper cookware competitors available in the US, and both manufacture 2.5mm thick copper cookware (please note 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 a 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...

There really is a difference
Copper cookware is a luxury, not a necessity. Having said that, there is definitely a difference in how it performs compared to all other cookware. I'm not going to pull out a copper pot to boil water or heat soup, but for sauteeing, sauce-making, or slow roasting I've found it unbeatable. All of my copper is Mauviel 2.5 mm (purchased in France when the dollar was at its strongest) and it performs flawlessly. As for cleaning, a little Barkeeper's Friend on a very wet sponge maintains the interior and exterior in like-new condition, although some people like the look of well-used copper (like an old penny). In short, if you plan to splurge, you really do get extra performance for your money with 2.5 mm copper.
Mauviel Cook Ware
This professional cookware [2.5 mm copper clad] from Mauviel is of superb quality and functionality. It is heavy as it should be, so for some this might create a problem requiring the lighter 1.5 mm copper thickness. The stainless cook surface cleans easily. The decorative appearance hanging in the kitchen is very pleasant. The product is expensive and worth the money. Amazon pricing was excellent. If you want quality which will last forever consider Mauviel. The French should definitely be proud of this product.
