Mauviel M'COOK Rondeau

The 5-ply construction layers stainless steel and aluminum to ensure heat spreads evenly across the entire surface, including the sides. This eliminates hot spots, which is crucial for consistent browning and steady simmering.

Yes, the M'Cook line is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen ranges. Its magnetic stainless steel exterior ensures it reacts efficiently to induction heat.

A rondeau is shallower than a Dutch oven but deeper than a standard sauté pan, featuring two loop handles rather than one long handle. This shape is specifically designed for browning large quantities of meat and then braising them in liquid, making it easier to maneuver in and out of the oven.

Yes, the pan and its stainless steel lid are oven-safe. The cast stainless steel handles are designed to withstand high temperatures, making it perfect for finishing dishes in the oven after searing on the stovetop.

The lid is designed to fit snugly, which is essential for trapping steam and moisture during long braises. While it is not a heavy cast-iron lid, it provides a precise seal that is effective for most stewing and braising techniques.

While the pan is durable, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain the finish. For stubborn stuck-on food, a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water works well without scratching the surface.
